Goertek Debuted Its AR Full-Color Optical Waveguide Display Module, theF50Se, at SPIE Photonics West.

At the SPIE Photonics West 2026 held on Jan.20th-22nd, Chinese innovator Goertek

unveils the F50Se - a full-color AR optical waveguide display module with a 50° field

of view (FOV). This innovation makes AR glasses slimmer and lighter.

F50Se: 50° Large-FOV Silicon Carbide Waveguide

The F50Se uses high-refractive-index silicon carbide to overcome the 30° FOV limit

of conventional glass waveguides. Combined with advanced grating design and dry

etching, it eliminates common artifacts like ghosting and rainbow effects for cleaner

visuals. Integrated with a compact LCoS optical engine, it achieves over 1,500 nits of

eye-box brightness - providing a lightweight AR solution with vivid color, high

brightness, and an immersive large-screen experience.

Live Demonstrations

Goertek also features several key products during the exhibition:

• F30Se: A 0.65 mm thin silicon carbide etched waveguide

• F15Pi: Lightweight full-color resin waveguide

• F25Ge: Module optimized for outdoor and industrial use

• Slim MR Pancake module for mixed-reality device
