Meta has just unveiled its first-ever full-color AR glasses, Orion, at Meta Connect 2024. These innovative glasses utilize LEDoS (silicon-based Micro LED) technology and are impressively lightweight at just 98 grams. TrendForce’s recent analysis indicates that 2024 is set to be a crucial year for leading brands venturing into the near-eye display market within the metaverse. Nevertheless, Meta’s AR glasses are still struggling to achieve an optimal balance between FOV and resolution, as well as developing a more robust application ecosystem. It’s predicted that these devices may not be commercially available until after 2027.
Efforts to reduce the cost of Micro LED chips through size miniaturization are ongoing. Companies like LGE, BOE, and Vistar continue to invest in large display applications, while AUO has been focusing on developing smartwatch products. There is also growing demand for new display applications in head-mounted devices and for automotive uses. TrendForce’s “2024 Micro LED Market Trend and Cost Analysis Report” reveals that the market value of Micro LED chips is projected to reach $580 million by 2028, with a CAGR of 84% from 2023 to 2028.
TrendForce’s latest LED industry report indicates that the global market is set to recover in 2024, with estimated revenues reaching US$13 billion—marking a YoY growth of 3%.
TrendForce’s latest reports indicate a significant turning point for the LED lighting market in 2024, as an estimated quantity of 5.8 billion LED lamps and luminaires reach the end of their lifespan. This milestone is set to trigger a substantial wave of secondary replacements, breathing new life into the market and boosting total LED lighting demand to an impressive 13.4 billion units.
TrendForce notes that the original suppliers for the Apple Watch included ams OSRAM for Micro LED vertical chips from its 8-inch factory in Malaysia and South Korean panel giant LG Display for the glass driving backplane and mass transfer processes. Now, with the partnership dissolved, the 2026 debut seems increasingly out of reach.
