Miniaturiserede projektionsdisplays til AR og automotive applikationer
TriLite - en teknologiførende leverandør af LBS (Laser Beam Scanner) displayteknologi til AR og automotive applikationer - præsenterer Trixel 3 Cube, den seneste generation af projektionsdisplays (in english).
TriLite, a world leading provider of laser beam scanner (LBS) display technology for augmented reality (AR) and automotive applications, has announced the Trixel 3 Cube, the latest evolution of its ultra-compact projection display platform. The Cube marks the next level of miniaturization and system efficiency, combining TriLite’s proven optical architecture with an extremely reduced form factor and optimized power profile for seamless integration into AR eyewear and automotive display systems.
The Trixel 3 Cube is now available for ordering as an engineering sample, while TriLite qualifies its mass-production line to meet high-volume demand. The company expects first customer design-ins to begin in early 2026.
- The Trixel 3 Cube marks a defining step towards truly wearable AR devices. By shrinking size and simplifying integration, we’re enabling OEMs to design smart glasses that are as elegant and comfortable as everyday eyewear - without compromising resolution, brightness or efficiency. This is the point where high-performance projection finally becomes mass-market ready, says Mario Spiegl, CEO of TriLite.
Miniaturization meets integration
With a total volume of approximately 1 cm³ and a weight of just 1.5 g, the Cube integrates the MEMS driver electronics directly into the projection unit. The compact width of about 10 mm allows system layouts where hinges can be placed close to the lenses - a major benefit for designers of consumer AR glasses.
The refined optical design eliminates the need for relay optics while delivering up to 15 lumens brightness, true-black contrast of 500,000:1, a 214 % sRGB color gamut and a typical power consumption of around 145 mW. The result is a compact, energy-efficient display engine optimized for all-day wearable operation.
In addition to its applications in consumer AR, the Trixel 3 Cube is being qualified for automotive use, fulfilling high automotive quality requirements for robustness and reliability. The display engine supports Panoramic Head-up Displays (P-HUDs) and other advanced in-vehicle projection systems, enabling new user experiences while meeting stringent automotive standards.
Software-defined display architecture
TriLite has shifted many traditionally hardware-intensive tasks into the software domain, simplifying testing and calibration for OEMs and ensuring consistently high image quality. This 'software-defined display”'concept also provides flexibility for future optical configurations and helps reduce development time from prototype to series integration.
- With the Cube, we’ve condensed years of engineering progress into a one-cubic-centimeter display engine,” commented Dr. Jörg Reitterer, CTO of TriLite, and he continues:
- By moving system-level calibration and optimization steps into software, we give customers a highly flexible, robust solution that can be adapted quickly to different optical designs. This combination of compactness and configurability sets a new standard for AR and automotive displays.
Strong ecosystem and market momentum
TriLite’s LBS display technology continues to attract strong interest across both consumer and automotive sectors. The company reports that most partners who have seen live demonstrations requested evaluation samples, reflecting growing confidence in the maturity of LBS as a display solution. Feedback from those who experienced has included comments such as 'Best demo of the event'.
This growing confidence in laser beam scanning display solutions is also reflected across the broader AR ecosystem and industry leaders. TriLite will participate in a new Working Group on Laser Display for AR, sponsored by the AR Alliance and chaired by Meta, taking place during the upcoming Frontiers in Optics & Laser Science (FiO + LS) conference later this month.
The company will also present joint demonstrations for a variety of applications at CES in January. TriLite’s investor portfolio includes Aumovio, APEX Ventures, B&C Innovation Investments, and Hermann Hauser, underlining strong strategic and financial backing for its scale-up phase.
