Omnivision recently introduced its OP03050, a low-power, small form factor liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) panel that integrates the LCOS array, driving circuit, framebuffer and interface in a single chip. This all-in-one LCOS panel is designed to save board space and reduce power consumption in wearable devices, including augmented reality (AR), extended reality (XR) and mixed reality (MR) smart glasses and head-mounted displays. The high integration also simplifies the system design.

The OP03050 provides an immersive experience for real-time video conferencing and streaming in both consumer and B2B applications thanks to the high pixel pitch, Omnivision said. The LCOS products feature a high resolution, high frame rate and up to six color fields that all contribute to better image quality without image retention.
“The high pixel pitch of the OP03050 results in better image quality and a more immersive viewing experience for the user,” said Devang Patel, Omnivision’s marketing director for the IoT and emerging segment, in a statement. “In fact, while the consumer market is a driving force behind the growing demand for smart glasses, the more immersive experience makes them useful for B2B applications as well, such as in the medical, engineering and aerospace fields.”
Key features of the OP03050 LCOS panel include a 3.0-micron pixel pitch, a 1560 × 1200 display resolution at 120 Hz with low latency and support for a four-channel MIPI-DSI interface.
The OP03050, in a 0.23-inch optical format, is housed in a small FPCA package. Samples are available now. Mass production is planned for the second half of 2024.
