iView and Forth Dimension Displays to Collaborate on Structured Light Projectors (SLPs) for Chinese 3D Automated In-line Opti...
September 05 2016 - 8:30AM
iView Limited (iView) and Forth Dimension Displays Limited
(ForthDD) have entered into an agreement to develop, manufacture
and sell Structured Light Projectors (SLPs). SLPs are a key
component of 3D automated in-line optical inspection (3D AOI)
equipment which is rapidly replacing 2D AOI in printed circuit
board (PCB) manufacture. The ability to use 3D AOI to measure
components in all three dimensions, on every PCB in real time,
enables companies to improve yields and product quality while
reducing wastage and costs.
ForthDD’s SXGA-3DM is a fast switching, all digital, high
performance reflective Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) product.
Designed for 3D AOI, the widely used SXGA-3DM features the industry
proven SXGA (1280 x 1024) Time Domain Imaging™ display with a 3D
metrology specific display drive interface. iView has long
established capabilities in the design and manufacture of
microdisplay based projection engines. iView will manufacture the
SLPs at their Shenzhen factory combining ForthDD’s SXGA-3DM SLM
with an LED illuminator and LED drive electronics, optical
components and housing. The SLP will deliver precise, high
resolution structured light patterns over a 40mm x 40mm field of
view. This combination of the products and expertise from the two
companies will allow Chinese 3D AOI equipment manufacturers to
reduce their time to market and benefit from an established,
experienced SLP supply chain.
Steve Yeung, CEO of iView said “3D scanning using structured
light projection is an emerging technology with various
applications. In particular, the market for 3D AOI machines is
rapidly growing in China. Combining ForthDD’s SLM and iView’s
projection technology will result in a cost effective 3D AOI
optical system solution for our customers.”
Greg Truman, CEO of ForthDD said “The market for 3D AOI machines
is growing rapidly in all parts of the World. ForthDD has a very
strong position in the market, supplying leading manufacturers in
Germany, Japan and South Korea. Working closely with iView, ForthDD
intends to develop a similarly strong position supplying Chinese 3D
AOI machine manufacturers.”

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this press release may be considered
“forward-looking” statements under the “Safe Harbor” provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
include, without limitation, statements relating to our expectation
that 3D automated in-line optical inspection (3D AOI) equipment
which is rapidly replacing 2D AOI in printed circuit board (PCB)
manufacture; the SLP will deliver precise, high resolution
structured light patterns over a 40mm x 40mm field of view; this
combination of the two company’s products and expertise will allow
Chinese 3D AOI equipment manufacturers to reduce their time to
market and benefit from an established, experienced SLP supply
chain; the market for 3D AOI machines is rapidly growing in China;
combining ForthDD’s SLM and iView’s projection technology will
result in a cost effective 3D AOI optical system solution for our
customers; the market for 3D AOI machines is growing rapidly in all
parts of the World; and ForthDD intends to develop a similarly
strong position supplying Chinese 3D AOI machine
manufacturers. These statements involve a number of
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the
following: the 3D automated in-line optical inspection equipment
(3D AOI) market may not grow; 3D automated in-line optical
inspection equipment (3D AOI) may not continue to replace the 2D
AOI equipment; there may be technical issues which prevent the SLP
from delivering a precise high resolution structured light patterns
over a 40mm x 40mm field of view; Chinese 3D AOI equipment
manufacturers may not be able to reduce their time to market;
combining ForthDD’s SLM and iView’s projection technology may not
result in a cost effective 3D AOI optical system solution for their
customers; ForthDD may not be able to develop a strong position
supplying Chinese 3D AOI machine manufacturers; and ForthDD
products may not be accepted by the market place. ForthDD
undertakes no obligation to update any of these forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the
date of this release.
