KUNYU Optronics AR Diffractive Optical Waveguide Family
KunYou Photonics has been developing AR diffractive optical waveguide products since 2016, and has accumulated profound experience in the design, process, and mass production of diffractive optical waveguide.At the 2019 Optical Expo, KunYou Photonics, together with SCHOTT of Germany, officially released KunYou Photonics' first mass-produced AR Diffractive Optical Waveguide - Easy I Generation at the venue, which triggered the attention of the market.
Over the past 5 years, KUNYO's AR diffractive waveguide product family has been expanding and enriching. Incorporating KunYou's years of experience in international and domestic customer projects, the company has launched four basic mass production products, namely "QiuShui", "Easy", "Dream Butterfly" and "FuYao", to the market. The company has launched four basic mass-production product series: "Qiushui", "Easy", "Dream Butterfly" and "Fuyao", which focus on different application scenarios, cover different customer needs, and are cross-customized according to specific requirements under the four product series. Up to now, there are more than ten products equipped with KunYou waveguide in the world. In order to explore the innovative application of AR diffraction waveguide in the consumer market, KunYou Optronics has maintained continuous and in-depth cooperation with international and domestic famous Internet companies and well-known terminal companies on the one hand, and on the other hand, KunYou has also deepened the cooperation and joint research and development with outstanding Chinese XR innovative enterprises such as Meizu, Rokid, Shadow Eye, Thunderbird, OPPO, etc., and has continuously launched a series of industry-influential "China Intelligent Manufacturing":
Launched a new high-performance monolithic full-color etched optical waveguide series-opposite
At the beginning of the New Year 2024, KunYou Optronics officially launched the high-performance monolithic full-color etched optical waveguide series-opposite to the market as promised.
The opposable series:
Opposite series is built based on KunYou's own closed-loop photolithography-etching IDM platform, incorporating KunYou's latest design and process, using new inorganic material optical wafer direct single-chip full-etching completed, in the thin and light at the same time, reached a high efficiency of 900nits / lm (30 degrees field of view), with a little more than 2lm of ordinary optical machine, can realize more than 2000nits of image brightness, meet the It can realize more than 2000nits of image brightness with a little more than 2lm ordinary optical unit, which can satisfy the requirements of all-weather use in indoor and outdoor scenes and bring the whole machine with ultra-long life. On this basis, relying on its own design process and closed-loop production, KunYou will continue to improve its performance through high-speed iteration, and is expected to reach the ultra-high efficiency of 1,500nits/lm in Q3 2024. In addition to the core optical performance that the industry is concerned about, KunYou has also made breakthroughs in higher-order AR characteristics, and the parameters are extremely competitive. Take the anti-environmental interference characteristics as an example, on the rainbow stripe problem that plagues traditional diffractive waveguides, it has realized "zero" rainbow in 120-degree field-of-view angle, and the peripheral field-of-view is suppressed by 100 times. Meanwhile, in terms of process stability, Oppo Ning has demonstrated its stable and reliable performance in continuous small batch validation, and has completed the initial mass production validation, and will start selling to the public in Q2, 2024.
With the launch of opposites, KunYou Optronics has completed the five product series of "QiuShui", "Easy", "MengDie", "FuShuo" and "Opposites". The five product series of "opposing". Each of the five series has its own specialization and focus, and meets the diversified needs of customers through a variety of processes and materials. In terms of appearance, KunYou can provide various IDs such as side-projection, top-projection, etc., and personalize the appearance according to customers' requirements; in terms of material, KunYou provides two basic materials, namely glass and resin, and at the same time, we can provide a variety of characteristic materials and composites according to the optical requirements of customers; in terms of lightness and thinness, KunYou provides a wide range of choices such as single-piece full-color, double-piece full-color, and multi-composite high-performance, etc.; in terms of process, KunYou has a variety of processes and materials to meet the diversified needs of customers. In terms of process route, KunYou has its own IDM closed-loop platform for mass production with different process routes and process combinations such as nanoimprinting, photolithography, etching, etc., to provide customers with customized solutions based on customers' performance requirements, ID requirements and cost requirements:
Joining hands with Carl Zeiss Tooz at SPIE Photonics West, USA
SPIE Photonics West was held from January 27 to February 1, 2024 in San Francisco, USA. KunYou Optronics and Carl Zeiss Tooz jointly participated in the event. In addition to showcasing KunYou's latest product iterations and technological advancements, the exhibition focused on the launch of their collaborative Fusion Vision Correction AR solution.
As we all know, myopia, astigmatism and other refractive problems are important issues for the popularization of AR glasses for C-end. AR near-eye display introduces a series of challenges such as vision correction, prolonged eye fatigue, convergence problems, and so on, because of the need to take into account both reality and reality at the same time, and the refractive problems of the human eye that vary from person to person.
At Photonics West, KunYou and Zeiss jointly introduced Planar Diffractive Waveguide with Push-Pull Vision Correction program. The solution seamlessly encapsulates the customized Push-Pull structure and the matching diffractive waveguide through a specific development process, forming an integrated, highly customized solution that is tailored to the needs of each individual. It effectively solves the challenges of vision correction, prolonged human eye fatigue, and convergence problems, making AR glasses an important step further towards C-suite popularization. The successful cooperation with Carl Zeiss Tooz also marks an important step for KunYou to start gradually moving into the international C-end market!
