This presentation will introduce LetinAR’s latest developments in optimizing AR systems for seamless integration with artificial intelligence (AI). The focus is on enhancing visual performance and power efficiency to enable all-day use of intelligent, context-aware AI experiences. Novel design methodologies for plastic reflective waveguides are introduced, which improve optical efficiency and display quality. Strategies for incorporating AI processing capabilities into AR smartglasses without compromising compactness or battery life are also discussed. Experimental results demonstrate substantial improvements in visual clarity and energy consumption, highlighting the potential for practical, AI-driven AR applications in everyday use.

AR see-through applications challenge the display design as it is desired to provide digital layered
information on top of the see through view of the user, in the same way as a human vision. It is not
trivial to create displays as the native human vision in terms of field-of-view (FoV) size, and foveated
resolution distribution. A common practice is to use high-resolution, large arrays of display (e.g.,OLEDs, micro-LEDs, DLP, etc.) so that the resolution could meet the fovea native resolution, and the size of the display to meet the FOV requirement. However, such a practice is not optimal. The large
displays are costly and consume more power, as they need more light to provide sufficient brightness. An elegant solution for the foveated resolution was proposed previously, utilizing Laser-Beam-Scanning (LBS). In LBS displays present a paradigm shift in pixelization, as in LBS it is done by using timing and not fixed elements. LBS it time based display whereas standard displays are positioned based. That said, the agility and flexibility of pixel-wise scanning propose a smaller, cost-effective alternative to array-based displays. Maradin presents a novel LBS system that enables innovative content display capabilities to see-through AR displays. These capabilities surpass state-of-the-art display technologies and bring a new paradigm for utilizing LBS in high-end see-through devices.

Microdisplays” exhibit pixel densities of significantly more than 1000ppi at screen sizes of about 0.1..1.4". Therefore, they have become key components for assisted-, augmented-, virtual and mixed-reality (short: extended-reality “XR”) devices. Specifically, their use in wearables (e.g., Smart Glasses) or electronic viewfinders puts strong performance requirements on such components, due to limited space, weight and battery capacity, e.g., in spectacles’ frames. Particularly, "emissive" microdisplays, comprising light AND image source in a single component (e.g., OLED-on-silicon, or LED-on-silicon) are able provide very small footprint, and consume ultra-low power only for long battery life, while maintaining maximum pixel count for high-resolution screen content. This talk is to summarize recent microdisplay backplane IC design and frontplane light source as well as optics integration approaches and achievements towards future all-day wearable XR devices.

MicroLED technology has the potential to revolutionize augmented reality (AR) glasses by offering high-performance displays, but its success depends on aligning with the needs of AR developers and the markets they serve. In this talk, I will share insights from an AR system developer’s perspective, focusing on the role of MicroLED in various AR use cases across industries. We will discuss: Optical layouts and system architectures in AR glasses, Critical microdisplay requirements: resolution, brightness, efficiency, size, and power consumption, How MicroLED can be best implemented to address the unique challenges of AR systems,Key factors that MicroLED companies should consider to deliver added value for AR developers and differentiate themselves from alternative display technologies.By understanding the expectations and constraints of AR system development, MicroLED technology providers can better position their solutions to drive adoption, attract AR developers, and unlock opportunities across diverse markets, from consumer electronics to medical, defense, and industrial applications.

Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is a powerful technique for nano-structuring inorganic materials by patterning sol-gel liquid formulations and colloidal suspensions onto a surface. Originally inspired by embossing techniques, NIL was first developed for processing soft polymer materials, either as final functional components or as intermediate layers in fabrication processes. Over time, this method has been fully adapted to hard, inorganic materials with high dielectric constants, such as metal oxides (e.g. SiO2, TiO2). Thanks to the versatility of sol-gel chemistry, NIL enables the structuring of a broad range of chemical compositions, making it a highly flexible and precise fabrication method. Due to its capability to produce nano-scale patterns with excellent resolution and reproducibility, NIL has matured into a scalable, high-throughput technique with significant potential for industrial applications. In this work, we will first introduce the fundamental principles of sol-gel dip-coating and NIL, focusing on their application to metal oxides such as SiO₂, TiO₂, and ZrO₂. These materials offer the possibility of achieving high-refractive-index coatings, with values reaching up to 2.57 for dense TiO₂. We will then discuss some of our recent advancements in this field, including the fabrication of both ordered and disordered optical metasurfaces, structural coloration effects, and anti-reflection coatings designed for both flat and curved surfaces. Finally, we will demonstrate the scalability of NIL, showing that the method can be successfully extended to large-area substrates, including 200 mm wafers of silicon and glass. This capability allows for the production of both ordered and disordered nanopatterns with high fidelity and reproducibility, further establishing NIL as a key enabling technology for future advancements in structural colour, metalenses, AR, sensing and much more.

The company's PERCEPT technology, based on the Single Photon Active Event Sensor (SPAES), enables low-power, low-latency eye tracking and spatial awareness for intuitive human-device interaction. The patented SPAES architecture implements efficient 3D perception through a laser-beam scanner that generates and detects sparse optical signals with single-photon sensitivity. The system samples signal locations at up to 100e6 samples per second through a serialized triangulation system. Key features include robust ambient light compensation and immunity to optical interference. The technology supports both depth sensing and eye-tracking applications.

It’s one thing to build a marketing apparatus for an established technology like LCD that seeks new applications or marketing a brand-new material into well-established markets like TV. But it’s a different, yet more rewarding challenge to market a product that is not quite there into applications that aren’t shipping in mass production yet. This talk will address the marketing needs for MicroLED companies and how they might go about executing them – the areas to focus, more importantly how to manage the marketing effort frugally. The speaker has run marketing programs for dozens of companies in the display industry ranging from global brands with $1b revenue to pre-revenue startups and will share insights and examples for you to create your own successful campaigns.
