High Brightness 0.49 Inch Bicritical Propagation Optical Display Module for AR/VR Headsets
Developed by SOTECH's XR Division, the BP049 Optical Module is a premium consumer-grade solution designed to enable lightweight, sunglasses-style AR glasses with an immersive “portable large screen” experience. Engineered for versatility, this ultra-thin module features adjustable diopters ranging from -0.5D to -5.2D, ensuring clear vision for a wide variety of users without the need for additional corrective lenses.
At the core of the BP049 module is a 0.49-inch Micro-OLED display delivering stunning 1920×1080 Full HD resolution at a 16:9 aspect ratio. It provides exceptional visual fidelity with up to 3000 nits of brightness, a 50000:1 contrast ratio, and a wide 47° Field of View (FOV). Despite weighing only about 1g per screen, it maintains high optical performance with TV distortion under 1% and an MTF of >0.2 at 30 lp/mm. Operating efficiently between 936mW and 960mW, the module supports 60Hz to 90Hz frame rates via a MIPI interface, making it ideal for high-quality video streaming, entertainment, and mobile office applications.

The Next-Generation Optical Engine for Lightweight AR
The BP049 is an advanced upgrade to our optical module lineup, representing the next generation of see-through near-eye display technology. It ingeniously integrates two high-brightness 0.6-inch silicon-based OLED displays with precision, all-plastic optical lenses, and a stable mechanical structure.
Engineered for superior visual immersion and user comfort, the BP049 serves as the ideal core optical engine for a new class of lightweight, high-performance Augmented Reality (AR) glasses and Virtual Reality (VR) HMDs. This module specifically addresses the B2B need for a compact solution that delivers an immersive Field of View (FOV) and exceptional image quality, without compromising on wearer comfort or device form factor.
Product Architecture & Core Technology
Birdbath Optical System Explained
The Birdbath optical design is renowned for its ability to deliver a large Field of View and a relatively compact form factor, making it the preferred choice for many consumer and enterprise AR/VR HMDs. The BP049 achieves its performance by utilizing a semi-transparent curved mirror (the birdbath) to reflect the image from the high-resolution Micro-OLED display into the user's eye, while simultaneously allowing the user to see through the mirror into the real world. This clever light path management is key to the BP049's high magnification and wide FOV.
