Microsoft has reportedly signed a development and supply contract with Samsung Display for Micro-OLED displays.

The move suggests Microsoft's renewed interest in its mixed reality business, potentially positioning the new devices as competitors to Apple's Vision Pro. The collaboration with Samsung could lead to the development of a new line of mixed reality headsets, reviving Microsoft's previous efforts in this sector.
