Equipped with outstanding optical properties, including a high refractive index of 1.67 or higher and extreme flatness, Diffrar optical polymer wafers offer users of AR glasses a wide Field Of View (FOV). In addition, the material being polymer allows Diffrar to have greater impact resistance, making devices safer and lighter compared to glass.
The product lineup features wafers ranging from 3 inches to 8 inches in size, providing a variety of options for module manufacturing processes for AR and other devices. The 8-inch optical polymer wafer for AR glasses is the world's first product of this kind (according to our investigation).
