TOKYO, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cellid Inc., a leading developer of AR display technology and spatial recognition engines, today announced the launch of "Cellid Precision Fit Lenses," a new lens that meets the need for diopter correction functionality as the AR glasses market grows. These innovative lenses seamlessly integrate diopter correction with advanced light field control1, enhancing visual clarity and overall usability. By significantly improving image quality and comfort, Cellid Precision Fit Lenses mark a major step forward in making AR glasses more accessible and practical for everyday use.
It is estimated that more than half of the world's population wear glasses2, and the ability to correct vision when using AR glasses is a key factor in their widespread adoption. Leveraging its proprietary optical simulation and production technologies, Cellid developed AR glasses lenses (waveguide method) that are as thin and light as ordinary glasses lenses while providing clear images. In response to customer requests and potential needs, Cellid has now engineered "Cellid Precision Fit Lenses" with a vision correction function that responds to customer requests and potential needs.
Key features of Cellid Precision Fit Lenses
The Light Field Control function allows the user to fine-tune the viewing distance of the AR image by selecting the appropriate lens to be worn. For example, in a worksite environment, if users need to perform close-range work while referring to AR image manuals or work videos, they can wear Cellid Precision Fit Lenses optimized for their specific working distance, ensuring that AR visuals align seamlessly with their real-world tasks. This customization enhances clarity, precision, and overall comfort, providing a comfortable AR-assisted work experience.
Technical issues in development and future development
The main components of AR glasses—the lens (waveguide) and the diopter correction lens—have a structural contradiction, as the former is flat while the latter is curved. Additionally, several challenges must be addressed to make diopter correction lenses suitable for AR glasses practical, such as the increased edge thickness when conventional spherical lenses are designed to meet required strength standards.
Cellid has developed its proprietary SCL technology (Small base Curved Lens technology) to address these issues, leading to the commercialization of Cellid Precision Fit Lenses. The company continues to refine its design and manufacturing processes and plans to begin providing samples of an improved, thinner model in late April this year.
Comments from Satoshi Shiraga, CEO, Cellid
The new "Cellid Precision Fit Lenses" will significantly enhance the practicality of AR glasses, making immersive AR experiences more accessible for everyday use. We believe that by enabling a wide range of people to use AR glasses on a daily basis, their use will accelerate in diverse fields, regardless of industry, including manufacturing, education, retail, and entertainment. We will continue to contribute to the expansion of the AR market by leveraging our strengths in AR glasses design and manufacturing technologies centered on WaveGuide, as well as software technologies such as spatial recognition, while working with partners with whom we can grow together."

Cellid Announces the Release of "Cellid Precision Fit Lenses" for Next Generation AR Glasses with Diopter Correction
SHANGHAI, April 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Thermo King, a strategic brand of Trane Technologies (NYSE: TT), a global climate innovator, has announced the launch of its first Asian-made trailer refrigeration unit production line at the new smart plant in Wujiang, China. This production line is dedicated to the LEGEND series - the flagship products developed by Thermo King Asia Pacific. These units will be supplied to markets across Aian, marking a strategic milestone in Thermo King's localization efforts in R&D and manufacturing.
In line with the company's Future Factory Initiative, the highly automated and intelligent new production line has increased the localization rate of the LEGEND supply chain by 60%, significantly shortened the delivery cycle, and greatly enhanced the stability and flexibility of the refrigeration equipment supply chain across the Asia Pacific region. This development propels the cold chain logistics industry towards a more efficient, intelligent and sustainable future.
"The localized production of LEGEND products is a key milestone for Thermo King to deepen its presence in the Asia Pacific market." said Helen Ling, vice president of Trane Technologies Asia Pacific, "We have achieved a breakthrough in the entire process of independently developed a product, from design to large-scale manufacturing. We also worked with local suppliers to create the industry-leading 'three-in-one' motor technology through a series of technical advancements. This accomplishment marks our completion of a full cycle from independent R&D to mass production. Moving forward, Thermo King will continue to invest in cutting-edge technologies and work with our partners to drive greater quality and efficiency in regional cold chain logistics. "
The new LEGEND series is built on Thermo King's world-leading Trailer platforms, specially designed for high-frequency road transportation in Asia Pacific, combining three advantages - precise temperature control, efficient energy saving, and intelligent operation and maintenance. With its advanced electrical architecture and independent airflow control technology, it enables precise all-zone temperature management tailored to cargo types and transportation conditions. This ensures the consistency of temperature control throughout the transportation process, and delivering uniform temperature distribution even at low engine speed, which effectively avoids local temperature variations for high-value goods such as fresh food and medicine, and significantly reduces the cargo damage rate.
For high efficiency and energy saving, the LEGEND series adopts the breakthrough "three-in-one" motor technology, integrating the motor, permanent magnet generator, and active rectifier. Compared with the traditional mechanical drive solution, the LEGEND series uses 27% fewer components, saving installation space while improving the unit's fuel efficiency by 15%. Simultaneously, with the coordinated operation of brushless fans, smart control algorithm and electronic engine speed control (ECO Governor), the unit can deliver up to 20% fuel efficiency in actual scenario. Besides, the LEGEND series can also achieve fast pull down and consistent capacity output across all conditions. Its ability to monitor engine load ensures reliable operation, cutting overall maintenance needs by 30% and reducing downtime losses by 52%.
In addition, the LEGEND series enjoys improved product reliability thanks to the intelligent operation and management system. It features an IP67 HMI with multi-language support, live fuel consumption data display, and automated Pretrip self-check function to avoid unexpected downtime. The standard Tbox telematics solution can continuously track the operating status of the unit, ensuring a fully controlled refrigeration transportation process.
The LEGEND series has ovtained the certification for China GB IV emission regulation. The first batch of products will be applied mainly in the inter-city highway refrigerated transport market, with planned expansion into railway applications and compliance with EU stage V emission regulation. In the future, Thermo King will continue the green manufacturing practice, driving the high-quality development of the Asia-Pacific refrigeration logistics industry through intelligent upgrades of production lines and R&D efforts on high-efficiency energy-saving technologies.
