Ratson Morad Has Spent a Career Turning Difficult Physics Into Repeatable Manufacturing
Before smartglasses, Ratson Morad worked on MRI systems, 300 mm wafer tools and solar modules. The industries changed; his practical question did not: how do you make difficult technology reliably, repeatedly and at scale?
DigiLens Inc.
DigiLens is a Silicon Valley optics company that designs, manufactures, and licenses holographic waveguide displays - the transparent, printed lenses that let augmented reality smartglasses overlay digital information onto the real world. Founded in 2003 as SBG Labs around a switchable Bragg grating technology, the company pairs its proprietary CrystalClear photopolymer with an inkjet-printing and holographic contact-copy process it argues can scale AR optics to consumer price points. Alongside licensing its optics to manufacturers, DigiLens builds ARGO, a standalone AR/XR smartglasses platform aimed at enterprise and industrial workers, and counts Samsung, Sony, Continental, and Niantic among its investors.
