Nice summerys.
Pretty disappointing we arnt further, but its good to see a few companys working on the problem.
I too wondered why TOLED screens arnt used.
I understand they could only “overlay” light, and not subtract (no blacks), but it would still be pretty usefull. (and you could always at a normal LCD back).

Guess its down to focusing issues.

The other question is if anyone is working on side-projection?
Do we need lens at all? We have research going as far as contact lens….which is great…but wouldn’t projecting images from the sides be vastely easier? Have to stick out more then glass’s, of course. But I think the non-lens aspex would make them more mass-consumer friendly if the technology could be done.
