Apple has Won a Patent for 8K Foveated Displays for a Future Mixed Reality Headset
Earlier this month Patently Apple posted a report titled Rumor on Apple s Future Mixed Reality Headset from The Information sheds little light. The Information s report pointed to Apple s future Mixed Reality Headset providing 8K displays which we had said was first established by patents. Today the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially granted Apple a patent that relates to Apple s 8K foveated displays for a future headset.
Patently Apple was first to discover two European patent filings from Apple on the topic of 8K foveated displays for use in Apple s future headset. Our first report on this was published in February 2018 titled A Euro Patent Reveals Apple is working on an 8K Foveated Micro-Display for a Head-up Display, iDevice and beyond. We posted a second report on foveated displays in March 2018 and finally a third based on a U.S. patent application in August 2018. T
