Products Overview

HOYA’s optical glass material and advanced tailor-made polish know-how is considered of hugely contributing to the following top three key functions of diffractive-grating-based waveguide:
①Big FOV; ②High brightness; ③Accurate light transfer

Big FOV

With outstanding high refractive index, various of HOYA’s optical glass makes bigger FOV waveguide design much easier and more flexible.

High brightness

With high internal transmittance, HOYA’s optical glass contributes to less energy loss during lights (blue/green/red) travel through the waveguide, which leads to high brightness performance. As one general tradeoff of high refractive index material, the internal transmittance for blue (i.e. less than 500nm wavelength range) would be getting poorly lower, however, high internal transmittance even over blue range is HOYA AR/MR product’s outstanding feature.

Accurate light transfer

With HOYA’s advanced polish know-how, all wafer products delivered by HOYA could reach high surface quality, perfect TTV and excellent parallelism, which is considered as “must” key specifications for waveguide.

Good homogeneity & high internal quality

Melting processes for HOYA’s worldwide famous optical glass is also applied for producing high refractive index optical material for AR/MR industry, which makes HOYA’s high refractive index products optical glass to reach highest quality on optical glass level, with extremely high homogeneity and internal quality.
