Raydium's 0.18cc Full - Color Micro - LED Optical Engine: Redefining AI AR

In 2025, the global tech industry is captivated by a "glasses revolution." AI glasses are rapidly evolving from concept products to the top contenders for the next - generation computing platform, driven by the "Battle of a Hundred Glasses" at CES and the entry of giants like Meta and Xiaomi. To meet the demand for lighter devices, Raydium has launched the PowerMatch®️ 1 full - color Micro - LED optical engine, with a volume of just 0.18cc, accelerating the lightweight revolution in AR glasses.

Ultra - Compact Size for Lightweight AR Glasses

Micro - LED is seen as the ultimate solution for AR displays. Current full - color optical engines on the market use a tricolor combining scheme, with a volume of about 0.4cc. Raydium's PowerMatch®️ 1, at 0.18cc (45% the size of the tricolor scheme) and weighing only 0.5g, can be seamlessly embedded in temples, making AR glasses lighter and more comfortable for extended use, and opening up new design possibilities.

Full - Color Display for a New AI + AR Dimension

AI enables devices to "think," while AR display technology determines their "expression." Full - color Micro - LED technology offers vibrant visuals, enhancing the natural fusion of virtual images with the real world, which is crucial for user experience, especially in entertainment and social applications.

Raydium's quantum - dot lithography technology combines high - efficiency quantum dots with high - resolution lithography, enabling precise sub - pixel definition using standard semiconductor processes. The PowerMatch®️ 1 series delivers excellent color performance with a wide color gamut (108.5% DCI - P3) and high color purity, producing detailed images. Despite low power consumption, it achieves significant brightness improvements, with micro - display brightness reaching 500,000 nits (white balance), providing 0.5lm flux output. This new technology also holds great potential for future performance upgrades, offering more possibilities for AR glasses to overcome scene limitations.

Technological Breakthroughs and Industry Impact

Raydium's innovation addresses current AR glasses' size and display effectiveness bottlenecks, expanding future AI + AR applications. Integrating the full - color Micro - LED optical engine into AR glasses enables more immersive experiences, with virtual and real - world elements blending naturally. This enhances entertainment and social user experiences and broadens applications in education, healthcare, and industry.

Future Outlook

Raydium has already sent samples to downstream clients and started prototyping collaborations. As AI and Micro - LED display technologies converge, AR glasses will offer smarter interactions and redefine human cognition. Looking ahead, Raydium will keep innovating to provide top - notch, industry - viable micro - display solutions. As Dr. Zhuang Yongzhang noted, "We're not just making display chips but building a 'translator' between the virtual and real worlds." Raydium aims to push AR glasses from concept to mass market, ushering in a new intelligent interaction era.
