Perhaps if you studied what they had done, you would "understand".
Look around AI, look at the demand on the data centers. That data is crunched on silicon using electrons. As it rolls off as electrons Lightwaves polymer lcan triple the speed at which it is converted to photons and send it to the next destination either in the data center or across town to the next city. It does it with 1/10th the power and is 30 times smaller leaving room in cluttered real-estate. It is compatible with Silicon and can be mass produced in existing foundries. It is going to change a lot of things, even the frequency of trading on the stock market.
Two completely different philosophies. The success of the daytraders that I knew was not good. Infact currently I do not know of a single one. But I do know many, many, many that I will see next month that have done well with research buy and hold philosophies. We did get greedy at 20 bucks, but we'll see it again.
The grass always looks greener on the others ideas of the fence. I'd invite you to attend the shareholders' meeting to see why there are so many fat cows on this side of the fence.
Many of us play occasionally with small amounts of money at times, but that not our "goal" it is for amusement only.
So if you are so good at predictions I'll bet you kill it with options, perhaps you could sit down with Lew and bedazzle him with your brilliance.
X.
But wouldn't you agree that the big money owns this, judging from tutes holdings?
Stock looks like it has a virus. All started when X came back from Reddit.
Just put an order in for 10.000 shares. See if it fills today.
Chart Reader, with your extensive 47 years of experience in chart analysis and training from industry experts, could you shed some light on the evolving pattern on the longer time frame, let's say starting from the outbreak of June 2021? Initially, a pole flag emerged (PPS surged from $1.7 to $20). What pattern has been developing since then? IMO it appeared to be a Bull Flag, then transitioned into what seemed like a Bullish Pennant (support line around the $4 mark), now it looks perhaps more like a Falling Wedge? Regardless, all these patterns indicate a strong bullish sentiment, suggesting the potential for an explosive outcome, potentially reaching a PPS of $100+
Could you elaborate what is happening chart wise ... if possible on the longer, medium and shorter time frames ? Thx
Unless its a dividend stock
It's buy shares ..let's say 1200 and use a 3rd of it. 400 shares for flipping.

@vein for goodness sake of youre own emotional state SELLLLL
Been invested since they were working out of the family garage. Way pass patience at this point.
Can we possibly go green today for goodness sake !!
Patience is a virtue
Patience is the wrong word. Patience has nothing to do with TA, other than the fact that one has to wait until buy and sell areas are reached. In TA, there is something that is called "desired" entry and exit points and waiting for them is a necessity.
Thanks for the advice. I already know that though. People always have to be convinced with consistency of knowledge. Being right one time, can be attributed to just pure luck.
Having said that, everything starts with the "first" step.
When is the great ramp up suppose to start ??
2024 is here.
You are not going to get subscribers by trying to convince people it is useful. Everyone knows it can be. The question is whether you are a good one. If you stick around and share your buy/sell signal in the next year, people will know.
Patience is something rare and certainly not for a chart trader.
You are entitled to your opinion!
Unfortunately, the reality is that it matters little what "many people" believe. If the big money does not believe or is not involved, those "many people" will not win.
This is, incontrovertibly, an extremely poor management team (as distinguished from a scientific team). They failed to evolve as the science evolved. They thought that they could make a Tier 1 splash with Lemonade Stand management skills. An error of arrogance. This is one of the most illustrative business school case studies I’ve ever seen - how to take a great product and destroy its commercial potential through sheer managerial incompetence.
Problems:
- No competent CEO
- No competent CFO
- No competent PR team that can simplify the science for the market
- No heavyweight sales team that can engage and sell to potential customers
- No competent communication team to handle shareholder communications in an SEC regulated environment
- The absence of a global accounting firm as auditors ………
See slide 8 to understand that Lebby's perfectly ON-TIME for the leading edge of 800gbs implementation into the DC's, the chart shows in YELLOW that only Google and Amazon have any 800gbs installations currently, while Micrsoft and Meta have none to-date
https://api.mziq.com/mzfilemanager/v2/d/307dbc8b-e212-48ba-9968-8cef3f6b5188/cfe8be05-ce41-6208-b717-33e542d3eb77?origin=2
The ramp of 800gbs will begin in the 2nd half of 2024, and this is EXACTLY coincident to the TIMELINE of Lebby/LWLG has been showing these past few years in his presentations!! Everything is falling into place perfectly just as Lebby planned!!! The Tier 1' are flocking in droves to LWLG now that Lebby has the 200gb solution in hand being mass produced on 200mm Wafers at several large Foundries!!!
LD MICRO REPLAY NOW AVAILABLE!!!!
https://ldinv14.sequireevents.com/recording?session_id=7c04c9bb-df53-4ece-9dce-3d27956fe60e
In short: reliability testing is no more a concern for the tier 1´s
https://stocktwits.com/JoeriGoethuys/message/570255316
Spekkie said, When I asked whether the products were ready and if any issues were outstanding, he (Lebby) clearly said that everything was ready (stability, scaling etc) and the time line was fully intact and there were no changes to that. Tier 1’s are very interested and the number of them significantly increased after OFC demo’s.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174302051
The fact that the reliability testing is no longer a concern for the Tier 1's to do business with LWLG is HUGE HUGE HUGE, this has been the #1 issue that has plagued Polymer commercialization for its 40 year history!! And yes I have confirmation from multiple sources that this is truly the case now!! Investors already had known how ironclad the data had become from the recent presentations slides presented at ECOC in late 2023 and then again even more so at the OFC in March 2024!!!
Lebby LD Micro was an incredible presentation using these Slides, here were my takeaways, the replay should be available soon
1) ETH Zurich has set independent 3rd party world record performance with LWLG Polymers running at 400Gbs per lane enabling 4 lane 1600gbs!!!
2) The Customer Funnel slide is updated and now showing greater than 20 Prospects and greater than 10 Leads, where in the ASM presentation it was only greater than 12 Prospects and 5 Leads, so about DOUBLED since the ASM!!!!
3) Lebby showed the 200mm wafers and talked again how LWLG is commercial ready for mass commercialization of 800gbs, remember Lebby has LWLG implementing at SEVERAL large Foundries!!
4) Lebby showed that Perk 6 is NOW ready for Licensing !!!
5) Lebby expects much more Licensing activity in 2024 forward
6) Lebby again pounded the table on the "ease of Integration" and how you simply drop the LWLG technology into those little pluggable boxes!!
7) Lebby also said that the PULL has become so great at this point instead of being "pulled along" it feels more like we are being "dragged along"!!
The April 2024 Investor Slides are up on the LWLG website, here
https://api.mziq.com/mzfilemanager/v2/d/307dbc8b-e212-48ba-9968-8cef3f6b5188/683426d1-5a08-bc3a-6df3-ce127bd5ef17?origin=2
Replays become available around a week after the event as the videos require editing in some cases and also the uploading process takes some time.
Once available, you will see the "replay" button next to the company name in the agenda at https://ldinv14.sequireevents.com/.

Of course you don't . When the stock drops under 2 and your P&L is in the pits, you will go about the day thinking of the Vulcan and the twinkle in his eye. If you did not care about the manipulation , share price,etc., why would you post on this board. Always love when a stock is getting driven into the ground and the carefree shareholder does not have any worries. You are full of ****.
This company has no idea on how to bolster the share price. A CEO who changes his tune when the narrative fits and an imbecile who hurts the share price by using a crappy partner to obtain funding. You would like the share price much higher when releasing a blockbuster PR(2030) so that it can take off. A stock driven by news when it is trading in the 2's might hit 5 before the enthusiasm wears off.
@vein Sell now, it is much better for your emotional state and everyone reading here if you do not wine anymore
I do have a lot jan 2025 💥
Chart reader , again , MANY people believe in the company and its technology and value, I do not take the price, the manipulation, the rumors, the shorts into account and I simply hold the shares. This has already yielded a lot for me on several occasions.
Everything else is BS to me.
“Interesting to see when the EOP chapter comes out” once again you prove your ignorance. The EOP chapter was out last week. We know you are not a gambler and that’s why you sold at 1$
Stop responding to my posts and proving me correct every time.
I will pray for you
Yes you are correct. The point remains valid. Interesting to see when the EOP chapter is released. Years away if something else doesn’t come along or there are issues EOP can’t overcome. Lots of risk still baked into this one. If you’re a gambler I understand your position. I’m not a gambler.
#scam
If you actually read it the release from IPSR today was about InP
This blind hate of yours … it must be painful
I feel bad for you
I hope you don’t have a heart attack when the news hits
Stay safe
LWLG Eliminates Power Hungry & Expensive Driver Chip!!!
Lebby quote came from the Wall Street Transcript Interview (TWST) with Dr. Lebby - August 17, 2023
TWST: So you’re looking at value pricing, where the part might be more expensive, but you’re providing more performance and using less power, and as a result it’s going to be less expensive.
Dr. Lebby: Also, you’re saving the customer architectural IC designs. You don’t need driver chips and they are really expensive, way more than what a device would cost. And so, you’re providing that advantage to network operators.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=172679450First
What Lebby told investors in that interview is that the cost of the device, ie the 4x200 PIC Modulator Array chip is LESS than the cost of the Driver(s) that it ELIMINATES!!! And folks, LWLG's technology is the ONLY Next-Gen technology that CAN ELIMINATE the Driver(s)!!!!
Also let's not forget that the Driver(s) is/are power hungry, I know when I asked Bard it responded that it accounted for 40% of the power usage on 8x100 800Gbs and perhaps that is/was high but regardless the Driver(s) is/are known as being a big power user in the Transceiver so if you can eliminate the Driver(s) you are saving a lot of power!!
So what's that worth to the Transceiver companies? you guessed it.... A WHOLE LOT!!!
with Cisco, Intel, Google, Ciena as LWLG Customers I wouldn't want to be stuck holding the Old Maid "Short" card when Lebby drops additional Licensing and Tech Transfer Agreements in 2024!!
there are 22 Million++ Shorts holding that Old Maid card currently!!
TWST: Do you see your ideal customers like Cisco or whoever makes these particular modulation devices? Are they the ones who are going to buy?
Dr. Lebby: Yes, they will — a lot of these larger companies. The Ciscos of this world as well as the Intels and the Cienas, these types of players, Googles and others. A lot of these folks are actually vertically integrated. So they actually do a lot of the things themselves. And some of the parts they send out to foundries or to contract manufacturers.
https://www.reddit.com/r/LWLG/comments/15twmqr/interview_with_dr_lebby_august_17_2023/
Folks, these are pretty bold statements by Lebby, and Lebby is one of the top Luminaries of the photonics Industry, personally I would NOT want to bet against him!!!
Investors have learned INCREDIBLE Developments in 2024 so far!!! here is a summary of things investors have learned form OFC in March 2024, and Lebby's LD Micro Interview in April, as well as Lebby's Belgium visit/presentations in April
1) Lebby has LWLG modulators being implemented at SEVERAL large Foundries on 200mm Wafers now beginning in early 2024!! Lebby declared it a "BIG MILESTONE"!!!
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174278606
2) Lebby has achieved Volume Scale Poling on 200mm Wafers!!! (successfully able to Pole Thousands of Devices at a time!!)
3) Lebby's LWLG team of seven completed demonstrations at OFC to over 20 potential Customers!! NDA's now estimated at 40 companies
4) the response to the OFC demos has been so overwhelming that Lebby claims the Tier 1's "being PULLED along" has become more like "being dragged along" (a good problem to have!!!)
Spekkie posted this
, Important take away we are working with multiple tier ones, tripled since a few weeks after OFC , wow we are golden
5) The Customer Funnel slide is updated and now showing greater than 20 Prospects and greater than 10 Leads, where in the ASM presentation it was only greater than 12 Prospects and 5 Leads, so about DOUBLED since the ASM!!!!
6) at OFC Google had a shout out to (LWLG) EOP on their slide for hetero integration.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174276893
7) KCC reported "the transceiver partner is a giant company that is dedicating a lot of their own resources to LWLG’s development."
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174279401
8) Lebby also showcased that LWLG's Perk 6 is NOW ready and available for Licensing !!!
9) Lebby reported that 3rd party ETH Zurich set world record performance with LWLG Polymers running at 400Gbs per lane enabling 4 lane 1600gbs!!! This ensures LWLG ALREADY capable to meet the future Roadmap
10) The response from the Tier 1's is so overwhelming such that Lebby is 100% focused on SEVERAL Tier 1's who are battling it out for Lebby/LWLG's time and attention to bring 4x200 powered Transceivers to market ASAP!!
Folks this is a Cinderella story 40 years in the making!!!
For OVER 40 YEARS the Industry has tried UNSUCCESSFULLY!!
IBM, Intel, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, DuPont, AT&T Bell Labs, Honeywell, Motorola, GE, HP, 3M, and others in addition to numerous Universities and U.S. Government Agencies, DARPA, DOD, etc have all attempted to produce high-performance, high-stability electro-optic polymers
The Industry combined has spent literally in the Billions R&D $$ UNSUCCESSFULLY trying to do what LWLG has done!
LWLG's technology has been successfully developed in much less time than what the Industry spent, and at a cost less than 5% of what the Industry spent screwing around with unstable fragile molecules for 40 years!
RIDDLE ME THIS >> WHY WOULD THE INDUSTRY SPEND BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF $$ ON SOMETHING THEY DIDN'T DESPERATELY WANT???????

Had to grab some call options today, couldn't resist. Anyone else?
Great, now we have a new face, the great Chart Reader to blow up the board.
Charts don’t matter on this stock, if you are an investor. What matters is going through the process involved to license Perkinamine, and have transceiver company(s) produce great transceivers with Lightwave’s EOP modulators with sales to data centers. When significant revenue begins, the share price goes off your chart.
To ignore you go, bye!
Ha. He made 200,000 over 10 years on 5,000 because he pissed
Away any money he may have made.
Too funny.
Another lying salesman
By the way i dont believe we will break down
From the trading below the former 52 week low of 3.78.
I believe it is head fake. Back above 4. Soon
Lurker posted 18 times today.
Another sign of a bottom.
I laugh at these idiots
You are correct...only we feel that tomorrow news will come out, charts are wonderful. It says people are buying or selling..those that look into the co ignore,the chart, that says a particular co is Not selling bathing suits,
for in their head it is summer time ,
bathing suits will be sold ,a FACT .
The fact that the chart says THIS co IS NOT selling them,is irrelevant, we can't believe, it, for its summer time and bathing suits sell,
Charts keep you grounded..very rarely do stock shoot up, usually when news comes out ,their is time to still get in early
Imo
Xena,
I asked you once not to message me in private. I dont want to engage with you at all. Pls take your conspiracy theories somewhere else but out of my inbox. I dont want to be a member of your conspiracy board. So stop solliciting.
I hope you finally got the message
Chart reader,
Xena can only post 1 time per day. So be prepared that tomorrow she will argue, manipulation, mm, cabal, shorters all in one big conspiracy.
Not clear to you?
There is no magical formula but if you do not have a clear game plan, you will be lost (deep in the "mud"). Computers and algorithms have a program they follow religiously as they are not there to speculate/assume/know what is going to happen. Nonetheless, if they do not make more money than they lose, they will be out of business fast.
Charts that have support and resistance levels are clearly defined and MA's also. As such, they are "automatic" buyers at those support levels and "automatic" sellers at those resistance levels, as well as the MA levels, though I have learned that the one they use the most is the 200 MA. This way, they can trade with small risk. If the support level breaks, they get out of the trade with a small loss and if the stock moves up from support to resistance, they get out with a profit, meaning that at least most of the time they make more than they lose. That is a "general and common sense" way of trading that keeps them in business and with investors buying their system.
What is unclear (mud) about that?
This is what I am expecting at this year's ASM especially when Bernie "Lebby" Madoff is speaking. That's if he even decides to show up and face his disgruntled shareholders who have been hoodwinked out of their hard earned money!!!!!
1) STANDING OVATION
2) STANDING OVATION
3) STANDING OVATION
4) STANDING OVATION
5) STANDING OVATION
I just hope DiscountedSharesX, ProtoPuppet, XenaKnowsNothing, and RfkMoron are there so I can laugh in their face. It will be money well spent!!!!!
SCOREBOARD...$3.63
I HAVE "NEVER" BEEN WRONG!!!!!
STICKY THIS POST!!!!!
Clue-4-U...
390 minutes in each trading day.
" I have learned that established support and resistance levels and the 200 10-minute/daily/weekly/monthly MA's are what works for me. It is what the computers and algorithms use."
This is as clear as mud....
The truth is that there is no magical formula... When AI controls the magical formula is up to the programmer.
Dont say that. The majority thinks that there is no competition and that lwlg is the only one that will supply the industry.
Paying the 30k bonus of lebby. Damn we have a plus of 13k netto profit. I am raising the flag 🤣
Don't try to sell yourself, then folks may believe you. Lead from the front, the next dishonest dollar I make will be my first.
As always make them successful, then you will have actual weight in what you say. We are not always right but honestly is the best policy. Never take advantage of anyone.
TH, for shame don't loose your
standing, whatever. I'd be ashamed.
X
Amen bro life is what you make it. Money is just something to do.
You are welcome to my humble abode anytime.
Best.
X
Let see what would come out from next month ASM first.
A lot could happen in one or two years span under current fierce competition in chips industry due to sanctions.
Finally! Revenues! $40,502. Could we have had more revenues in the 1st quarter, than for the entire 2023 year? Relatively speaking, revenue wise, the percentage increases, could be very exciting! (thought you all could use some humor)
Can we replace Ted's sticky with this? Much more concise lol.
The sooner the better. Its all in lwlg's hands. We can only laugh about the current situation. Lmao insanity protection

The need for Lightwave Logic’s proprietary electro-optic polymers is more evident than at any prior point in history, with internet infrastructure coming under increasing strain due to increased online activity. For example, during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, leading platforms such as YouTube prevented high-definition (HD) streaming in Europe due to data throughput issues in existing internet infrastructure.
The Company’s current focus is on the datacom and telecommunications hardware supply chain for the 100 Gbps and 400 Gbps fiber optics communications market, seeking to integrate its proprietary materials into the devices that comprise key components in today’s internet infrastructure. Lightwave Logic’s unique value proposition, including ease of manufacture relative to traditional solutions, has driven several tier-1 and tier-2 potential strategic partners in the data and telecommunications markets to enter into non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with Lightwave Logic to evaluate its technology for use in their devices, validating the demand for the Company’s solution in the marketplace. The Company expects to introduce its technology into the commercial marketplace in the near future.
Lightwave Logic is a wholly U.S.-based company with in-house materials synthesis, device/package design, wafer fabrication and testing capabilities at its Englewood, Colorado headquarters.
Having the modulator and integrated circuit development in-house has informed the materials development direction and vice versa. This vertically integrated business model enables a superior platform by aligning the design for manufacturability from materials to complex circuits with the following benefits:
Materials are called electro-optic when they enable interactions between applied electric fields and light passing through them. Notably, they change the refractive index seen by the light with minimum loss. The result is an instantaneous and accurate conversion of an electrical signal to an optical signal. Optical signals are better for transmission over distance: an increasingly useful feature as digital signal speeds are now reaching the GHz and THz ranges and the corresponding electrical transmission distances are shrinking to meters and centimeters.
EO polymers are intrinsically superior in speed and sensitivity to electric field to traditional electro-optic materials such as Lithium Niobate, Indium Phosphide and Silicon. They are engineered materials, made by embedding a variety of specially designed electro-optic chromophore molecules into a wide range of standard host polymers.
Chromophores are complex, large molecules, on a scale akin to drug molecules. They are hyperpolarizable, meaning their electron clouds are easily pulled into a different shape by the applied electric field, changing their optical properties such as index of refraction.
The material is poled to become electro-optic by applying a strong electric field along with heat. The hot material is relatively soft, allowing the chromophore molecules suspended in the host polymer to align in the same direction (poling). Cooling the poled material after the molecules are in place traps them in their active state even after the poling field is removed.
Although the electrons in the material respond to any applied electric field, they remain tightly bound to the molecule. The response to an applied signal is almost instantaneous response and recovery– like that of a tight spring– unlike materials that involve much slower macroscopic movement of free electrons.
Another key difference from traditional crystalline materials is the performance of EO polymers continues to improve as chemists explore the almost unlimited design space. Combinations of chromophores and host polymers can be tailored for specific applications.
In addition to innovating the EO polymer materials, Lightwave Logic takes its technology platform to the next level by developing ancillary materials and processes. These elements are brought together and demonstrated in advanced high-speed optical modulators.
The polymer is spun onto silicon wafers and standard microfabrication techniques are used to deposit and pattern metal electrodes and optical waveguides.
One well-known optical modulator device is the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The light output is changed by changing the relative phase between the two arms. One common trick to double the effect for the same available drive voltage is to drive the two arms in opposite directions (push-pull mode). Polymers have an interesting advantage over most other electro-optic materials which are crystalline. The direction of polymer’s electro-optic activity is entirely determined by the direction of the applied poling field. By poling the two arms of the Mach-Zehnder in opposite directions, the resulting device automatically has push-pull operation with a single applied signal.
Once the modulator chip is made, it is packaged for mechanical protection and also to ensure signal quality for electrical and optical connections.
Below is a polymer optical modulator with >60 GHz bandwidth packaged with high-speed electrical connectors and optical pigtails.
Inspired by the remarkable record of integrated microelectronics, the opto-electronics industry has great interest in developing photonic integrated circuits (PICS). Photonics refers to devices that manipulate photons—that is, light—rather than electrons.
Even the best individual devices can be made more functional by integrating many together. Integration has many benefits, the most notable being dramatic improvements in size and cost. Yet, photonic integration has only recently come into the spotlight. The primary applications for photonics used to require stand-alone, high performance components such as used for long-haul telecom.
Now, photonic integration has suddenly come into the spotlight as electronic interconnects struggle to keep up with speed increases of electronic chips. Photonics is being looked at to replace electronics in already highly integrated applications such as chip interconnect. Co-packaging of electronics integrated circuits (ICs) with photonic interconnect, considered unlikely a few years ago, is now viewed by many as inevitable. However, this requirement poses new challenges that are acknowledged as difficult and that new technologies will be required to meet them.
P2IC™ (Polymer Photonic Integrated Circuits) are ideally positioned to be one of these new technologies. Lightwave Logic’s devices are made using conventional wafer-scale processing such as used for microelectronics and therefore similarly capable of being integrated. In addition, the polymer microfabrication processes are compatible with other materials platforms such as Silicon Photonics and Indium Phosphide which are now starting to become more integrated. In particular, the Silicon Photonics ecosystem has recently accepted that its roadmap will include adding more and more materials, each for their specific benefits. EO polymers’ speed and voltage advantages are attractive additions to this ecosystem.
A fiber link sends data from a transmitter to a receiver through an optical fiber cable. Lightwave Logic’s technology can be used to make a data modulator, a central function of the transmitter.
Datacenters and high-performance computing (HPC) are two market segments that demand the very highest speed optical fiber communications. The datacenter fiber communications segment includes applications ranging from connections inside hyperscale datacenters to fiber links between datacenter campuses.
Optical fiber communication is the infrastructure that supports internet content through its entire lifecycle, between businesses, consumers and datacenters. Behind the scenes, massive amounts of data move between computer processors inside datacenters (or inside supercomputers) as content is generated. In addition to these intra-datacenter links, there are also significant datacenter interconnection links between big datacenters to provide flexible capacity and resilience – all of these represent significant addressable market segments for Lightwave Logic’s technology.
Modulator performance limits the speed of the transmitter, which in turn limits the data-carrying capacity of the entire fiber link. EO polymers have superior speed and sharply reduce the electrical power needed to operate the modulators.
Lightwave Logic estimates that in 2019, the total market for opto-electronic components used in the fiber optics market reached a value of ~$26 billion and is forecasted to grow to approximately $80 billion by 2030.

The growth in the optical fiber communications market is driven by many factors, primarily:
The historic trend has been a migration from text to graphics, followed by still graphics to increasingly high-definition video. On the accessibility front, the introduction of 5G will enable low-cost mobile internet connections at the same, or higher speeds, as today’s home broadband. This trend continues today as users demand more data at all times.
Recently, particularly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a sharp increase in reliance on video-conferencing services, often replacing in-person meetings. As video conferencing becomes more commonly used, users will continue to demand faster response times to enable no-lag, real-time communications in full HD.
The benefits of EO polymers, such as low power usage, high speed, increased throughput and lower cost make them ideally suited for markets outside of communications as well, including in consumer, media, augmented reality/virtual reality, medical and industrial applications.
