Is There Really “No Moore’s Law for Optics”?

by Bob Raikes

I’m going to start today’s Display Daily, but getting out, up-front, that I am no expert in optics. However, the topic has been getting more and more interesting recently and because of the critical …

Pitted Metalens is More Robust

by Bob Raikes

What They Say Up to now, most metalens architectures have been based on building raised pillars to create nanosurfaces that can influence light to create metalenses. Now Optics.org reports that a group at Harvard …

Compressing Optical Space Again

by Bob Raikes

What They Say We reported yesterday on new spaceplates which can compress optical paths by reducing the space needed between lenses. (Ottawa researchers develop ‘barrel-eliminating’ optical element) What We Think It was only after …

Halide Perovskite Metasurface to aid AR and optoelectronic devices

by Bob Raikes

What They Say Scientists at the ITMO University in Russia have developed an approach based on perovskites that exploit the concept of metasurfaces (Developments in Metasurface Technology May Enable Ultra-Thin Lenses) to potentially create …

Developments in Metasurface Technology May Enable Ultra-Thin Lenses

by Arthur Berman

Conventional optical components typically derive light manipulating capabilities from their shape and/or material composition. On the other hand, there are optical components that can manipulate light based on an entirely different approach. This approach …

New Technologies for 3D and More

by Matthew Brennesholtz

Two new technologies caught my eye recently, both related to 3D or 3D-like imaging. Both technologies are in the academic research stage, so don’t expect either one to have an impact on the display …

A Novel Means of Wireless Charging is Under Development

by Arthur Berman

Consumers would clearly appreciate a better means to charge mobile electronic devices. Current technologies, such as charging pads and cables, are inconvenient and restrict device mobility. This issue is being addresses by a research …
