Samsung recently announced the acquisition of the American company eMagin, specializing in the manufacturing of micro-screens, used in particular for extended reality applications, or XR, a term encompassing virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR ), and mixed reality.
Samsung doesn't want to leave Apple alone...
The largest Oled screen manufacturer in the world, Samsung is preparing for market developments to, among other things, play a key role in AR and VR. Adding eMagin to Samsung Display is a sign that the Korean company takes these areas seriously, and does not want to be outdone by Apple, which made a strong impression with its first Vision Pro headset. It's not for nothing that Samsung recently revised its VR plans following the announcement of Apple's device.

Sculley, Chief Executive Officer of eMagin. Together, we will be able to realize the full potential of eMagin’s next-generation AR/VR solutions.”
