Light, Bright, Clear, Tiny - meeting consumer AR expectations
Bulky design, uncomfortable weight, low outdoor visibility, poor quality visuals – all have led so far to mass market AR glasses adoption being slow, and key consumer expectations have not yet been met. Satisfying the requirements of all-day wearable and daylight-bright consumer AR eyewear in terms of size, weight, brightness and image quality imposes significant engineering challenges for display solutions.
At TriLite, we are engineering for consumer acceptability - Light, Bright, Clear, and Tiny.
TriLite has developed the world’s smallest, lightest, and brightest laser beam scanner (LBS) that is designed for high-volume consumer AR applications to enable everyone to enjoy augmented vision as lightweight, comfortable, and stylish as the eyewear of today.

Laser Beam Scanning based light engines for AR glasses
Laser Beam Scanning (LBS) based light engines for AR glasses provide most advantageous features and characteristics to meet the extreme requirements for stylish AR glasses with respect to compactness, low power consumption, high brightness, high contrast, large field of view and low-cost mass manufacturing capability. The key component to enable this is a biaxial MEMS mirror chip that is hermetically vacuum packaged already on wafer level. A proprietary glass forming and opto-packaging technology enables MEMS mirror based laser scanning modules of extremely large field of view of up to 180 degree (1D) or more than 100 degree x 50 degree (2D). OQmented integrates these MEMS chips into most compact high performance light engines for monocular and binocular all-day wearable AR glasses.

High-resolution, ultra-low power OLED microdisplays for AR, VR, MR
Microdisplays have become essential for wearable AR/VR/MR devices. Emissive microdisplays, such as OLED or µLED, provide significant advantage in terms of form factor and power consumption, whereas OLED microdisplays are prominent in various professional and consumer near-to-eye visualization devices, assisted-reality wearables or electronic viewfinders already. The underlying OLED-on-Silicon technology has reached industry maturity, in particular for OLED microdisplays, yet embedded opto-electronic sensing features too. This presentation will report on latest achievements in high-resolution and ultra-low power OLED microdisplays and OLED-on-Silicon process technology.

Unlocking microLED display solutions for consumer AR glasses with DynamicPixelTuning™
Porotech is revolutionising microLED displays with its DynamicPixelTuning™ (DPT™) technology. Each individual DPT™ pixel is a single LED emitter with tuneable wavelength emission all the way from red to blue. There are no ‘RGB’ sub-pixels, no pixel stacking architectures, no filters and no colour conversion technologies involved – full colour is possible at the wafer level, with no complex manufacturing required and no need to mix different material systems. DPT™ has been enabled entirely on InGaN-based material through Porotech’s engineered porous GaN (PoroGaN®) platform technology, which is a simple, repeatable and fully scalable process. With key microLED microdisplay manufacturing barriers removed and new realms of display system design unlocked, Porotech is positioned to deliver the microLED display solutions which will meet the demands of consumer AR.

Laser Beam Scanning for Near-to-Eye Display Applications: Architectural, Optical, Photonic and Systems Considerations
One of the key challenges for augmented reality is the development of ultra-compact, lightweight, low-power near-to-eye display solutions with good image quality. Laser Beam Scanning (LBS) technologies that utilize advanced MEMS actuation technologies can meet these key requirements and deliver form-factors that enable light weight, fashionable, all-day wearable AR smart glasses with the ability to scale resolution and field-of-view (FoV) with low power consumption.
In this talk, we will discuss the key technologies and solutions, as well as the challenges, behind LBS that enable AR smart glasses, as well as more complex mixed reality HMD devices, including MEMS Micromirror scanners systems, laser diode modules, waveguides and overall LBS systems design considerations.

Challenges and opportunities for uLED microdisplay solutions for AR
Mixed-Reality, including Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), is expected to become the next-generation computing platform. Display is a critical component for enabling this vision. Satisfying the very demanding requirements of high brightness, full-colour, small form factor and low power consumption for AR remains a big challenge that has drawn significant investment. This presentation will address the challenges and opportunities in AR microdisplays, the main approaches used to realize full color and the manufacturing strategy for achieving scale. It will explain how Mojo’s Micro-LED platform uses proprietary high-performance QD to produce the industry’s leading solution for AR.
