Vuzix® Corporation, a leading supplier of AI-powered smart glasses, waveguides and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, and Himax Technologies, Inc., a leading supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and other semiconductor products, today announced a new Optical Component Reference Design for AR glasses. The design combines Himax’s ultra-compact HX7319FL color sequential Front-lit LCoS microdisplay with Vuzix’ high-efficiency waveguide technology together to enable lightweight AR glasses that support prescription lenses, while achieving standardized and scalable manufacturing readiness across both the optical module and mechanical design.
The reference design, being showcased at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada, delivers a wide range of ODM flexibility, supporting configurations from a 30° field of view (FOV) to over 1000 nits of brightness in a compact and power-efficient architecture. Himax’s HX7319FL LCoS microdisplay integrates a resolution of 720 × 720 LCoS display into a projector module measuring just 0.34 c.c. and weighing 0.79 grams, enabling sleek, lightweight designs suitable for all-day wear. Vuzix’ push-pull prescription-ready waveguide supports high-index glass options, an ultra-thin 0.35 mm plate architecture, and scalable NIL manufacturing in both glass and plastic. Together, the solution provides OEMs and eyewear makers with a production-ready optical platform that balances performance, form factor, power efficiency, and cost, accelerating commercialization across consumer and enterprise AR markets.
“This reference design reflects our focus on delivering practical, manufacturable AR optics that can scale beyond prototypes,” said Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix. “By combining our prescription-ready waveguide technology with Himax Display’s ultra-compact LCoS engine, we are enabling OEMs and eyewear partners to bring truly wearable AR glasses to market.”
“Himax continues to advance ultra-small, low-power LCoS microdisplays for wearable applications,” said Hsien Chang Tsai, Vice President of Himax. “Working with Vuzix allows us to demonstrate how the HX7319FL can be integrated into a complete optical solution that meets the performance and manufacturability requirements of next-generation AR eyewear.”
