The Short Version
Samsung demoed a 20,000-nit eMagin microdisplay at Display Week in a fixed rig, pitching the screen component to device makers rather than previewing wearable AR glasses.
Samsung's eMagin unit showed off a 20,000-nit microdisplay, which is a screen so bright it can fight direct sunlight, at Display Week. The demo rig was bolted to a table. Nobody wore it. That one detail tells you everything: Samsung was selling the screen to other device makers, not showing the world that AR glasses are almost ready. A bright display is one piece of a much harder puzzle, and right now Samsung has the piece, not the puzzle.
