TriLite Brings Trixel 3 Cube to CES as Smart Glasses Re-Enter

6. Januar 2026, 16:23 Uhr | Heinz Arnold

With a total volume of around 1 cm³ and a weight of 1.5 g, the Cube integrates the MEMS driver electronics directly into the projection unit. Typical power consumption is 145 mW.

With smart glasses regaining momentum TriLite will highlight at CES 2026 the Trixel 3 Cube, an ultra-compact, cube-shaped laser beam scanning (LBS) projector developed to simplify system integration and support scalable manufacturing.

By eliminating the need for relay optics, the Cube reduces overall display volume and enables greater freedom in industrial design – key requirements for wearable AR devices. While TriLite’s primary focus remains consumer AR, the same LBS platform is also being evaluated for automotive display applications, including head-up displays and free-space projection. These applications share common requirements around efficiency, robustness and integration flexibility, underlining the versatility of the Cube architecture.

TriLite’s demonstrations will show how its software-defined LBS platform supports precise, dynamic projection while shifting system complexity from hardware to software – an approach intended to support both product differentiation and manufacturability at scale.

»Automakers are increasingly seeking advancements in Augmented Reality Head-Up Displays (AR HUDs). TriLite is addressing key limitations of conventional HUD technologies, including the size and inflexibility of TFT-based systems and the optical complexity and efficiency challenges associated with DLP solutions«, said Kevin Mak, Principal Analyst for Automotive Market Analysis at TechInsights, in the latest report »TriLite Trixel 3 – Performance, Flexibility, and Scalability for the Augmented Reality HUD Era«.

The Trixel 3 Cube

Trixel 3 Cube is the latest evolution of TriLite’s ultra-compact laser beam scanning display platform. The Cube integrates MEMS control electronics directly into the projection head, enabling a form factor of approximately 1 cm³ while supporting high brightness, low power consumption and flexible system integration for AR and automotive use cases.
