The agreement brings together Magic Leap’s waveguide expertise and Pegatron’s advanced manufacturing capabilities.
AUSTIN, Texas—Magic Leap recently announced it signed an agreement with the global electronics manufacturer Pegatron to collaborate on the production of components for augmented reality (AR) glasses. Under the agreement, Pegatron will leverage its high-volume manufacturing capabilities to support the scaled production of Magic Leap’s AR components, including its waveguides, according to a release from Magic Leap.
The collaboration is reported to bridge Magic Leap’s advanced optical innovation with Pegatron’s manufacturing readiness. Magic Leap’s waveguides are designed to deliver high visual performance in wearable form factors, supporting high resolution and brightness within lightweight AR glasses designs. Pegatron’s experience in producing complex, high-precision components at scale provides a strong foundation for translating these designs into manufacturable systems, the release stated.
“This agreement reflects a shared focus on meeting demand for advanced AR components,” said Jade Meskill, senior vice president of product and partner development at Magic Leap, in a statement. “By combining our optical and systems expertise with Pegatron’s manufacturing depth, we’re creating a clear path to bring AR components to market at scale.”
Magic Leap has spent more than a decade developing waveguide technology and optical components purpose-built for AR wearables, with a focus on manufacturability and performance. Its approach integrates optical design, materials science, and process engineering to address the industry challenges of miniaturization, power efficiency, and visual quality—critical requirements for next-generation AR glasses.
Beyond waveguides, Magic Leap’s component portfolio includes optics technologies and display systems expertise designed to work together as part of a complete AR system. This agreement with Pegatron is said to create opportunities to align these technologies with production processes that meet the reliability, yield, and volume requirements of commercial devices.
“This collaboration reflects the growing maturity of the AR ecosystem,” said Jason Cheng, vice chairman at Pegatron, in the release. “By combining Magic Leap’s component-level expertise with Pegatron’s manufacturing infrastructure, we can support more efficient pathways from development to production.”
