Samsung intensifies competition in AR glasses with innovative microdisplay technology

Sure! Here’s a rewritten version of your content with external promotional references removed or rephrased:

Your next AR headset may include a brand-new microdisplay technology from Samsung. According to a new report from South Korean business news outlet The Korea Economic Daily, Samsung's semiconductor division is now accelerating work on its new microdisplay technology, LED on Silicon, or LEDoS. LEDoS is described as a "miniature display platform built on micro-LEDs mounted on silicon wafers." This next-generation display is being developed with the intention of being used in augmented reality products (AR). Samsung's new microdisplay technology could intensify competition in the AR space. In addition to its own upcoming AR glasses, the company reportedly aims to supply its LEDoS technology for use in products developed by other major tech companies.

When will we see LEDoS AR glasses? According to the report, Samsung is currently targeting commercial production of LEDoS by 2027. That's also when Samsung's Mobile eXperience (MX) division may debut the company's second-generation AR glasses.

Smart glasses and AR headsets represent a significant focus in the tech hardware landscape. This trend was evident earlier this year at CES 2025, where various AR startups showcased their latest augmented reality innovations. It's not just emerging companies that are getting involved; established tech firms like Sony and XREAL are also releasing new products in the AR headset market. Additionally, other well-known companies have already introduced offerings in this field.

Earlier this year, Samsung briefly hinted at its anticipated XR headset, "Project Moohan," a collaboration between the South Korean electronics giant and Google. Tech companies are making considerable investments in AR, despite the challenges faced during early attempts.

Speaking of Google, the search giant has remained relatively quiet in this area. While Google is perhaps most recognized for its previous venture into smart glasses with Google Glass, which had a mixed reception, there are expectations of announcements related to Project Astra, a visual AI tool designed for mobile devices and AR headsets, at an upcoming event in 2025. With significant augmented reality initiatives underway from Samsung and Google, it is clear that major tech players are committed to advancing AR headsets and smart glasses. They appear determined to achieve success in an area where others have previously stumbled.
