NOTE

Master the Challenge of Display Technology

The development of AR glasses involves overcoming significant engineering challenges, particularly in display technology, which is considered a scientific breakthrough. Unlike competitors that offer a fully enclosed mixed reality experience, these glasses maintain a balance by allowing real light in while integrating computer functions. The manufacturing process faces complications due to the choice of silicon carbide as a lens material, a substance not only utilized in high-tech applications like aerospace and automotive but also in everyday items like wedding rings. This unique material presents difficulties in achieving high yield rates, necessitating innovative solutions such as growing large silicon carbide crystals to meet production demands.
