World’s smallest projection display
Last week Trilite has presented Trixel 3, the world’s smallest laser beam scanner at the SPIE Photonics West exhibition in San Francisco, California.
Trixel 3 is Trilite’s first laser beam scanner light engine based on Infineon’s 2D MEMS mirror, and is targeting augmented reality (AR) glasses. Together the two companies created the smallest projector system so far. The tiny module is the key component for AR smart glasses that offers a comfortable all-day wear. With no relay optics required, the overall module size is shrunk to a volume of less than a cubic centimeter with an ultralight weight of 1.5 gram.
Peter Weigand, CEO at Trilite, said: “We’re proud to present the first laser beam scanner demonstrator powered by Infineon’s unique 2D MEMS mirror. This is the first step in the collaboration between our companies focusing on a light engine with the very smallest form factor. We are very proud where we stand today and very excited about where our technology roadmaps are going to bring us soon.”
Infineon brings decades of experience in MEMS devices design and manufacturing into the augmented reality market with its 2D MEMS mirror. The powerful Trilite Calibration Module (TCM) software simplifies system integration, by providing real-time correction of lens errors, distortions, and color shifts (true tone).
