Avegant, a next-generation display technology company, has announced its Spotlight display technology — which the company claims is the world's first adaptive LED illumination architecture for liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS).

By dynamically illuminating regions of an LCoS microdisplay, Avegant has enabled the benefits of average pixel level (APL) to achieve illumination power savings up to 90% while simultaneously improving contrast by over 10 times. Spotlight display technology is integrated alongside Avegant's existing products, retaining the advantages of very small, mature light engines that deliver efficient, full color high-resolution, polarized output, the company explained.

Further, Avegant is collaborating with Applied Materials, Inc. and Lumileds on advanced technologies for augmented reality (AR).

"Building on the success of the AG-30L2, we are delighted to announce our new Spotlight display technology. This will usher in a new level of performance for LCoS light engines, enabling efficiency advantages of APL and higher contrast, while maintaining the manufacturability, small-size, and full color high resolution displays that we have come to know from LCoS," the company explained.

Additionally, the company suggests that customers have been waiting for microLED displays to mature to take advantage of APL. Spotlight display technology provides a manufacturable, low-cost LCoS-based solution that is now available, enabling the power-saving benefits of APL, including persistent content, while still providing efficient full-screen content.
