REQUIREMENTS OF DISPLAY MODULES FOR HEADSETS
9
• Small size– Optics, display, illumination and packaging– Determine headset design flexibility
• Comfortable viewing– Optics with large eye box and eye relief– Optimum field of view depends on applications (10 – 30 deg)
• High brightness for outdoor viewing– Up to1000 nits to the eye for see-around– Up to 2000 nits for see-through
• Good image quality– Good contrast (> 100), smooth image and good color
• Low Power– Long battery life
• Ease of assembly (into headset)– Low cost
• Ruggedness for outdoor use– Resistant to dust, moisture, shock and vibration
