TLens® autofocus technology effectively replicates the human eye experience, while leveraging ultrafast 1 millisecond response time (up to 10 times faster than competing technologies), maintaining constant field of view during focused image capture of the environment, replicating what the user sees regardless of ambient light conditions.

AR/MR devices are used across a wide variety of environmental conditions and varying temperature ranges, and contain several heat-generating electronic components, issues which have a dramatic impact on image quality. With its proprietary solid polymer materials, TLens® can passively athermalise the camera modules when combined with the plastic lens stacks, enabling operations across broad temperature ranges while improving optical focusing and image quality. When tuned, TLens® can further enhance the camera image quality at extreme temperatures and depth of focus to better replicate the human eye.

TWedge® wobulation technology also resolves show-stopping tradeoffs due to increasing resolution while reducing the size and increasing the image brightness – issues currently challenging AR/MR micro display device development efforts. By angularly pixel shifting the RGB collimated light at the top of the microdisplay projectors, the compact form factor, ultra-low power consuming wobulator device helps resolve such tradeoffs by effectively enhancing resolution 4 times or more without impacting brightness or image quality.

“We continue to build our position in the AR/MR space, enabling our customers to deliver exceptional performance and addressing key design issues in autofocus cameras and micro displays,” said Dr. Øyvind Isaksen, CEO of poLight ASA. “We are excited to showcase our technology, customer devices, evaluation kits and support resources that accelerate the TLens® autofocus camera and TWedge® wobulator technology based microdisplay design process from proof-of-concept to mass production for our AR/MR head-worn device customers.”
