RAYPAITECH Launches Full-Color Array Waveguide Module LCTA 50

At the recent CIOE in Shenzhen, Chinese optics company RAYPAITECH officially

unveiled its new full-color array waveguide module — LCTA 50. The module, now

ready for mass production, features a 50° field of view, 1080p resolution, and an

ultra-compact optical engine volume of just 0.8cc, showcasing the strength of China’s

homegrown optical technologies.

Meanwhile, at Meta Connect 2025, Meta introduced its first consumer-grade

monocular full-color AR glasses — the Meta Ray-Ban Display. Built on an LCoS +

array waveguide architecture, the device delivers sharp and vivid full-color visuals,

signaling the entry of full-color AR into the consumer market. Compared with last

year’s MicroLED prototype Orion, the Meta Ray-Ban Display offers not only superior

display performance but also scalability for mass production, positioning it as a

potential new benchmark in consumer AR.

While Meta has only just brought array waveguide solutions into the consumer

space, Chinese companies such as RAYPAITECH are already leading in large-scale

production and deployment.

Founded in 2012, RAYPAITECH has spent more than a decade advancing array

waveguide technology. The company operates a 16,000 m² production base with an

annual capacity of 1 million units, supported by advanced processes including

molecular bonding. With over 90% market share in the geometric waveguide

segment, RAYPAITECH’s solutions are already widely adopted across consumer

electronics, industrial, medical, and educational AR devices.

This demonstrates that while Meta is setting the industry’s direction, China’s supply

chain is already equipped to deliver high-performance array waveguide modules at

scale, underscoring its strong competitiveness in AR’s core optical technologies.
