How it works

Three lasers, one even field

Where Neptune scans a single circular beam, Luna spreads integrated red, green and blue sources into a uniform, homogenised illumination field — the flat, full-colour backlight an LCoS micro-display needs to form a complete image at once.

Luna — RGB-to-uniform-field schematic (dark, glows)

01 · Integrated RGB sources

Single-mode red, green and blue grown on one chip — the same source platform proven in Neptune.

02 · Combine & homogenise

On-module optics merge the three colours and flatten them into an even intensity profile across the field.

03 · Illuminate the panel

A uniform full-colour field lights the LCoS micro-display so a complete frame is formed in one exposure.

Key features

Built for full-field AR projection

Integrated RGB area luminator

Red, green and blue combined into one module — a full-colour area field, not a scanned point, built for LCoS-class engines.

Uniform illumination

Homogenised intensity across the field — even colour and brightness, edge to edge.

LCoS-optimised

Matched to micro-display panels; forms a complete frame in a single exposure.

Compact integrated module

Integrated optics replace a box of discrete parts. Final footprint to confirm at datasheet release.

High efficiency

On-module combining minimises optical loss — laser brightness for see-through AR.

Same proven platform

Wafer-scale integrated photonics, shared with Neptune. Class 1 eye-safe by design.

Applications

Full-colour fields for everyday AR

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Luna is an integrated RGB area luminator — a single module that combines red, green and blue laser sources into a uniform full-colour illumination field for LCoS-class micro-displays.

Neptune is a pointer luminator: it produces one circular beam for laser-beam-scanning (LBS-Holo) displays and is sampling today. Luna is an area luminator: it produces a uniform full-field for LCoS-class projection, arriving in the second half of 2026.

Luna targets single-mode red, green and blue at 450 / 520 / 640 nm. Luminance, étendue and package footprint are marked “to confirm” and will be published with the datasheet at release.

Luna is scheduled to begin sampling to design partners in the second half of 2026. Register your interest to be notified as evaluation access opens.

Luna is built for LCoS-class and micro-display architectures that need a uniform full-colour backlight — smart glasses, HUDs and pico-projection engines.

Yes. Like Neptune, Luna is built on wafer-scale semiconductor processes, so quality and cost scale the way they do for chips.

Luna is engineered for Class 1 eye-safe operation in near-eye AR. Full compliance details accompany the datasheet at release.

Reserve a Luna evaluation kit from the section above, or talk to our team to scope an LCoS integration ahead of sampling.
