Jacob MacLeodI’m considering using a new tiny LED matrix screen that should be easier one the eyes. I have designed it on EasyEDA.com to print on JLCPCB.com, although there are a few issues my design. I’ll use their SMT assembly tool to have it come assembled, which starts at £5. The only problem is it will have 16 wires going to a shift register then to the raspberry pi (Or Arduino), so, it may not look great at first.
I also will not be able to make it transparent, but if I put it at the corner, it won’t obstruct your view too much, which also means I can use a simpler magnifying lens design

This only should be a project we all would love to see.
Had someone done it before, I'd be delighted to study the how 2.
And I could either use it on my HMD or scale it to a larger use.
Could I see what you did in Easyeda ?

I've added an image to the files section. It doesn't seem like it was a particularly useful display though, only a few pixels by a few pixels. The LEDs may not be smaller than pixels in any sort of screen, so it may not be able to be made to work. It was still an interesting thing to explore though, and maybe you or others could think of a way to improve on it!
