As augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and smart devices redefine how we interact with the digital world, one component lies at the heart of this transformation: the optical lens. These precision-engineered components enable everything from immersive simulations to advanced camera features and real-time data overlays. In this rapidly expanding sector, Taiwan has established itself as a strategic global hub for innovation, manufacturing, and partnership. With decades of expertise in optics, a robust high-tech supply chain, and strategic integration with the semiconductor and display industries, Taiwan is not only keeping pace with demand—it’s helping to shape the future of visual technology.
The optical industry is still the mainstream product sector in consumer electronics, and there is still a lot of room for innovation. Since smartphones are equipped with optical lenses, from the rear to the front, and from single-lens to multi-lens, hardware innovation not only facilitates consumers to take photos and videos but also directly drives the vigorous development of the optical industry.
Underwater robotics is not only used in rescue and search, it has already been used in marine resource exploration, seabed topographic mapping, and the construction and maintenance of marine engineering structures.
Micro LEDs have the advantages of high resolution, flexibility, and foldability. They are the focus of the development of next-generation display technology. AR smart glasses have driven the explosion of demand for Micro LEDs.
Optical fiber computer technology then entered the field of machinery, with applications in passive components, light guide plates, vehicles, batteries, biotechnology, and other industries.
