| [* black] The Virtual Boy Display! | |
| [* black] Each "image" produced by the display is merely a row of red dots. Used in conjunction with an oscillating mirror, a full image is produced. | |
| [* black] Because the entire onscreen image is produced by this single row of LEDs, the refresh rate is incredibly high. Each scanline ("image") is displayed for only 0.000052 seconds! | |
| + | [* black] LCDs were considered as an option for the display, however they could not refresh fast enough and caused blurry images. LEDs became the option of choice as they could refresh fast enough and were bright enough to create a steady, bright image. |
| + | [* black] The developers looked into using multiple colors in the display, but they were limited by price. Red LED's were chosen because they were the cheapest, most efficient, and most visible LEDs. |
