UNLOCKING THE NEXT CONSUMER ELECTRONICS REVOLUTION
This is the first time WaveOptics have selected a uLED panel for their light engines. Dr. Qiming Li, CEO & founder of JBD says “We are delighted to be a partner in the launch of Leopard which is a truly innovative optical hardware platform enabling light weight and outdoor readable AR wearables designs”.
IDEALLY DESIGNED FOR SIMPLE ALERTS AND MESSAGING
This unique combination allows user experience testing of green only, monocular smart glasses, suitable for notification-based use cases.

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.”
