Company patents

Lumus Ltd.

Lumus Ltd. exhibits a highly concentrated patent strategy, with 86.7% of its 293 patents focused on "Optical Elements & Systems," despite a recent decline of 2.7% in 2025 and a significant drop of 49.3% so far in 2026 for this core area. Surprisingly, while core optical innovation seems to be slowing, the company showed an emerging focus in "Display Drivers" with a 100% growth in 2025, and a notable, albeit declining, interest in "Input/Output & User Interfaces," which saw a massive 600% growth in 2024 before a 42.9% decline in 2025.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BONDING OF OPTICAL SURFACES BY ACTIVE ALIGNMENT

Filed:2022-08-28Pub:2024-11-28
Applicant:LUMUS LTD.

Disclosed herein is a system for producing a composite prism having a plurality of planar external surfaces by aligning and bonding two or more prism components along bonding surfaces thereof, the system includes: an infrastructure configured to bring the bonding surfaces of the first prism component and the second prism component into close proximity or contact; a controllably rotatable mechanical axis configured to align at least one first surface of the first prism component and at least one second surface of the second prism component; a light source configured to project at least one collimated incident light beam on the at least one first surface and the at least one second surface; one or more detectors configured to sense light beams reflected from the first and second surfaces; a computational module configured to determining an average actual relative orientation between the at least one first surface and the at least one second surface based on the sensed data and if a difference between the weighted average actual relative orientation and an intended relative orientation between the at least one first surface and the at least one second surface is below an accuracy threshold, determine a correction angle for the controllably rotatable mechanical axis, wherein one or more of the prism components are transparent or semi-transparent.
