Transmitting data and power wirelessly is common, but not in shielded environments through metal. That’s a game-changer. TDK’s Acoustic Data Link is built upon our expertise in piezoceramic technology to enable wireless, non-invasive, battery-free operation of multiple sensors inside a Faraday cage. At our booth, you witnessed this innovation in action. 

Augmented & Virtual Reality –— Making Augmented Surgical Assistance a Reality

Think AR/VR technologies are big and bulky? TDK’s direct retinal projection technology is disruptive. With an ultra-small color laser module, it delivers a 1,080-pixel resolution and a larger field of view directly onto the eye’s retina. Therefore, users see the image regardless of the gaze direction, making applications like augmented surgical assistance a reality.

Sustainable Energy –— Harvesting Power for Stand-Alone Devices
