AI glasses have successfully detonated the technology circle this year and become a new trend in smart wearable products. According to estimates from third-party organizations, more than 1 million units of Meta Ray-Ban AI glasses may have been sold. Brands such as Xiaomi Mijia and Li Weike also launched new AI glasses worth less than 1,000 yuan, attracting market attention. According to foreign media reports, Meta plans to release its first AR glasses at the Connect conference in September this year. At the same time, according to AR circle research, Meta AR glasses will use a relatively mature array optical waveguide solution.

However, the problem with array optical waveguides has always been that it is difficult to have both miniaturization and high brightness. Using traditional technical solutions, if the brightness is high, the optical engine must be made larger, so the size and weight of the AR glasses will increase; if the optical engine is smaller, the brightness will also be reduced, and the use scenarios of AR glasses will be greatly limited.
Recently, through innovative research and development, process iteration and industry-university-research cooperation, Gudong Technology's optical team has successfully achieved the miniaturization of the array optical waveguide light machine, and achieved high-brightness display, improving the brightness of the display to the eyes. Compared with similar products in the industry, the light efficiency of Gudong Technology's array optical waveguide is increased by 100%, and the brightness into the eyes is increased by nearly 100%.After actual comparative testing,In outdoor strong light environments, through Gudong Technology's array optical waveguide products, users can still clearly see the display content in the glasses. Similar products in the industry can basically not see the display content clearly in outdoor environments.

Gudong Technology's innovative research and development of array optical waveguide products "coincides" with the technical route adopted by industry leader Meta's first AR glasses, which once again confirms Gudong Technology's scientific research layout capabilities in the cutting-edge field of AR optical waveguides.
Gudong Technology has made an important breakthrough in miniaturized high-brightness array optical waveguide technology. The array optical waveguide module can be inserted into the temples of AR glasses, making the size more compact and achieving a glasses-like shape. At the same time, the increase in eye brightness has greatly expanded the use scenarios of AR glasses, taking the lead in enabling array optical waveguides to be further applied in C-end scenarios, which will help industry customers launch Meta AR glasses products and accelerate consumer-grade AR glasses. The market exploded.
