{27}------------------------------------------------
R&D – "Increased focus on innovation" -
But still high load related to customer pre-sales support

- Reference designs
- AR/MR applications, laptop and industrial machine vision.
- Position the company to meet the upcoming need for auto focus (AF) in various AR/MR applications and gain a stronger foothold in the machine vision segment by offering.
- Lead free TLens® & next gen TLens®
- Some major OEMs may prefer not to use products containing lead.
- Today's TLens® uses pzt, which contains a small amount of lead, although well within permitted limits.
- First samples of a lead-free TLens® may be ready towards the end of the year.
- Promising & but challenging may open new high-volume opportunities for the company.
- Bigger TLens®
- Less focused lately, other higher priority and performance mapping understood.
- Concepts developed can fit some markets, predominant professional markets.
- TWedge®
- Sampling customers.
- Next gen. tech. sample designed, optimized for manufacturing and mechanical dimensions.
- Final specification for a potential product for mass production to be locked.
High market activity still drive extensive pre-sales technical customer support load
