Black technology is not just VR. Check out the technologies you don’t know about.

　　

　　The touch screen in "Minority Report", the holographic projection in "Avatar", and the head-up display in "Iron Man" are all very avant-garde and bold new ideas in many movies, and they are also expressed in various forms. However, these novel ideas are all reliable predictions of future display technology, and they can basically be based on scientific evidence.

　　

　　Science fiction movies can bring you the most intuitive visual shock, especially when you see the protagonists using such sci-fi display devices. These future exchange lives are not just fantasies, but predictions of future display life based on the level of technological development at the time. Although some of them seemed unrealistic at the time, many of them have now been realized.

　　

　　Holographic projection is truly a black technology

　　

　　The prototype of the touch screen in "Minority Report" has now become popular on smartphones, while the holographic projection in "Avatar" and the head-up display in "Iron Man" have not yet become popular. Speaking of holographic projection, it is a veritable black technology of display. In the entire pan-display field, its display magic is also very high-end.

Holographic projection

　　

　　Speaking of holographic projection, this is a display technology that was once very popular. Its general technical principle is to use virtual imaging hardware, with the support of software, to directly project images with light. In a complete sense, a vivid and intuitive example should be like a person walking in a forest and having the feeling of interacting with real objects. The only difference from reality is that everyone can see it, but it can only be seen but not touched.

　　

　　The display method of holographic projection is several levels higher than VR, and the magic level is far greater than VR. VR deceives your eyes on the screen, while holography deceives your body in the real environment, such as vision, hearing, and in the future, smell, touch, etc. may be added. Basically, all the clues in real life are reproduced once to deceive your brain.

　　

　　The inside of Iron Man's helmet is really smart

　　Everyone has seen "Iron Man", right? Tony Stark's high-tech armor is really enviable. The armor is full of mechanisms and is fully armed with high technology. The inside of Iron Man's helmet is very smart, with a floating display interface, which can display all the internal and external environmental information in front of the eyes when the armor is in state.

　　In fact, this kind of head-up display-like form of watching movies should be multiple overlapping displays or directly holographic projection. The helmet is equipped with an eye tracking system, which is similar to the infinite focus head-up display technology in some motorcycle helmets today. You can see a clear picture without adjusting the position to a specified distance.

　　

　　Speaking of head-up display, with the development of automobile intelligence, this technology has gradually become a standard configuration for mid-to-high-end models. The high-end new technology that could only be seen in blockbusters in the past has now entered the real life of consumers from blockbusters. It has attracted more and more attention from users and consumers.

　　

　　The VR market is still in its infancy

　　

　　Let’s turn our attention back to the hot VR. Although the exposure has continued to rise from last year to this year, and it is now the most popular and most accessible display black technology, the current development status of the market is still in its early stages. Strictly speaking, 2016 is just the beginning of its scale.

VR

　　

　　After decades of ups and downs, VR has now officially become a major successor to future display, which can be said to be a long way to go. At the same time, after countless technological innovations, it is considered by more and more people in the industry to be a hot spot in the future display industry. It has also become the hottest black technology sought after by manufacturers and users. In this regard, VR is great.

　　

　　But VR still has a long way to go. After all, the concept of VR has been around for a long time, but VR hardware products have not been released until the technical problems in electronics and optics have been solved in recent years. The problems of dizziness and position tracking have only been solved recently. The VR market is still small and there are no clear standards, so take your time.

　　

　　Only OLED can achieve both ultra-thinness and performance

　　In fact, compared to VR, another black technology is the ultra-thin display. In the novels written by science fiction writers, people will use an ultra-thin electronic device, and users can get the information they want by clicking on the screen. Now such products exist, such as the iPad, but this iPad is still different from the ideas of science fiction writers, that is, the iPad is a bit thick.

OLED

　　

　　Only OLED can achieve this balance of ultra-thinness and performance. Before the release of iPhone 7, the most popular demand was from users for OLED screens. The reason why OLED has attracted so much attention is mainly because of its excellent physical properties and good display effects, and its thickness can be less than 1 mm.

　　

　　Especially with the current concept of thin and light electronic devices, OLED display will undoubtedly be the darling of the market, and for mobile use, drop and shock resistance are important, and OLED has a solid structure inside, which has excellent performance in this regard. The grayscale response time is also much shorter than LCD, and the brightness can be zero when the screen is completely black. However, judging from the current domestic mobile phones using OLED domestic screens, OLED will be dominated by Japanese and Korean brands for a long time in the future.
