Synaptics 4K Micro OLED VR Display Driver enables affordable 1.3" 4Kx4K 120hz VR/MR Display Market

Synaptics introduces a new VR display driver aimed at reducing costs for the emerging 1.3" 4Kx4K Micro OLED 120Hz display market. Vishal Shah, Senior Director of Product Marketing for VR displays and Automotive touch and display Solutions, presents the latest generation of display driver technology. This driver is specifically designed for micro OLED displays, boasting 4K resolution at a 120Hz refresh rate, akin to the technology used in the Apple Vision Pro.

Traditional micro OLED displays necessitate a costly silicon backplane due to their small pixel density and fast refresh rates. Integrating the display driver onto this backplane further escalates expenses. Synaptics addresses this by pioneering a display driver with chip-on-silicon technology. By mounting the driver directly onto the silicon backplane, costs are slashed without compromising performance, making micro OLED displays more accessible for various sizes while maintaining affordability.

The cost reduction potential is substantial, potentially halving or even tripling price drops for consumers, depending on display size. This innovation circumvents the expense associated with silicon-based backplanes, essential for accommodating the high pixel density demanded by micro OLED technology, compared to traditional glass substrates. The collaboration extends to key players in the micro OLED market, including Sony, Samsung, and LG, among others, highlighting the necessity of partnering with Synaptics to leverage this breakthrough.

Furthermore, Synaptics aids in enhancing display yield, crucial for reducing costs further. By minimizing display artifacts and defects, they improve overall yield, contributing to cost savings in the manufacturing process. The focus on yield improvement underscores Synaptics' commitment to making micro OLED displays more economically viable.

In addition to micro OLED advancements, Synaptics introduces their R63457 display driver for LCD displays, featuring local dimming technology and lens correction. This driver not only enhances contrast and resolution but also addresses optical distortions common in VR headsets. Moreover, it optimizes power consumption through four-wheel rendering and scaling, reducing bandwidth requirements and enhancing battery life.

The LCD solution presents an attractive alternative, offering comparable user experiences at a more affordable price point. This aligns with Synaptics' mission to democratize VR technology, making it accessible to a broader consumer base. As VR adoption grows, cost-effective solutions become paramount in driving market expansion and consumer adoption.

Synaptics' extensive experience in the VR display market positions them as a key player in shaping its future. By focusing on cost reduction and technological innovation, they aim to accelerate the adoption of VR and MR technologies, paving the way for immersive experiences on a global scale.
