Also launches software-based image correction technology to enhance AR visuals

TOKYO, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cellid Inc., a developer of displays and spatial recognition engines for next-generation AR glasses today announced the launch of two new waveguide products—each offering greater brightness than the previous models—along with proprietary software-based correction technology designed to enhance AR image quality by reducing color irregularities.

The new additions include the plastic waveguide R30-FL (C) and the glass waveguide C30-AG (C). The R30-FL (C) delivers approximately 2 times the brightness of its predecessor, while the C30-AG (C) achieves more than 3 times the brightness compared to the previous model. These advancements provide clearer, more vivid AR visuals in both plastic and glass-based optics.

With these new products, Cellid aims to accelerate the adoption of AR glasses through advancements in both hardware and software.

Cellid is also introducing its proprietary software correction technology, developed to address color irregularities and distortions commonly found in AR image projection. These visual artifacts—caused by light path interference and other hardware limitations—have long hindered the user experience. While hardware improvements are valuable, comprehensive correction requires software support.

To solve these issues, Cellid has created a solution that enables highly accurate measurement of display characteristics (such as color irregularities and distortions) and applies real-time software-based corrections. As a result, the final AR image seen by the user is optimized for clarity and precision.

Future Developments in Software Correction

Cellid plans to further enhance this technology through:

• Higher-precision measurement capabilities developed in-house
• Smart correction algorithms that adapt to individual users and changing environments
• Low-power, real-time correction via chip-level implementation
• Automatic toggling and dynamic control of correction parameters, including smartphone integration

Cellid’s waveguide technology delivers vivid, full-color AR displays while maintaining the thinness and lightness of standard eyeglass lenses. The innovation was recognized with the 2024 Display Component of the Year Award by the Society for Information Display (SID), the world’s largest display society. Cellid is currently accelerating joint development and mass production efforts with both domestic and international partners to further drive adoption of AR glasses.

Comments from Satoshi Shiraga, CEO, Cellid

“By expanding Cellid’s Waveguide product lineup, we have not only evolved the hardware, but also established a system that can meet the diverse needs of our customers through the integration of software technology. We will continue to improve the performance of Waveguide products and this software correction technology to achieve AR glasses that provide beautiful, even images no matter what kind of image or light source is used.

It is also known that the unevenness of the Waveguide image changes depending on eye movements, so we are developing modules that comprehensively maximize the UX (user experience) of AR glasses, such as optimal color unevenness correction based on eye tracking and other functions. Through these efforts, we aim to set new standards for user experience and drive the evolution of the AR industry.”
