Digitally-Controlled Pixel-Wise Mastering Technology

At the heart of our offering – and what sets Ceres apart from other companies in this space – is our hologram mastering technology. Now fully industrialised, this capability is fully available to our customers and partners. We offer Ceres’ system design services alongside our unique mastering capability, our deep working knowledge of Bayfol HX^® photopolymer film, and our in-house expertise in photonics and light-guiding solutions.

Design advantage

Ceres transformational mastering technology is used to create master holograms pixel-by-pixel from a computer-generated data set output from our proprietary design flow and toolset. Years of investment, accumulated knowledge, and expertise have delivered unmatched capability to design and deliver the highest specification HOEs for a wide range of optical functions and display applications.

The software controlled master printer is capable of producing the largest area volume holograms in Bayfol HX^® photopolymer. Something not easily done using traditional analogue methods.

The master printer builds master holograms on a pixel-by-pixel basis in sizes ranging from a few square cm up to A2 sheet size. Far in excess of anything possible, on a repeat basis, using traditional analogue recording techniques.

Beyond design, uniformity and quality advantages, the pixel-based approach offers significant advantages in terms of final system flexibility and cost.

Ceres helps customers understand which specific Bayfol HX^® photopolymer variant, thickness, and substrate type is best suited for their specific end application.
