Toward Enhanced AR Manufacturing using Nanoimprint Lithography
This event occurred in the past. Click here to view.
Wafer-level nanoimprint lithography (NIL) has increasingly become a key enabling technology to support new devices and applications across the photonic industry. Leading manufacturers of augmented reality devices, optical sensors and biomedical chips are already utilizing NIL and benefitting from the flexibility and efficiency of this technology. In particular, UV-NIL is capable to replicate most complex micro- and nano-scale structures without compromising the mass manufacturability. Together with the recent advances in the supply chain for high index resists and substrates the capabilities of this technology are emerging rapidly. As presented in this work, UV-NIL gives nowadays very large degree of freedom for best optical design and according performance.

Photopolymer Film Technology: Key Enabler for Augmented Reality Displays
This event occurred in the past. Click here to view.
Covestro developed a photopolymer film technology platform called Bayfol® HX to realize holographic optical elements light guiding and light management. Moritz will talk about the unique optical and mechanical characteristics which make them perfectly suitable for use in augmented reality such as Head-up-Displays (HUD) and Head-mounted-Displays (HMD) as free space combiner as well as in plastic waveguides and in transparent screens. As a film product, the replication of volume holographic optical elements can be carried out in highly cost-efficient roll to roll processes.
