Major Industry Partnerships Bring RayNeo X3 Pro AR Smartglasses to Consumers

RayNeo, JBD, and Applied Materials Partner On Industry-Leading Full-Color AR Glasses with the X3 Pro

The future of AR smartglasses is here — powered by a groundbreaking partnership that overcomes some of the toughest challenges in AR smartglasses display technology.
.
RayNeo, JBD (Jade Bird Display), and Applied Materials have joined forces to deliver a major leap forward in full-color waveguide AR glasses, first realized in the new RayNeo X3 Pro. 
This collaboration marks an inflection point for the industry, solving long-standing issues with brightness, uniformity, and color accuracy that have limited the consumer AR smartglasses experience.

Breaking Through AR Display Bottlenecks

For years, developers have struggled with critical visual hurdles: distorted colors, dim brightness in outdoor light, and uneven luminance across the lens. These flaws slowed down mainstream adoption of AR smartglasses.
The three-party collaboration delivers a complete solution:
  • JBD provides ultra-bright, compact MicroLED microdisplays, the foundation for sharp, energy-efficient visuals.

  • Applied Materials introduces etched single-layer diffractive waveguides, making glasses thinner, lighter, and far more precise.
  • RayNeo integrates the system with real-time image-quality correction, ensuring immersive visuals that feel true-to-life.
The result is a massive leap in visual performance, taking AR glasses from experimental to ready for everyday use.

Third-Generation AR Display Technology

The RayNeo X3 Pro represents the arrival of third-generation AR display architecture:
  1. First-generation AR glasses used bulky LCoS/DLP engines with multilayer waveguides — limited in contrast, heavy, and impractical.
  2. Second-generation systems introduced MicroLED, improving brightness and power efficiency but still hindered by multilayer waveguides.
  3. RayNeo's third-generation of display technology, utilized in the RayNeo X3 Pro, advances to etched single-layer waveguides with MicroLED and system-level correction — unlocking lightweight comfort, superior brightness, vivid color accuracy, and real-world usability.

A New Standard for AR Glasses

As the first consumer device to feature this breakthrough architecture, the RayNeo X3 Pro delivers:
  • Peak brightness up to 6,000 nits in-eye, for crystal-clear visuals when used outside.
  • Global luminance uniformity above 80% and color accuracy (ΔE) as low as 0.02, eliminating distortion and graininess in the display.
  • Lightweight design and power efficiency, making it practical and comfortable for daily wear.
With these advances, the X3 Pro takes AR displays from “good enough to test” to “delightful to use.”

Partnership Driving the Future of AR

This collaboration shows what’s possible when display innovators, semiconductor leaders, and AR smartglasses pioneers work together.
.
By combining JBD’s MicroLED leadership, Applied Materials’ waveguide manufacturing expertise, and RayNeo’s system integration, the industry has taken a giant leap forward in AR glasses display quality.
The RayNeo X3 Pro is the first to bring these innovations to market — and with global availability on the horizon, it’s poised to set the new standard for consumer AR smartglasses.
