NILT develops technologies for head-mounted displays and optical components for 3D sensing. Being a modern optics solutions company, NILT works with the AR/VR/MR industry at many levels. Leading AR headset providers use NILT’s display products, and the technology is used in several demonstrators from undisclosed brand names.
NILT has AR/VR/MR customer engagements that benefit from the in-house mastering processes to provide extreme control and accuracy of features and gratings used to define input-, expander-, and output gratings in displays. Diffractive gratings are designed and optimized in close dialogue with customers to provide the highest possible display performance. NILT provides masters made according to customer specifications. NILT supports the entire journey from development to mass production with its masters and sub-masters technologies. In addition, NILT works across the industry with material and tool providers to deliver scalable solutions for mass production.
“At NILT, we have more than 15 years of experience in developing high precision nanostructured masters. We make masters with 1D and 2D binary gratings, blazed- and slanted gratings, all seamlessly integrated into one master. This way, we give our customers unmatched design freedom when developing their display solutions”, says Brian Bilenberg, founder and EVP Mastering at NILT.
