Japan Display Inc. announced that it developed a VR head-mounted display, VR HMD (JDI product name: VRM-100), with an LCD panel developed exclusively for Virtual Reality.
Current VRHMD products are broken down into high-end products for games, with high definition display loaded with various sensors and controllers, and products that are reasonably priced, sacrificing display functionality.
JDI plans on accepting reservations beginning Dec. 3, 2018, with the product scheduled to start shipping out in the middle of December.

JDI has begun to develop and sell VRHMD, specializing in display quality.
With VRM-100, the VR monitor unit, with high definition LCD panel and a gyro sensor, using VR goggles, allows people to view high definition VR movies. The attached VR goggles are made so they are detachable.
JDI focused on being able to view high definition VR movies, getting rid of the external head tracking sensors and controllers, mounted on VRHMD'S, for normal PC’s.
JDI had only been focusing on the development, manufacturing and sales of VR dedicated LCD displays before expanding into the VRHMD realm.
