microdisplay
Miniature visual panel
A microdisplay is a very small screen, typically under two inches diagonally, used in devices where the image is magnified or projected.
They appear in head-mounted displays, virtual reality headsets, camera viewfinders, and compact projectors.
The technology packs high resolution into a tiny area: The VR headset uses dual microdisplays for each eye.
