Santa Clara, USA – June 1st, 2017- Goertek launched the prototype of the next generation VR HMD-Elf VR at the 8th Augmented World Expo. A ground-breaking PC-based VR HMD that integrated Kopin “Lightning” OLED micro displaying technology with Goertek’s innovation capabilities. Compared with other VR products, Elf VR is enhanced with ultra-high screen resolution and refresh rate, small and lightweight form-factor design and other characteristics:
  • Elf VR is equipped with Kopin "Lightning" OLED Microdisplay panels, which featured with 2048*2048 resolution of each panel, to provide binocular 4K ultra-high image resolution and 120Hz refresh-rate. The image resolution almost doubled from current mainstream VR HMD design and the refresh rate is significantly enhanced as well. Combined with both 4K Ultra-High image resolution and 120Hz refresh-rate, Elf VR provides much less grainy images with excellent quality, and effectively reduces the sense of vertigo.
  • The Microdisplay panels on Elf VR are manufactured with advanced ultra-precise processing technics. Its pixel density was increased by around 400% compared to the conventional TFT-LCD, OLED and AMOLED display, and the screen size can be reduced to approximately 1/3 at similar pixel resolution level. The Elf VR also adopted an advanced optical solution with a compact Multi-Lens design, which enabled it to reduce the thickness of its optical module by around 60%, and to reduce the total weight of VR HMD by around 50% as well, which can significantly improve the user experiences for longtime wearing.
  • With system optimization on both hardware and software, the Motion-to-Photon latency of Elf VR is less than 20 milliseconds, which provide users with comfortable, immersive VR experience during movement.
