As facial identification technologies spread—many people now carry a sophisticated near-infrared (NIR) facial recognition device in their pocket, on their cell phone—the potential uses for these systems is growing. Take a look at current and future facial recognition applications.

With all the places you find digital displays these days, evidence suggests it might not be that hip to be square. Displays that break the mold of the standard rectangular, flat-panel design enable a highly organic integration of display features into shapes and sizes that are a much better fit with their use and environments. Non-rectangular displays are also called freeform displays (sometimes “free form” or “free-form” – pick your poison), denoting their bespoke shapes and alluding to the freedom of design that they offer to device makers.

Augmented reality (AR) may be hot in the marketplace right now, but it’s nothing new in military aircraft. AR and virtual reality (VR) systems are common in the aerospace and defense industries, with applications ranging from manufacuring quality control to training to combat operations. Innovative new systems are integrating AR into the cockpit to enhance pilot awareness and safety.

Today’s device displays rely more and more on small, emissive components like LEDs and OLEDs to provide the high-resolution viewing experience that consumers have come to expect. To do this, displays are being made with smaller pixels resulting in many more pixels per square inch. To measure these increasingly tiny pixels and emitters—which in miniLED and microLED screens can be microscopic—Radiant's Microscope Lens provides the precision and high-resolution needed.
