The optical components produced by Sun Optics can be widely applied in the visual technologies that people use in their daily lives. Visual technology has begun to play an important role in many industries. Nowadays, they have become truly future-oriented new technologies.

AR/MR/VR

AR‌—Augmented Reality: by superimposing virtual information onto the real world, users can see virtual information and content in the real environment.

VR—Vitual Reality: creates and experiences virtual worlds, making users feel as if they were in a completely computer-generated environment.

MR—Mix reality: combines the features of VR and AR by fusing virtual objects with the real world in real time through a head-mounted device, allowing users to interact with virtual content while observing its impact in the real world.

Through this visual technology, users can immerse themselves in a three-dimensional environment and thus have a richer interactive experience. AR/VR/MR optical products designed to minimize chromatic aberration and ensure consistent exit pupil to get a clear visual effect. They take into account the characteristics of the human eye and often combine eye-tracking technology to enhance the user experience and maintain precise visual alignment.

Projector

In recent years, projection display technology has developed rapidly. Commercial projectors represented by liquid crystal display (LCD) projection, digital light processing (DLP) projection and silicon-based liquid crystal (LCOS) projection have emerged and have been widely applied in fields such as education, business, industrial and mining enterprises, military and households. Projection display technology involves multiple technical fields, including microelectronics, electronic circuits, optics, precision mechanics, etc. Among them, optical technology plays an extremely important role in improving the main performance indicators of projectors such as brightness, contrast, and color.

Liquid Crystal Display

Liquid crystal screens have multiple functions in electronic products, mainly including displaying images, multimedia information and providing interactive functions. Liquid crystal screens display images and multimedia content through liquid crystal technology and are widely used in mobile phones, televisions, calculators, computers and other devices.

So why are optical components and visual display technologies important?

Optical components will directly affect the immersive experience of AR/VR/MR Devices. If the problem of visual convergence and accommodation causes God rays, rainbow effects or dizziness and headache, it will bring a very bad experience to users. In the future, the development and evolution of optical components in AR/VR/MR Devices will drive the improvement of these issues. Displays are also key components in AR/VR/MR Devices, and they are responsible for creating the images to be presented to users. Different types of display technologies each have their own advantages, such as better brightness or better color gamut. For different applications, different advantages can be utilized. For instance, applications under outdoor sunlight usually require the display of AR devices to have high brightness so that users can clearly see the images.

In projectors and displays, the main factor determining optical performance is the optical engine. In an optical engine, apart from devices such as illumination lenses and imaging lenses, optical thin-film elements are also very important parts, including infrared and ultraviolet filters, dichroic mirrors, modifying filters, polarizing prisms and mirrors, etc.

No matter what type of display you have, we are willing to work with you to provide the necessary optical design and components to bring the best experience to your audience. Let us help you break through boundaries and lead the future.
