Meta’s Ray‑Ban Display Uses OmniVision LCOS and Lumus Waveguide, TrendForce Says

The component disclosure highlights a notification‑first design that fits Meta’s loss‑leading push before the fuller AR glasses Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has reported for 2027.

Overview

  • TrendForce reports the Ray‑Ban Display employs a single‑eye LCOS microdisplay from OmniVision paired with a Lumus array waveguide.
  • The display is specified at a 20° field of view, 600×600 resolution, 42 ppi, and 5,000 nits brightness, targeting quick information prompts rather than immersive visuals.
  • Meta’s new glasses add an on‑lens display but are not a true augmented‑reality device, according to the product coverage.
  • The model is priced at $799 in the U.S., and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Meta is selling it below manufacturing cost.
  • Gurman also reports an internal roadmap pointing to a dual‑screen smart‑glasses model in 2027 followed later that year by a holographic AR version expected to carry higher prices.
