On the path to consumer-oriented augmented reality devices, the development of lightweight and unobtrusive waveguides with high optical quality is essential for the acceptance of a device in order to access a broader market. Optical-grade polymers with application-specific refractive index are key components in this development and are used to manufacture and enhance diffractive, reflective or holographic waveguide combiners.
The importance of automotive lighting increased sharply over the last two decades since LED based systems have been introduced successfully. Besides the recent outstanding developments for traffic safety, also design and energy efficiency aspects are getting more prominent. To fulfill the increasing set of specifications, the presented functional polymers are essential for the further development in automotive lighting solutions. Already qualified for high precision bonding tasks in automotive lighting applications, the discussed materials are also capable to manufacture Micro Lens Arrays (MLA). Moreover, they allow the design of smaller and more efficient systems as well as the implementation of additional functions.
