IL Science (307180) announced on the 19th that it has developed the “mass production technology of pinhole molding dispensing method” applied to “AR (augmented reality) smart glasses”.
The “optical system” using a pinhole has the advantage of being able to capture good images by allowing light to enter from a narrower angle as the size of the pinhole is reduced, so the light is better concentrated in a point of the image sensor.
An IL Science official said: “This new technology can be scaled to dozens of micro units, reducing the size of the pinhole and shaping it into various shapes.” the pinhole. “Although limitations existed, the ‘dispensing method mass production technology’ made it possible to form pinholes of up to 60-100 microunits at a time without any additional processing in the ‘optical system’.”
Meanwhile, one of the reasons why “AR (augmented reality) smart glasses” have not been seriously commercialized is because mass production of optical systems has been difficult. Since the existing optical system, “diffraction type”, is a method of processing glass wafers using a semiconductor process, there were limitations in its use in popularizing smart glasses to the general public. The company said: “By using silicone material, which has many advantages over glass or plastic, the size of the pinhole can be precisely adjusted and, through this, the transmittance can be maximized, making it possible to ensure a clear image “.
Market research firm Market & Market has predicted that the global VR/AR market size will increase from $37 billion (47 trillion won) last year to $114.5 billion (148 trillion won) in 2027. .
Song Seong-geun, CEO of IL Science, said: ‘We are expanding the silicone lens technology that has received NET certification for new technology into various industries and markets. “The ‘AR smart glass’ optical market is also an infinite market, and we will play our role as a representative optical solution company in the center of it,” he said “We will achieve greater commercial performance in the future market through pinhole tuning the mass production technology using silicon materials”.
