NESS ZIONA, Israel, Sep 3, 2026 – Lumus has licensed Quanta Computer to manufacture its next-generation waveguides for augmented reality (AR) glasses. Under the agreement, Quanta will build the Z-30 2.0 and the A-Lens line, available in 30° and 50° field-of-view (FOV) versions.
The Z-30 2.0 delivers a 30° FOV in a thinner, lighter optical engine and raises brightness enough for prescription lenses to be bonded to the waveguide. A-Lens, built for lower-cost production, is about half the weight and thickness of previous generations. Lumus said the waveguides are intended for consumer and enterprise AR devices.
Both designs retain the image quality and efficiency of Lumus’ waveguide architecture. The companies have worked on geometric waveguide technology since 2016, when Quanta invested in Lumus, moving it from development to scalable manufacturing.
“Our relationship with Quanta has always been built around solving the practical challenges of bringing advanced AR optics into mass production,” said Ari Grobman, CEO of Lumus. “This agreement allows us to bring our next generation of lower-cost waveguides into manufacturing with a partner that understands both the technology and the production requirements behind it. We’re excited to bring thinner waveguides and lighter optical engines to market while preserving the image quality and efficiency Lumus is known for.”
“Quanta and Lumus have consistently advanced reflective waveguide technology while maintaining a strong focus on manufacturability and scale,” said C.C. Leung, vice chairman and president of Quanta Computer. “Leveraging Quanta’s leadership in AI infrastructure, smart computing platforms, precision optics, and global manufacturing operations, we are well positioned to bring next-generation AR technologies from innovation to commercialization. This licensing agreement reflects our confidence in Lumus’ advanced waveguide portfolio and strengthens our long-term collaboration to deliver light weight, high brightness, cost-effective, and production-ready optical solutions for the future generation of AI-enabled smart glasses.”

About Lumus
Lumus develops reflective geometric waveguide optics and optical engines for augmented reality (AR) glasses and head-mounted displays. Founded in 2000, the company is headquartered in Ness Ziona, Israel. Its products include Z-Lens, Maximus, Vision and TD-2020 waveguide display systems. The systems combine waveguides and projectors to place digital images in a user’s field of view. Lumus supplies consumer electronics, medical-device, defense and enterprise technology manufacturers. The company says its waveguides support outdoor use and can deliver up to 10 times the luminance efficiency of competing designs. It also cites a direct light path, color uniformity, smaller micro-projectors, wider fields of view and low forward light leakage. Lumus works with Quanta Computer Inc. and SCHOTT on manufacturing. Its technology appears in Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, Thales Scorpion displays, Augmedics X2, SNKE, Lenovo ThinkReality A6, and MediThinQ ScopeEye and MetaScope devices. Lumus said it has shipped 200,000 units.
