Extremely thin and light! Goertek launches new generation of miniaturized high-performance AR display module

Introduction: Recently, Goertek has released a new generation of ultra-thin and high-performance AR display modules. The optical machine has a volume of less than 1cc and a weight of only 1.6g. This is currently the smallest and lightest full-color display optical machine in the industry. The module will help brand manufacturers create consumer-grade AR glasses that are portable, fashionable and have outstanding visual effects.

In recent years, with breakthroughs in chip manufacturing processes and optical technology, AR glasses have significantly improved in terms of display effect, portability, and functions. Breakthroughs in AIGC technology have also brought richer combinations of AR glasses and artificial intelligence technology. Scenario application. According to relevant data, global AR glasses shipments in 2022 will be 270,000, of which consumer-grade AR glasses account for 170,000, surpassing enterprise-grade glasses for the first time. Starting in 2022, many mainstream AR manufacturers have launched consumer-grade AR glasses, and making AR glasses lighter and thinner is a well-known goal.

Relying on its profound accumulation in the field of optical display, Goertek recently launched a new generation of single-layer lens full-color AR diffraction light waveguide display module. Its optical-mechanical volume is less than 1cc and its weight is as low as 1.6g. Single-layer diffraction light The thickness of the waveguide lens is only 0.7mm, the FOV is 28°, and the eye brightness can be as high as 700nits under the premise of low power consumption. On the basis of extreme thinness and lightness, it achieves excellent display effects and can meet AR scenarios such as AR navigation, audio and video entertainment, and interactive collaboration. application.

This module optical engine is developed based on LCoS technology, adopts a folded polarization optical architecture, and has single-channel and multi-channel solutions. It is currently the smallest and lightest full-color display optical engine module in the industry. Its core The devices are all independently developed by Goertek Optics. At the same time, the module is equipped with Goertek's single-layer full-color diffraction light waveguide lens, which can optically control more than 100 different grating areas. It can also meet customers' differentiated appearance customization needs and mass production services to adapt to different needs. Shape of AR glasses.

In addition, Goertek Optical also released a mass-produced Micro LED single green diffraction light waveguide display module with an FOV of 30° and an eye-level brightness higher than 1500nits. It is equipped with a self-developed miniaturized optical engine ( Volume 0.3cc) and diffractive light waveguide lenses can better meet the needs of information prompt application scenarios such as AR navigation and prompt translation.

Since its establishment in 2012, Goertek has continued to devote itself to the research, development and production of optical display technologies such as VR&AR and micro-projection. In 2020, it took the lead in building the world's first 12-inch wafer nano-imprinted diffractive optical waveguide automated mass production line. Established a diffractive optical waveguide simulation optimization platform, focused on the independent development of diffractive optical waveguides, and successfully developed AR optical-mechanical products based on DLP, LCoS and other technologies. With the continuous miniaturization and high-precision requirements of AR products, Goertek Optics has gradually built and improved its own pilot line, upgraded and developed automatic assembly and testing equipment, which can meet the needs of Micro LED, LCoS, DLP, diffractive optical waveguide, BirdBath, free-form surface, etc. R&D and manufacturing of different AR optical products. Relying on Goertek's solid accumulation in the field of manufacturing for more than 20 years, Goertek has built a highly automated optical production line and has one-stop capabilities from optical R&D, manufacturing to testing, providing customized optical solutions to various terminal manufacturers. .

According to IDC, global AR device shipments will reach 360,000 units in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 71.43%. AR devices are expected to maintain a compound annual growth rate of 102% by 2026. In the future, Goertek Optics will further strengthen investment in product research and development and mass production, provide customers with high-performance and high-value optical solutions and products, promote iterative upgrades of AR products, and provide users with a beautiful and immersive AR visual experience.
