Sign up to download the white paper. Metalenses have the potential to replace conventional refractive optical elements, but they have been hindered by angular optical
A year ago, only a few microLED companies were looking at the optical interconnect opportunity. Today, nearly all have some activity in this area. While
The technical case for laser-based AR display is not speculative. Higher efficiency, greater compactness, higher achievable brightness, wider color gamut, and for holographic architectures, fundamental
Inlighten has recently emerged from stealth mode and had a booth at Display Week. On display were GaN-based red, green and blue microLED devices along
Polar Light Technologies is a spin out from Linkoping University in Sweden. They are developing bottom up nanoLEDs in a pyramidal shape. In their process,
Like Aledia, NS Nanotech is developing nanowires. CEO Seth Coe-Sullivan noted that being able to grow red, green and blue nanowires in a single epitaxy
Aledia is the best funded company (200M Euro) developing 3D nanowire or nanoLEDs with a new 8-inch GaN-on-Silicon fab operational since September 2025 in France.
Hexagem is a company that has its roots in Lund University and IP developed for a company called Glo. Nanosys acquired Glo in 2021 and
PlayNitride says they have a strong focus on developing microLED displays for the AR glasses market. At Display Week, they showed a 0.18-inch full-color panel
Hongshi Intelligent Tech used Display Week 2026 to launch their new full-color microLED panel called Silk-Light. They use an 8-inch mass production line located in
Raysolve Optoelectronics was spun out of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) is developing monolithic microLED displays. Their approach to full color
Innovision showed off three different microLED device ranges along with their associated projection engine modules at Display Week 2026. The Chimo M13 is a 0.13-inch
In a keynote address in the SID Display Week Business Conference, Meta VP Jason Hartlove laid out the goal the AR Glasses industry should strive
At Display Week 2026, Insight Media’s Chris Chinnock caught up with John from Myrias Optics on the show floor—before the doors officially opened and the
With an expected surge in AR glasses coming in 2026, system integrators are actively sourcing waveguides. While reflective geometric and polymer-core waveguides are an option
Insight Media’s Chris Chinnock talks with Epsilon Photon’s CEO Ashutosh Patri about many aspects of metaoptics design, utility, fabrication, challenges and opportunities. Q: Hi Ashutosh.
Modern camera systems use square or rectangular image sensors but round optics. This form factor mismatch means these conventional optics need to be larger than
Metasurface structures can create flat optical elements that can bend light, change its polarization, create color filters, or enable holographic images. These metasurface feature are
Two companies caught my eye at CES with their metalens offerings: MetaOptics and Kyocera. MetaOptics is a Singapore-based company that uses a laser writing techniques
