• TDK acquired assets from OQmented to strengthen AR display technology portfolio.
• The acquisition adds valuable IP, engineering expertise, and MEMS-based laser beam scanning technology.
• Purchase supports TDK’s strategy to develop advanced, vertically integrated display solutions for future smart glasses, combining TDK’s eye intent technology, Full-color Laser Module (FCLM), MEMS mirror, and other internal TDK technologies to build a smart glass display system under TDK AIsight.
By combining TDK’s eye intent technology, FCLM, MEMS mirror, and other technologies, TDK aims to build a display system that will significantly influence the performance of smart glasses.
The transaction strengthens the TDK group company TDK AIsight, TDK’s augmented reality (AR) display business, and supports the company’s strategy to develop next-generation optical solutions for smart glasses and other immersive display applications.
Through the acquisition, TDK gains access to intellectual property, engineering know-how, and key technical capabilities that complement its existing expertise in MEMS, optics, electronics, and system integration. The acquired assets are expected to accelerate TDK’s efforts to build a vertically integrated light engine platform for AR display systems.
Within the AI ecosystem, TDK offers a broad portfolio of components supporting the smart glasses market, which is expected to grow steadily over the medium to long term. In June of 2025, to further enhance its capabilities in this field, TDK acquired SoftEye, Inc., a U.S.-based systems solutions company developing custom chips, cameras, software, and algorithms for smart glasses. The following year, TDK established TDK AIsight to accelerate the development of its smart glasses solutions business and support the realization of AI glasses that deliver intuitive and compelling user experiences.
“By bringing OQmented’s capabilities into TDK AIsight, we are reinforcing our position in a highly promising market segment,” said Te-Won, CEO at TDK AIsight. “This acquisition enhances our ability to develop innovative display solutions and support the growing demand for high-performance AR devices.”
OQmented’s technology portfolio (oqmented.com) is particularly aligned with TDK’s focus on display innovation, including MEMS mirror technology, laser beam scanning, and display engine development. With this acquisition, TDK aims to further strengthen its foundation for commercialization and manufacturing of advanced light engine solutions.
The integration of these assets will support TDK’s broader ambition to create complete display systems that can be scaled for future consumer, automotive, industrial, and mobility applications.
