Holographic display manufacturer, Light Field Labs, raised USD 50 million in a Series B financing round led by game developer NCSOFT with participation from Corning, Gates Frontier, and LG Tech Ventures, among others.

The funding is set to be utilized to drive productization of the company’s holographic display platform, Solid Light. 

Light Field Lab offers a technology roadmap that aims to merge the real and virtual worlds through its SolidLight holographic displays. The hardware features self-emissive, bezel-less panels that assemble into modular holographic video walls, allowing real digital objects to form in mid-air without the need for headgear. The company has also unveiled “Defy” experiences, which allow users to interact with SolidLight holograms in a full-sensory immersive experience.

Analyst QuickTake: The funding round signals renewed investor interest in the holographic displays segment and follows Accenture’s investment into hologram company, Looking Glass Factory, in February 2023 . This trend of increased activity in the space is further highlighted by the debut of Nextech AR’s “ ARitize Holograms ” in January 2023, allowing users to create, share, and view human holograms on a smartphone device.
