On September 24, 2024, at the Science Café of the Zhejiang Association for Science and Technology, Professor Min Qiu, Guoqiang Chair Professor and Vice President of Westlake University, as well as Chief Scientist of Moldnano(Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd., unveiled a pair of "magical" AR glasses to the public.
With this first public debut, Moldnano(Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd, incubated by the Photonics And Instruments for NanoTechnology Laboratory of Westlake University, announced a breakthrough in AR glasses’ core technology—ultra-thin, rainbow-effect-free silicon carbide AR diffractive waveguides!
Founded in April 2022, Moldnano(Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd is committed to "advancing micro-nano optics by applying cutting-edge micro-nano fabrication technologies to deliver high-end technical services and optical components." The company has successfully developed nanoimprint template technologies for tilted gratings, 2D gratings, blazed gratings, and depth-gradient gratings, achieving a zero-to-one breakthrough in domestic high-end nanoimprint templates and filling a critical gap in China’s AR industry chain.
This time, the team defied convention by replacing traditional glass or resin lenses with silicon carbide, creating an ultra-thin AR lens—weighing only 2.7 grams per piece and measuring a mere 0.55 mm in thickness—thinner than ordinary sunglasses. Moreover, it enables single-lens full-color display with a wide field of view while eliminating the "rainbow effect" that plagues conventional AR glasses. By combining advanced micro-nano optical technology with superior material properties, this innovation has stepped out of the lab and into the public eye!
The successful conclusion of this technology launch event highlights Moldnano’s exceptional R&D capabilities and relentless innovation in the field of micro-nano optics. As AR technology continues to thrive, we foresee its deep integration into daily life, ushering in a new era of future living. As a pioneer in technological innovation, Moldnano(Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd will continue to explore new frontiers, striving for further breakthroughs in micro-nano optics to provide customers with cutting-edge solutions and premium services.
