Retissa Display, a QD laser, is the next-generation eyewear device that delivers clear images in such a science fiction method with a laser directly with a laser.It is a product that makes you feel the future of technology.
The retinal scanning technology adopted by Retissa Display is named Visirium Technology.
A coined word that embodies the words such as "visuals" and "vision", such as "planetarium" and "aquarium", and embodies the image of "glittering light in the eyes."When I released a prototype at a CES held in Las Vegas in January 2018, I witnessed it and interviewed it on the spot.This time, I was able to ask QD Laser directly about detailed technology and market prospects.
From July, it is planning to sell the ASCII Store and other general public.
* Details of sales and reservation methods will be described at a later date, ASCII.We will announce it at JP and ASCII Store.
I've heard about Asakura retinal display technology for a long time.How new technology is it?
Teshima This method itself has been studied since the 1980s.In the past, Brother Kogyo has been trying to commercialize it in the past.
Asakura is the world's first.
I think it is appropriate to think of Teshima's first "commercialization".There are competitors overseas, and there are products with a close concept.However, we have not yet been commercialized.In a specialized term, I use a method called "Maxwell view".It passes one light through the center of the pupil and leads to the retina.
Asakura's beam expresses each RGB color.
Teshima RGB There is a laser module that emits each color, and the color is created by distribution of this laser.This is a mechanism to draw this in detail with the MEMS mirror and draw a picture.If you explain this, you often ask the "difference from DLP", but the mechanism is different.A single mirror that vibrates on the two axis is drawn to draw a video by raster scan.
Asakura, that is, different colors are irradiated in order for each location (pixel).It is close to the image of a CRT scanning line.
Tejima: As you said!The three -color laser for creating a graphic controller and color is included in an external module, like a paperweight.It is the future challenge to make this smaller.Although it is still big at present, it is relatively easy to miniaturize this box.The mobile phone was once a shoulder phone, but now it has been smaller to the size of the pocket.Ultimately, we aim to have built -in glasses and divide only controllers outside.
Asakura Certainly the old mobile phone was exaggerated (laughs)
QD laser was established in 2006.It is a venture created by a quantum dot laser researcher who was originally at Fujitsu's research institute.Taking advantage of the excellent characteristics of Quantum Dot Laser, the purpose was to apply to communication.
Twelve years after its establishment, about 60 employees are working in Hamakawasaki.The corporate message is "the world evolves with light."
The fluffy logo of the dandelion shows a radially spread laser, and if you look closely, the edge is imagined by "Q".In short, it's a "laser pushing" company.A fabeless company that develops technology as a keyword.
Retissa Display's business, an eyewear -type device, started about three years ago.The core laser module business has become profitable, so it is planned as a new business to be the next challenge.
