Optics for the AI Glasses Era
Simplifying Metal Oxides Deposition™
PhosioLux® UV-curable metal oxide coatings make high-index optics for AR waveguides faster, cheaper, and easier to manufacture. Spin or slot-die coat at temperatures as low as 100°C, pattern directly with UV, and skip the etching.
Up to 100× faster · Up to 90% lower cost · n = 1.20–2.60 · Cures at ≤100°C
See what higher index does to light.
Drag the slider to change the coating's refractive index. Higher index traps more light inside the waveguide, so smart glasses can show a wider, brighter image in a thinner lens.
One material family. A tunable index range.

The Solution
Phosio makes it faster, cheaper, and easier to produce the key materials needed for advanced displays and optical components. Today’s methods are either too slow and expensive or require complicated extra steps. Phosio’s breakthrough changes that; our process cuts production time by up to 100 times and reduces costs by as much as 90%. Our materials work at low temperatures, so they can be used on flexible, lightweight surfaces like plastic. They can also be patterned easily using standard tools, without extra steps like etching or masking.
With Phosio, manufacturers can simplify production and build high-quality optical components more efficiently. This opens the door to affordable, high-performance smart glasses and other next-generation devices.
Enabling Hardware for AI
Smart glasses could be the next big device after the smartphone. They let you use AI hands-free, with information appearing right in front of your eyes instead of on a screen in your pocket.
The hard part is the tiny display inside the lens. It needs to be bright, clear and wide, while the glasses stay light and comfortable. Phosio’s coatings help with exactly that: crystal-clear, with no yellowing or haze, giving sharper and wider images in thinner, lighter lenses.
And because our process is simple and low-cost, manufacturers can scale it from prototypes to millions of glasses.
