PHABULOµS aims to set up a European pilot line for the manufacturing of free-form micro-optical components by UV replication technologies (wafer-scale, roll-to-plate R2P, and roll-to-roll R2R)with a clear roadmap for high volume production at competitive cost.
Objective
PHABULOµS objective is to accelerate the validation of technologies & processes (with selected use cases), to validate the services of the pilot line (with pilot cases) and eventually establish a unique legal entity as one-stop shop.
Use cases
Micro Displays for Augmented Reality
MICROOLED
A new dimension to consumer’s experience by providing the world’s highest pixel density AMOLED microdisplays.
The technology provides brightness enhancement and control of angular light emission, e.g. in see-through optical systems for wearable Augmented Reality (AR).
VIRTUAL AND Augmented Reality
LIMBAK
Thin free-form optical lenses with improved image resolution and reduced volume and field of view for VR/AR headsets.
SOLID-STATE LIGHTING
ZUMTOBEL
LED downlight with asymmetric uniform light distribution.
The thin-form factor/cost-effective FMLA solution will replace the current bulky/expensive facetted reflectors.
AUTOMOTIVE FUNCTIONAL LIGHTING
HELLA GmbH & Co. KGaA
HELLA
Headlights with uniform appearance in the on/off state, yielding a high beam and an asymmetric low beam with a homogenous light distribution and low stray light, low installation space and low weight.
TRANSPORTATION INTERIOR LIGHTING
SEISENBACHER
Large-area direct-lit LED luminaires with improved luminance uniformity, thinner form factor and lower cost.
