APPLICATIONS
Where flexible LC changes the view
Five product categories already shipping with our LC technology, and we’re working on more.
AR
AR Smart Glasses
AR Smart Glasses
AR Smart Glasses
AR glasses let users interact with virtual and real worlds in real time. Our LC lenses tint gradually in response to ambient light, increasing imaging contrast and quality outdoors.

STROBE GLASSES
Strobe Training Eyewear
Strobe eyewear sharpens visual processing for athletes, security, and rehabilitation, improving eye-hand coordination, balance, and reaction time through active brain engagement.
HELMET
Smart Auto-Dimming Helmet
Smart Auto-Dimming Helmet
Smart Auto-Dimming Helmet
Auto-dimming motorcycle helmets that adjust the lens in 0.1 seconds based on light exposure, keeping the field of view clear and natural so riders can focus on the road.

SKI GOGGLE
Ski Goggles
LC-based ski goggles compensate instantly for changing light. No lens swaps, no batteries needed, solar cells and a rechargeable battery do the work for you.
SUNGLASSES
Adaptive Sunglasses
Activate dimming on demand, even while driving, unlike photochromic lenses that rely solely on UV. Driven by a rechargeable battery and powered by a solar cell.

What is “Normally Open” flexible LC operation mode?
What is “Normally Open” flexible LC operation mode?
In Normally Open mode, the flexible LC is transparent when no voltage is applied (Off State). When low voltage is applied (On State), the flexible LC becomes tinted.
