Recent News:

• Leading global semiconductor solutions developer OMNIVISION has unveiled the new OP03050, a low-power, small form factor liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) panel that combines the LCOS array, driving circuit, frame-buffer, and interface into a single chip, in January 2024. These solutions include advanced digital imaging, analog, and touch & display technology. The OP03050 offers a high-resolution, immersive experience for streaming and real-time video conferences when used with head-mounted displays and augmented reality (AR), extended reality (XR), and mixed reality (MR) glasses.
• WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc., a top global supplier of Hologram Augmented Reality ("AR") technology, revealed that it has created a liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) technological solution that will transform AR displays, in November 2023. The molecular arrangement of liquid crystals, which are optically sensitive materials, may be changed by an electric field. The use of liquid crystals as optical switches in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) allows for the control of pixel locations by modulating the electric field and the amount of light transmission.
• CompaHamamatsu Photonics has created the X15213-03CL, a revolutionary LCOS-SLM (Liquid Crystal On Silicon-Spatial Light Modulator) that has the largest power handling capacity in the world, capable of managing up to 700 W, in June 2023. Utilizing our own thermal design method, which improves heat dissipation performance, the firm achieved this. For laser beam machining of metal materials, the X15213-03CL is an optical component that permits unrestricted control over laser beam patterns.
• The world's top specialized foundry, GLOBALFOUNDRIES (GF), and Compound Photonics US Corporation, a pioneer in Augmented/Mixed Reality (AR/MR) microdisplay technologies, established a strategic alliance to produce CP's microdisplay technology platform, IntelliPix, in December 2021. IntelliPix makes it possible for consumers to enjoy a holographic augmented reality experience in real time by creating AR glasses that are lighter, more compact, and require fewer charges. For the first time, IntelliPix offers a real-time video pipeline in a single-chip solution, together with a fully integrated digital backplane and driver for pixels as tiny as 2.5µm.
