“Laser beam scanning for AR: The compact and scalable Trixel® 3 Cube architecture”
As AR moves toward lightweight, all-day eyewear, displays face stringent limits on size, power, brightness, and manufacturability. This talk presents laser beam scanning (LBS) as an alternative to panel-based micro light-emitting diode (mLED) and liquid-crystal on silicon (LCoS) architectures. LBS offers several fundamental advantages: single-mode laser diodes emit highly directional light from a very small source, enabling compact, efficient optics, higher wall-plug efficiency than LED-based systems, and a wider color gamut from their polarized, narrow-band emission. These benefits are realized in the Trixel® 3 Cube architecture, which integrates RGB laser diodes, beam combination and collimation optics, a bi-resonant 2D micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) mirror, and control electronics in just 0.8 cm³, delivering up to 15 lm and a ≥ 40° field of view, coupled directly into a waveguide. Real-time trajectory control relaxes assembly tolerances, and reliance on established supply chains supports scalable, high-yield production and a path toward sub-0.5 cm³ AR display modules.

Background
The SID-MEC is the Mid-European branch of the Society for Information Display (SID). Founded in 1962, SID is one of the largest associations of scientists, developers, and companies in the field of electronic and information displays worldwide. Embedded in SID, the SID-MEC acts as a Mid-European branch covering a wide geographical spectrum from Eastern to Western Europe.
With a primary focus on displays, the association's forward-looking work encompasses all devices that enable image display, such as smartphone displays, projectors, AR/VR smart glasses, televisions, or display devices in automation technology. The SID-MEC is organized by four board members. For more information about SID-MEC, please visit: https://www.sid.org/Chapters/Europe/Mid-Europe
