Liquid Crystal Display

A liquid crystal display or LCD is a display medium which offers high luminescence, relatively cheap manufacture, and is lightweight enough to be slotted like the lenses of glasses, into HMD units that weigh less than a dozen grams. This helps to eliminate the bulk problems with wearable interface devices and full immersion systems.

Large Image Display: The Stepford Wives: Blending Displays with Drapes
There are several potential ways this display is working. One of the simplest and most plausible is a colour e-paper display behind a completely transparent display medium.

Simple, elegant, and still far beyond us.
