Holoeye: HOLOEYE Partners with Fraunhofer IPMS on Microdisplay

Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS), in collaboration with HOLOEYE Photonics AG, have developed a compact liquid crystal-on-silicon (LCOS) microdisplay with high refresh rates that enables improved optical modulation. LCOS microdisplays are characterized by their low power consumption, small size, and lightweight design. They're used in switchable adaptive optics, particularly as phase modulators, and as projection displays in augmented or virtual reality (AR/VR). Phase modulators, also known as spatial light modulators (SLMs), are used in biological imaging and microscopy, among other applications, for wavefront correction and beam shaping. The goal is to improve image resolution,...
