TriLite, designer and manufacturer of what may be the industry’s smallest projection displays, showcased its Trixel 3 Cube at this year’s SPIE AR/VR/MR exhibition. According to its maker, the Trixel 3 Cube represents the next stage of miniaturized laser beam scanning (LBS) technology. It integrates driver electronics and an optimal power profile for all-day wearable augmented reality (AR) glasses. By removing the need for relay optics and reducing system volume, the Cube supports slimmer frames and hinge placements close to the lenses.
Primarily focusing on consumer AR, TriLite is detecting interest from the automotive sector, where LBS powers projection systems, window projections, and dynamic ground projection systems. The Cube is currently being qualified to meet automotive robustness and reliability requirements.
The company also claims the Cube offers advantages in power consumption, mass-manufacturing scalability, and overall application volume without image ghosting. According to TriLite’s technical documentation, LBS achieves high resolution, a typical power consumption of 145 mW, and eliminates bulky relay optics necessary for microLED-based designs.
