Depth-sensing technology
According to Yole's projections, the global 3D imaging and sensor market is expected to reach a CAGR of 38% in 2016-2022. Consumer electronics is the fastest growing application market, with a CAGR of 160% in 2016-2022. The consumer electronics market is expected to exceed 6 billion dollars by 2022. Starting from 2020, TOF's shipments will further explode. It is highly possible accounting for 40% of the overall 3D induction market, and the shipments are expected to exceed 160 million units.
SVG develops DOE for dToF in the module, the DOE is usually manufactured by micro-nano technology to a form a two-dimensional distribution of diffraction units. Each unit of diffraction has specific morphology, refractive index and so on. It can manipulate the light beam complete beamsplitcing, homogeneity beam, verticality and deviation. It is widely used in 3D camera, laser radar, augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR) and other fields in recent years. Based on the company’s independent research of applied to grayscale lithography equipment, our team developed dToF module of DOE, finished the theory model, working principle, design, manufacturing process, evaluation parameters of DOE. The DOE uses vector diffraction hybrid algorithm simulation design. It can customize micro-nano structure according to the target field demand. We developed multiple lattice uniform diffraction DOE products. The dToF that based on DOE can be applied to 3D face recognition, 3D modeling and gesture recognition, motion simulation game, AR/VR and so on.It can bring more entertaining and practical experience to smartphones.
SVG develops optical diffusion diffuser used in iToF module, completes the theory model, working principle, design, manufacturing process, the evaluation parameters of diffuser design. The research and development of the diffuser is based on chaotic micro lens array design,to avoid interference of diffraction fringes. Valid field of view is 54°* 68 °. Window effect is higher than 75%. It also has wafer level optical components production capacity. The products pass the test about high temperature and high humidity, hot and cold shock, reflow soldering and aging. The multi-scene application of iTOF based on diffuser shows a broader developing prospect than that of structured light. It can be applied to more scenes including 3D face recognition, 3D modeling and gesture recognition, motion-sensing games, AR/VR. It can bring more entertainment and practical experience for smart phones.
