Dan Sackels from Brilliance discusses the company’s fully integrated RGB laser light source technology at Display Week 2026. The core of their system involves individual red, green, and blue laser dyes flip-chipped onto a silicon substrate. These are combined into a single white beam designed for minimal insertion loss, making it suitable for projection onto LCoS panels or through laser beam scanning (LBS) MEMS for waveguide-based displays in AR and XR applications. The company is based in the Netherlands and is currently in production, ramping up for mass market adoption.

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

Brilliance offers two main product families. The Neptune series is a point-source solution, originally developed for laser beam scanning. The Neptune 1, which is currently available in an evaluation kit, delivers up to 20 milliwatts per color. The upcoming Neptune 2 will increase this output to 100 milliwatts per color. The evaluation kit includes the laser light chip, a driver, and software, allowing developers to experiment with the beam properties for their specific use cases.
The second product line is the Loon family, designed as a flood illuminator specifically for LCoS displays. This addresses a key challenge in LCoS systems by providing a compact and efficient illumination solution. Samples of the Loon chip are expected to be available around the September timeframe. Brilliance positions its technology as a high-performance alternative to MicroLED, offering advantages in brightness, power efficiency, and a smaller form factor.
These advancements aim to enable all-day wearable AR glasses that are viewable in daylight. The technology promises to improve upon current single-channel (monocular) designs by offering a path to smaller, more efficient binocular systems. Brilliance collaborates with partners in the ecosystem, including LMJ for MEMS scanners and Vitra for beam-shaping optics, to facilitate integration and development of next-generation display systems.
