Fraunhofer: interactive data eyeglasses with OLED microdisplays in 2 years
A couple of month ago, the Fraunhofer institute has shown their interactive data eyeglasses. These glasses include an OLED microdisplay on a CMOS chip that also includes an eye tracker. They now say that such devices could be ready within 2 years.

The OLED is an Active-Matrix one, with 320x240 resolution, 8bit color level. The Peak luminance is less than 11,000cd/m2, and the efficiency is 5.3cd/A@500cd/m2.

The chips (which is 19.3 by 17 mm) is fitted behind the hinge on the temple. The image is then projected onto the retina of the user. The OLED have been chosen because they needed high luminance.
