Enabling AI Glasses Through Single Panel RGB Micro-LED

Dr. Nikhil Balram CEO at Mojo Vision

Presentation Abstract

Science-fiction writers have long imagined a world in which omniscient AI lives at our fingertips guiding and informing our every move. The astounding advances made in 2023 have brought that day closer. But a big practical barrier is developing the device it could most naturally reside on. Having it on your phone seems like a natural step, but what about all those times your phone is in your pocket or purse or car cupholder. For AI to truly see what you see it needs the same vantage point. And to help you interpret and interact with the world as you see it, it needs to be able to overlay its perspective on top of the one you see. If that sounds like a cool lightweight pair of very #smartglasses to you, you’re right on the money. But all the smart glasses today that look and feel like glasses have camera and audio only. What’s missing! A super-compact, super-efficient display with a super dynamic range and a super colour gamut. Sounds like a cue for micro-LED . At Mojo we have been building the world’s tiniest displays for several years. First tiny green, then tiny blue, then tiny red. And now tiny red, green, and blue all together as a giant step towards those Eye of God glasses. This talk will walk you through our journey. The world’s smallest Red, Green and Blue displays will be demonstrated to people who attend in person.
