High Resolution Displays Critical for Immersive Experience Virtual Reality (VR) HMDs industry

Findings from ,numerous studies are clear, growing adoption of virtual reality (VR) devices worldwide is driving the demand for significantly higher quality displays, with almost two-thirds (66%) of VR HMDs expected to support 4K (Ultra HD) resolution in 2022, according to recent forecasts from ABI Research.

For those who are unfamiliar, Displays with higher pixel density, wider field of view (FOV), and higher refresh rates are being developed to provide users with a more immersive experience.

Higher resolution displays are required to solve the screen door effect caused by short distances between the user’s eyes and the VR display.

Tethered VR devices which are usually targeted at gaming applications, support higher resolutions displays compared to mobile or standalone segments.
