Meta Ray-Ban Display
Meta Ray-Ban Display is a pair of AI glasses with a camera and an in-lens display from Meta with Ray-Ban. It starts at $799 in the United States (incl. Meta Neural Band). Meta sells or supports it in 6 countries. Meta Ray-Ban Display went on sale in September 2025.
Display is the only Meta frame on sale with a screen. A full-color monocular display sits in the right lens, about 20 degrees wide at 600x600 per press specs. Meta says it is placed off to the side and designed for short interactions. You use it to read messages, frame shots in a viewfinder, follow walking directions, see live captions and read Meta AI answers. Each pair includes the Meta Neural Band, a wristband that reads finger gestures. The trade-offs are weight, 69 g, and battery, six hours of mixed use. Pick it if reading text in your view matters to you. Our guide to the Display HUD explains what appears in the lens.
Good fit
People who want messages, directions and captions in view without taking out a phone, and who are fine wearing a wristband.
Look elsewhere if
Skip it if you have a strong or progressive prescription, or mainly want photos and audio; Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 is lighter and lasts longer. See Display vs Gen 2.

- Meta excludes Display from conversation focus and Early Access Autocapture.
- Display brightness, resolution and field-of-view figures come from press; Meta's newsroom did not publish them.
- Walking directions on the display are limited to listed cities in several countries. See display navigation.
- The display sits in one eye, the right lens, so text is not shown to both eyes.
