On January 9, local time, CES 2024, a high-profile global technology event, opened in the United States. As a scientific and technological innovation enterprise with a global layout, Goertek Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Goertek") brought a series of innovative technologies and solutions in the fields of sound, light and electricity to appear again, and used science and technology to decorate a healthy and beautiful life.
Seeing the future, Goertek's VR AR technology has been upgraded again.
As an industry leader in the field of VR AR, Goertek continues to strengthen its upstream layout in VR AR core optical components such as optical lenses, optical machines, optical waveguides, etc., and provides customers with vertical integration solutions of "precision components + intelligent hardware machines".
In the field of VR, optical modules using Pancake short-focus folding optical technology have become the mainstream choice of VR optical display solutions in the industry. Goertek Optics once again launched a new high-performance Pancake display module at this CES, which combined with 3M for the first time in the industry to adopt in-mold injection molding technology based on COC materials, which greatly reduces the surface roughness and orange peel of the lens, and improves the FOV to 105° to meet the display requirements of high-performance VR equipment. In terms of VR machines, Goertek has launched MR reference designs based on Qualcomm XR2 Gen 2 platform and XR2+ Gen 2 platform, featuring high-definition display, which can realize automatic adjustment of interpupillary distance (IPD) (59-71 mm) and gesture tracking, providing users with the ultimate audio-visual experience of binocular 8K level for moviegoers and game users.
In the field of AR, with its deep experience in the design and development of opto-mechanical and optical waveguides, Goertek Optics launched a new and upgraded full-color diffractive optical waveguide display module at this exhibition, focusing on small size, ultra-brightness, full-color display and other characteristics. Among them, the 30°FOV single-layer full-color diffraction optical waveguide display module STAR E has successfully broken through the high refractive index grating processing technology, and also introduced electrochromic technology, with adjustable light transmittance from 10% to 90%, which is suitable for different lighting environment scenariosAt the same time, based on the latest LCOS solution, Goertek has also launched the industry's smallest optical machine that can adapt to 46° large FOV (can be upgraded to 53°FOV) and has a volume of about 1cc. In terms of AR machines, Goertek launched its self-developed lightweight AR glasses with a weight of 57G, an eye-catching brightness of 1000nits, and a full-color Micro LED light machine to further meet the lightweight needs of AR productsAt the same time, Goertek is also based on AR chip platforms such as Qualcomm AR1, and continues to develop new AR glasses reference designs with functions such as integrated AI capabilitiesIn order to improve the interactive experience of lightweight AR glasses, Goertek also launched the intelligent interactive ring reference design COMMA, which realizes the convenient control of AR glasses through surface touch and IMU gestures, solves the shortcomings of the current handle portability, visual interaction computing power, limited power consumption and other interaction methods, and provides consumers with a more convenient and comfortable interactive experience.
In addition, Goertek also exhibited a series of tactile products that represent the industry's leading level, including linear motors for VR games and force feedback modules, which achieve better performance in a more compact size and make the haptic experience more vivid and interesting.
Hearing the beauty, Goertek exhibited a series of cutting-edge acoustic products.
Goertek, which has been deeply engaged in acoustics for more than 20 years, based on the perfect material technology, process technology, product technology and industrial layout in the field of micro speakers and speakers, comprehensively displayed the speaker monomers and modules such as mobile phones, wearables, headphones, and smart speakers at this exhibition. For example, DPS speakers, taking into account sound quality and privacy, can significantly improve the call privacy and stereo effect of mobile phones;The "thin as a blade" Rhythm-Z speaker has a thickness reduction of more than 22% compared with similar products, and at the same time has better sound quality, meeting the needs of flat and folding ultra-thin thicknessUpgraded speaker + receiver + touch motor 3-in-1 module SBS-MAGIC20, provide x+z dual-frequency bidirectional vibration feedback, so that the perception is more dimensional, and the overall architecture is more integrated;The innovative B2B double-sided vibration system effectively solves the shell vibration phenomenon while bringing stereo sound. In the field of acoustic equipment, Goertek also exhibited a TWS headset reference design ROX3 that can achieve spatial audio, adaptive ANC and lossless sound quality, and has heart rate monitoring function, which uses advanced infrared detection technology, so that users can enjoy the wonderful ** at the same time, they can obtain their own health data in time.
Focusing on health, Goertek's new intelligent hardware products were unveiled.
A variety of smart wearable and smart home products independently developed by Goertek were also unveiled at this exhibition. Among them, a variety of health monitoring products that meet the market demand have attracted a lot of attention. For example, Goertek's self-developed photoelectric blood pressure product Bambi can allow people to monitor blood pressure anytime, anywhere, without feeling and comfortably, and obtain accurate and reliable medical-grade level data, which is also another new exploration in the health field after Goertek's medical-grade ECG monitoring and balloon blood pressure monitoring. Not only that, Goertek also innovatively launched the "Family Health Butler" smart speaker product KEEPER, which integrates health monitoring functions such as body temperature (non-contact), heart rate, blood oxygen, ECG, blood pressure, etc., with medical-grade accuracy, supporting multi-person use and multi-device interconnection.
At this exhibition, Goertek Microelectronics exhibited a variety of pressure, inertia, TOF, and multi-functional combination sensors, which have the advantages of small size, high performance, large range and multi-function, among which the use of miniaturized OLGA package 3D TOF, the size is greatly reduced, which is more conducive to the lightweight and portability of the device. Goertek Optics brings a full range of opto-mechanical modules for micro-projection, covering different chip sizes and lens types.
Layout of automotive electronics, Goertek launched more self-developed advanced products.
Relying on the rich experience and technology accumulated in acoustics, wireless, software, optics, system integration and other fields, Goertek continues to make efforts in automotive electronics and launches a wide range of self-developed products. At this exhibition, Goertek Optics exhibited freeform mirrors and cold mirrors applied to AR-HUD, among which freeform mirrors have the advantages of large size, high precision and high reliability, which can effectively ensure the imaging effect and mass production quality of AR-HUDThe infrared cut film used in the cold light mirror adopts the coating process independently developed by Goertek Optics, which can reduce the risk of sunlight backfilling. The PGU module PGU4620 Gen2, which was released in July 2023 for automotive AR-HUDs, also appeared on the scene, which can achieve a high refresh rate of 120Hz and a contrast ratio of 1800:1.
In addition, Goertek's self-developed vehicle center console, which has the industry's leading piezoelectric contact feedback technology, made its debut, with lower thickness, better anti-mistouch effect, and real feedback touch, which solves the problems of vibration dragging, cheap appearance, complex design, and easy mistouch of the vehicle touch vibration feedback scheme. It is worth mentioning that Goertek has also launched a cockpit active noise reduction solution (RNC) for automotive noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) and other issues, compared with the traditional NVH solution, it can reduce the total weight of the vehicle while reducing the noise in the car, and further improve the comfort and safety of vehicle driving and riding.
