Lochn Optics specializes in the design, manufacturing, and development of virtual display modules for the augmented reality (AR) market. Its primary products are array and diffractive optical waveguide modules, which are core components for AR glasses and headsets. The company serves AR device manufacturers across a wide range of industries, including security, industry, tourism, healthcare, and marketing. Lochn Optics provides turnkey solutions for smart glasses and has engaged in in-depth cooperation with numerous domestic and foreign scientific research institutions. The company's business model is B2B, functioning as a supplier of optical components and modules. They have established a production base equipped for super-precision glass cold processing, optical coating, and nano-imprinting, creating what is described as the only well-equipped AR optical waveguide module production line with stable delivery capacity in China.

The company's product portfolio includes reflective waveguides, diffractive waveguides, optical engines, and prism solutions. One of their key offerings is an array optical module with a 38° field of view, 1920x1080 resolution, and 82% light transmittance. Lochn Optics was the first in China to achieve mass production and batch shipment of array optical waveguides and also possesses the capability to develop grating waveguides. They have also developed a volume holographic waveguide for AR Head-Up Displays (AR-HUD). The company has a significant intellectual property portfolio, with over 170 patent applications and nearly 80 granted by the end of 2021.

Lochn Optics has a substantial funding history, starting with a seed round in 2015.
