Company patents
Light Field Lab, Inc.
Light Field Lab, Inc. exhibits a surprising patent strategy given its core business, with a significant portion of its portfolio (16.2%) dedicated to seemingly unrelated areas like Drug Delivery Devices, Medical Diagnostics & Surgery, Plastics Shaping & Molding, and Additive Manufacturing, all of which saw a substantial decline in patenting activity in 2025 (YoY -75.0%). While its primary focus remains on Optical Elements & Systems (77.9% of portfolio) and Pictorial / Video Communications (66.2%), these core areas also experienced significant year-over-year declines in 2025, at -61.9% and -73.7% respectively, suggesting a broad shift in patenting priorities across the company.

Technologies that create dynamic and interactive visual content for displays, including virtual/wearable systems, by generating overlays, replacing input streams, or merging real-time user actions with digital environments.
Optical systems and components specifically designed for head-mounted displays, augmented reality (AR) glasses, and virtual reality (VR) headsets, focusing on image projection, waveguide integration, and display durability.
Engineering of artificial subwavelength structures (meta-atoms) to create metasurfaces that manipulate light properties (phase, polarization, wavelength) for multi-functional optical devices.
Systems that combine light sources, waveguides, and display elements into unified products for backlighting, automotive applications, general lighting, or color-corrected displays.
Methods and systems for displaying complex data in three-dimensional graphical formats, allowing users to manipulate, explore, and derive insights from the data through interactive controls.
Systems that combine data from multiple camera sensors or capture multiple images from different perspectives or qualities, often involving image processing techniques like synthesis to create enhanced or comprehensive views.
Techniques and hardware architectures designed to efficiently generate and display complex 3D graphics, particularly for interactive applications like virtual reality, focusing on speed and visual quality.
Techniques for building three-dimensional metal objects layer-by-layer using metal powders, including powder bed fusion, binder jetting, and directed energy deposition. This theme encompasses process mechanics, equipment design, and operational control for AM systems.
Methods and apparatus for improving the visual fidelity, resolution, or compression efficiency of video signals, often through advanced processing, up-scaling, or neural network-based filters.
