Researchers at Westlake University Launch Game-Changing SiC AR Glasses
The SiC AR glasses boast a theoretical field of view (FOV) up to 80 degrees for single layer full-color display, surpassing the 40-degree limit of traditional high-refractive-index glass solutions. This expanded FOV promises a more immersive user experience for both entertainment and professional applications.HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Westlake University 's spin-off company Moldnano released the world's first silicon carbide (SiC) AR glasses on Tuesday, potentially reshaping the landscape of augmented reality technology just days before Meta's anticipated Orion AR glasses reveal.
2024年9月24日中國杭州，西湖大學（Westlake University）的分拆公司Moldnano於週二發佈了世界上首款碳化硅（SiC）增強現實（AR）眼鏡，可能在Meta的預期Orion AR眼鏡發佈前幾天重新塑造增強現實技術的格局。
The SiC AR glasses, with a single waveguide weighing only 2.7 grams and having a thickness of 0.55 millimeters, offer a remarkably lightweight and thin profile compared to traditional AR glasses. This breakthrough is achieved through the use of silicon carbide (SiC) material, which boasts an ultra-high refractive index, high thermal conductivity and low density.
這款SiC AR眼鏡只有一個波導，重量僅爲2.7克，厚度爲0.55毫米，與傳統AR眼鏡相比提供了非常輕薄的外觀。這一突破是通過使用碳化硅（SiC）材料實現的，該材料具有超高折射率、高導熱性和低密度。
Min Qiu, chief scientist at Moldnano and chair professor at Westlake University, demonstrated the glasses, highlighting their ability to provide full-color display using a single waveguide layer. Conventional AR glasses require multiple layers of high-refractive-index glass and cover glasses, resulting in bulkier designs.
Moldnano首席科學家、西湖大學教授裘敏展示了這款眼鏡，並強調了它們通過單個波導層實現全綵顯示的能力。傳統AR眼鏡需要多層高折射率玻璃和蓋玻璃，從而導致設計更加笨重。
The SiC AR glasses boast a theoretical field of view (FOV) up to 80 degrees for single layer full-color display, surpassing the 40-degree limit of traditional high-refractive-index glass solutions. This expanded FOV promises a more immersive user experience for both entertainment and professional applications.
這款SiC AR眼鏡在單層全綵顯示下擁有高達80度的理論視場（FOV），超過了傳統高折射率玻璃解決方案的40度限制。擴展的視場承諾爲娛樂和專業應用提供更具沉浸感的用戶體驗。
Moldnano's researchers have also addressed the common "rainbow artifacts" issue in AR glasses through precise waveguide structure design. The company claims to have completely eliminated this distracting visual artifact, providing users with a cleaner display.
Moldnano的研究人員還通過精確波導結構設計解決了AR眼鏡常見的「彩虹僞影」問題。該公司聲稱已經完全消除了這種分散注意力的視覺僞影，爲用戶提供更清晰的顯示效果。
Heat management, a persistent challenge in AR glasses, is tackled through an innovative approach that utilizes the lens itself for heat dissipation. This design allows for full-color, long-term display without overheating concerns, a significant improvement over traditional cooling methods.
AR眼鏡中持續存在的熱管理挑戰通過一種創新方法得到解決，該方法利用鏡片本身進行散熱。這種設計允許進行全綵、長時間顯示而無需擔心過熱問題，相較傳統冷卻方法有了顯著改進。
The development represents a milestone in micro-nano optics and fills a gap in China's AR industry chain. As Meta prepares to release its Orion AR glasses, Moldnano's announcement intensifies the competition in the rapidly evolving AR hardware market.
這一進展代表着微納光學領域的一個里程碑，並填補了中國AR產業鏈中的空白。隨着Meta準備發佈其Orion AR眼鏡，Moldnano的公告加劇了快速發展的AR硬件市場中的競爭。
Industry experts suggest that such advancements could accelerate the integration of AR technology into daily life, with potential applications spanning the education, healthcare, entertainment, and industrial sectors.
行業專家建議這些進展可能加速AR技術融入日常生活，潛在應用領域涵蓋教育、醫療、娛樂和工業等。
