'''Cogni Trax''' is a company related to hard edge occlusion for optical see through displays. It is based in Silicon Valley.

It is a display photonics startup company focusing on unique visual experience for AR smart glasses applications.

The technology is called Alpha Pix. It uses at least one [[SLM]] and [[quarter wave plate]] to cancel out light.<ref name="d988">{{cite web | title=Method and System for Occlusion Capable Compact Displays | url=https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/c7/36/7a/0a27b9c7a2d8ff/US10983355.pdf | access-date=2024-05-23}}</ref>

Their technology uses at least one SLM and quarter wave plate to cancel out light.

Alpha Pix uses a [[catadioptric combiner]] in a thin form factor. Alpha Pix only shows the color black.

Alpha Pix controls per-pixel transparency in the virtual image plane, so it is possible to display virtual imagery in a black color. It can hard-edge occlude physical objects in the real background scene, making the generated black content visible even in direct sun-lit environments.

Alpha Pix is an ultra-low power spatial compute platform developed by Cogni Trax. It uses less power than [[waveguide]]-based augmented reality displays. Alpha Pix is designed like a smartphone camera. It uses light from the ambient scene in the user’s surroundings thereby not requiring power needed for new photon generation and only consumes about 70mW of power. The Alpha Pix CMOS display panel is designed like a smartphone camera, where the imaging lens is integrated directly on the CMOS panel. Moreover, employing a [[catadioptric combiner]] allows a compact folded optical path enabling very high optical efficiency ranging from 25-75% thereby reducing power consumption.  

Their Alpha Pix platform demonstrates a world first catadioptric combiner in a thin form factor for AR smart glasses. Thanks to Cogni Trax’ patented Alpha Pix technology that controls per-pixel transparency in the virtual image plane, virtual objects and holograms in a black color can now be realized. These black holograms can hard-edge occlude physical objects in the real background scene, making content visibility possible even in direct sun-lit environments.

In total, it consumes about 70mW of power.

Alpha Pix is patented.

The Alpha Pix CMOS display panel is designed like a smartphone camera, where the imaging lens is integrated directly on the CMOS panel. Alpha Pix uses a catadioptric combiner, which allows a compact folded optical path that enables optical efficiency between 25 percent and 75 percent.

 

Alpha Pix technology is patented in U.S. patent US10983355B2.
