JBD shares the mission to design technology that is suitable for customization and mass manufacture.
WORKING IN PERFECT SYNC TO DELIVER THE NEXT GENERATION OF AR DEVICES
Dr Qiming Li goes on to say “It is critical that the see-through optics and microdisplay for AR wearables is considered for compatibility at the very inception of design rather than in isolation. Our MicroLED microdisplays and Waveoptics’s Katana waveguide work in perfect sync to deliver the next generation AR wearable devices and we will continue working with Waveoptics in future developments to fuel further innovations.”
