TDK Chip Cuts Smart Glasses Power by 75%
3 min read
TDK researchers developed a voltage-controlled photonic chip that reduces smart glasses power consumption by more than 75% compared to conventional systems. Published in Advanced Photonics Nexus in 2026, the device uses a thin-film lithium niobate circuit to achieve a 10 gigahertz modulation bandwidth, enabling 4K resolution without neutral-density filters. This innovation addresses switching speed and component miniaturization for wearable displays.
