Project description
EU breakthrough in holographic display technology
Lifelike 3D images (holograms) hold transformative potential across sectors, yet commercial viability has been hindered by low quality and limited viewing angles. In this context, the EIC-funded HXR project introduces the first spatial light modulator with nano-pixels tailored for digital holography. The chipset features advanced systems and algorithms and promises high-fidelity dynamic holographic imagery. With Belgium-based Swave’s expertise, stemming from Imec, and leveraging over a decade of research, HXR aims to revolutionise display technology. By enabling compact extended reality form factors and immersive, ultra-high-resolution holographic displays, it is set to disrupt markets projected to exceed EUR 100 billion by 2030. HXR represents a leap forward in visual innovation, poised to redefine industries.
Objective
Lifelike 3D images (holograms) have the potential to revolutionize key sectors, such as manufacturing, healthcare, consumer electronics, and creative industries. However, it has not yet been possible to create usable holographic displays for commercial applications due to the low visual quality of digital holograms and the very limited field of view of holographic projections.
Swave is developing HXR, the worlds first spatial light modulator specifically designed for digital holography. Our proprietary technology will be commercialized as a novel chipset with supporting systems and algorithms, capable of generating and displaying high-fidelity dynamic holographic imagery. HXR will enable display manufacturers to create immersive, ultra-high resolution holographic displays, disrupting visualization markets forecast to grow to >100bn by 2030. Swave is a spin-off from IMEC, leveraging 12+ years of research and a team with 100+ years of experience in bringing semiconductor/imaging products to market.
