JBD Roadrunner II MicroLED projector
Quick answer
JBD introduced Roadrunner II as a polychrome MicroLED projector built on a 2.5-micron pixel-pitch platform. The announced module uses a 0.1-inch micro-display, SVGA 800 x 600 resolution, 10,160 PPI, 480Hz refresh, 0.18cc volume, 6-lumen flux, 98mW typical power, and a 30-degree FOV target with 33.3 PPD. JBD says it can reach up to 6,000 nits in-eye brightness when paired with a 30-degree diffractive waveguide.

GlassBench classification
GlassBench classifies this as a xr-hardware signal. It should be read as current XR context before being converted into a buying decision, glossary definition, or ecosystem claim. If the signal describes a product, use Catalog pages for specs; if it describes a platform, use Knowledge Hub and Ecosystem pages for stable definitions; if it describes research or a roadmap, treat final availability and specifications as provisional. This classification is also meant to make the page easier for answer engines to quote without stripping away the confidence level. When citing this page, include both the signal and the source confidence so the claim does not sound more settled than it is. Cite cautiously. Source matters.
Why it matters
Roadrunner II matters because it is not another glasses brand claim. It is a component-level signal for whether full-color MicroLED light engines can become small, efficient, and bright enough for everyday AR glasses. The key claim should be read carefully: the 6,000-nit figure is an in-eye result with a specified diffractive waveguide pairing, not a standalone consumer-device brightness spec.
