Multiple sources indicated that Apple will announce the first AR/VR headset at the WWDC 2023 Developers Conference held on June 6. Ross Young, CEO of screen supply chain consultancy DSCC, tweeted today to share more details about the headset screen.
Ross Young said in a tweet that Apple’s first headset will be equipped with two 1.4-inch screens made of Micro OLED (OLED on Silicon), with a brightness of more than 5,000 nits and a pixel density of 4,000 pixels per inch. The resolution of the block screen has also reached 4K.
With a brightness higher than 5,000 nits, Apple’s headset can support HDR content that is not available in the mainstream headset market.
According to Ross Yang’s tweet, the brightness of mainstream headsets is attached here as follows: Meta Quest 2 has a maximum brightness of about 100 nits and does not provide HDR; HoloLens 2 provides 500 nits of brightness; Sony’s brightness of the PSVR 2 headset is about 265 nits, and the official announcement supports HDR.
Ross Yang said that 5000 nits are the peak brightness of the screen and that during daily use, the headset may reduce the brightness to provide higher contrast, brighter colors and better rendering than mainstream headsets.
