AUGMENTED REALITY
Waveguide Technology
See-through, full-color waveguide displays for a wide range of AR devices. From near-eye to head-up.
Diffractive surface relief waveguides
Our core technology is founded on pioneering work in the design and fabrication of surface relief diffraction gratings on single-plate waveguides. Our technology platform spans from waveguide design and mastering to nanomanufacturing and metrology for mass production.
WAVEGUIDE DESIGN
Proprietary software
Dispelix uses self-developed, in-house software for designing waveguides. Our waveguide design software tools and team are globally unmatched.
Our algorithms simulate the behavior of the electromagnetic field in both grating structures and complete waveguides. We utilize both field-based and ray-optics algorithms to simulate both coherent and incoherent light.
From the simulated outgoing field, our design software computes the quantities that characterize the optical performance of a waveguide. The software has algorithms and features to optimize sophisticated waveguide designs. Our optimization capabilities include traditional optimization algorithms as well as artificial intelligence.
Optics simulation and optimization in a large design space require a lot of computing power. High-performance computing is essential in our work to execute simulations in a sufficiently short time.
Why it matters
Optimized experiences
Everything we do is driven by optimizing the complete user experience.
Unmatched design capability
Waveguide design is carried out using high-performance parallel, GPU and cloud computing methods.
Design for manufacturing
Our software transforms our designs into industry-standard formats for automated manufacturing.
WAVEGUIDE MANUFACTURING
Wafer fabrication
Dispelix develops, ramps up and scales mass manufacturing processes for waveguides based on its technology. As a fabless company, we work in close cooperation with our production partners.
The processes we develop and deliver are stable, wafer-based, and scalable for mass production volumes.
We systematically develop our manufacturing processes to meet the requirements of current and future product generations.
Why this matters
Stable
We verify our manufacturing processes during the development stage so that designed production processes meet quality expectations.
Scalable
We combine our own expertise with our carefully evaluated and selected manufacturing partners to ensure quality and scalability.
Evolving
We systematically develop our products and production technology with our partners to meet future customer needs and expectations.
WAVEGUIDE QUALITY
Quality in manufacturing
Dispelix’s processes are constantly optimized and developed with a single aim — to offer our customers the best waveguides possible. This relentless approach enables designs to be verified, manufacturing processes to be developed, and product quality to be controlled before delivery.
Our manufacturing processes are verified during development to ensure they are stable and capable, so that they will meet all the quality requirements. To fabricate best-in-class waveguides, both optical and dimensional quality parameters are thoroughly controlled. Our metrology team works together with our partners to ensure that the latest measurement technology is implemented on mass production lines.
Why it matters
Committed to Quality
Exceptional quality is born out of our pioneering attitude towards new technology. We know that without this firm commitment to quality, technology cannot cross the chasm to reach mainstream consumers.
Delivering Quality
Quality doesn’t just happen – it is created with leading quality methodologies. To help us break the boundaries of expectations, our team includes various colors of Lean Six Sigma belts.
Redefining quality
Quality leadership isn’t born in a vacuum, without the voice of the customer. We constantly work on defining metrics that reflect best the user experience and customer expectations.
A technological vision
Our lives are filled with complex interfaces – buttons, screens, gadgets, and peripherals. They blur our vision and distract us from our focus. Dispelix waveguide technology is designed to replace this complexity with simplicity.
