VividQ, a developer of computational holography display technology, has announced the completion of an additional $7.5 million in Series A funding, bringing the company’s total funding to over $30 million. The funding supports the company’s expansion into the U.S., where it intends to open an office. The funding also supports the company’s product development roadmap, which intends to expand the technology’s availability to existing and new global business partners. The company’s software generates interference patterns based on input data from game engines and other 3D content sources. The content is then rendered to a spatial light modulator (SLM), which supports display types like digital micromirror displays, phase light modulators, and liquid crystal on silicon. The interference pattern is then illuminated with a coherent or partially coherent light source like lasers or LEDs, forming holographic, full-color images in front of the SLM. VividQ said it has already secured multi-year partnerships with JVCKenwood and U.S.-based leaders in display and automotive technology, in addition to Fortune Global 500 brands developing consumer electronics displays and VR/AR headsets.
