TriLite designs and manufactures the Trixel® 3, which it bills as the world’s smallest projection display using Laser Beam Scanning (LBS) technology. The Trixel® 3 targets AR smart glasses, OEM/ODM integrations, and in-vehicle driver information systems. The company emphasizes a compact form factor that enables high brightness and image performance for both consumer AR and automotive use cases. TriLite holds multiple patents around its projection technology and plans to refine its IP while scaling mass production. Management says the latest funding will accelerate production and innovation. The company is based in Vienna, Austria and was founded in 2011; prior to the new round it had reported total raises of $9.29M. TriLite, based in Vienna and led by CEO Peter Weigand, develops ultra-compact projection displays for consumer augmented and mixed reality applications. Its Trixel® 3 module occupies just 0.92 cm3 and combines a micro-optical RGB laser light source with a MEMS mirror to deliver bright, high-quality images at very low power consumption. The company has invested in software, including proprietary calibration algorithms, to simplify developer adoption and minimize optical system size and complexity. TriLite also offers a manufacturing platform and high-volume supply chain to accelerate customers' time-to-market. The firm's stated aim is to help AR/MR glasses overcome the bulkiness and weight that have hindered mass-market adoption. In October 2021 TriLite raised €8m to continue expanding operations and broaden its business reach.
