WI Harper sees display technology limiting growth of full-color AR glasses
  • AR glasses face a market split between indoor passthrough devices and outdoor see-through models, with optical losses limiting performance.
  • LCoS displays and reflective waveguides offer the near-term path for full-color outdoor glasses, but require a small image.
  • Full-color microLED is the leading long-term candidate for wide-view daylight glasses; micro-OLED remains a challenger if brightness proves durable.
  • Display engines are the industry's scarce strategic layer, making platform acquisitions a realistic exit for startups with proven performance.
  • Meta and EssilorLuxottica sold about 7 million smart glasses in 2025, mostly without displays.
