    I have no idea but I think anything that emit light would drain the battery to quickly.

    I would imagine it would more like a e-paper screen.

      Light intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. A light that’s only a few microns away from your cornea would look incredibly bright even with minimal power.
