Materion Balzers Optics - LightGate™ for DLP Projection

New competence has enabled Materion Balzers Optics to improve the standards in LightGateTM manufacturing (aka TIR and RTIR prisms). Our bonding technology reduces the air-gap height to 2 μm and provides complete air-gap sealing, resulting in less long-term image degradation by preventing dust or gas from entering the gap. Precision blackening technology allows accurate positioning and patterning of the absorptive paint. Envisioning a growing market, all processes have been automated to meet high quality standards at very large production volumes.
