The yearly highlight of the AR/VR/MR industry is once again approaching – SPIE AR | VR | MR will start at Moscone West in San Francisco on January 27, 2025. And yes – Inkron will be there! If you wish to meet our team on-site, please get in touch with us at info@inkron.com or stop by our booth #6225.
Inkron’s Process Team Lead, Dr. Mikko Poutanen, will be giving a talk on the main stage about “High Refractive Index Materials for Nanoimprinting Waveguides – Challenges and Solutions.”
Abstract of the talk: High refractive index resins are key enabling components for direct nanoimprinting of AR waveguides and need to meet strict requirements across optical quality, replication pattern fidelity, mass manufacturing process stability, and long-term reliability. This talk will highlight the latest developments in Inkron’s state-of-the-art nanoimprinting materials for both spin coating and inkjet printing applications. Dr. Poutanen will address and present solutions for the photostability challenges of titanium dioxide-based high refractive index materials, pattern fidelity changes in repeated replication processes, and low-temperature process requirements of emerging plastic substrates.
