Rokid launched a new crowdfunding campaign (which already passed $700,000 with 1,200+ supporters) for its latest AR headset, the Rokid Glasses. The new AR device utilizes dual Jade Bird Display's monochrome (green) microLED microdisplays, likely its 0.13" VGA ones.
The 49 grams Rokid Glasses is powered by Qualcomm's AR1, NXP's RT600 and it offers 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. There's a 12MP camera, and it supports live translation and ChatGPT5. Rokid says it will start shipping the glasses in November 2025.
JBD has recently completed its Series B1 financing round. In 2023 JBD announced that its $92 million production line in Hefei is starting production. The production line's total capacity is 120 million 0.13" panels, but it hasn't yet reached its full capacity.
JBD is the first company that has been mass producing microLED microdisplays. The company reported several design wins, including with Xiaomi, TCL, Alibaba, Vuzix and likely Meta for its Orion glasses. In 2023, JBD started shipping engineering samples of single-panel RGB microLED microdisplays, branding these as the Phoenix series, while its monochrome panels are now branded as Hummingbird. The Phoenix series is designed to be used with 50+ degree FOV waveguides.
