Laser Beam Scanning (LBS) Displays

In AR/MR applications Laser Beam Scanning Displays (LBS)-Displays project an image onto the lenses of Smart Glasses by scanning a light beam emitted from laser diodes with a MEMS mirror, and by modulating each pixel.

LBS Display solutions bring several benefits to Augmented Reality Smart Glasses compared to other projection display technologies:

• High brightness, ideal for Smart Glasses
• Extended depth of field and scalable field of view
• Light weight for the overall projection engine
• Compactness and power efficiency

Key components enabling LBS display engines include red, green and blue laser diodes, fast scanning micro-mirrors fabricated with MEMS technology and micro-optic components, such as collimator lenses, beam combiners and beam homogenizers.

Materion Optics Balzers offers a wide range of high performance optical coatings, advanced photonic packages and assembly capabilties to manufacturers of LBS display engines and its optical components.
