About
Morphotonics, founded in 2014 in Veldhoven, the Netherlands, by four former Philips Optical Media & Technology engineers, develops large-area nanoimprint lithography (NIL) equipment and materials using a roll-to-plate process that stamps micro- and nano-scale optical structures onto glass or plastic at scale. Its systems are used by display makers in China, Taiwan, South Korea and the US to produce AR/VR waveguides for smart glasses, glasses-free 3D displays and anti-glare/privacy screens; about 90% of revenue comes from hardware sales, with 10-15 systems deployed, and it is expanding into co-packaged optics for data centers.
