Lightweight optics and user comfort are key for both augmented and virtual reality headsets – eliminating focal discomfort and lowering device weight provides a greater sense of immersion.
Our tunable LC lenses, built on optically ideal plastic (TAC) substrates, can actively adjust focus, bringing perceived and actual image depth together consistently, by compensating for focal differences between the virtual and the real.
At less than 100 microns thick and weighing a fraction of a gram, our lenses can be stacked for increased focal power, or combined with other flexible LC cells to provide additional features such as ambient dimming.
