Solid-VUE 솔리드뵐
"Seeing the World in 3D"
South Korean fabless semiconductor company developing solid-state LiDAR sensor SoCs for autonomous vehicles, robotics, and drones.
Solid-VUE (also branded SOLiDVUE) is a South Korean fabless semiconductor startup founded in 2020 and headquartered in Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. The company is Korea's only domestic developer of LiDAR sensor-on-chip (SoC) solutions, focusing on solid-state LiDAR integrated circuits that enable accurate, high-resolution 3D spatial recognition across short, medium, and long detection ranges.
Solid-VUE's core technology centers on CMOS SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) architecture integrated into a single-chip design. This approach eliminates the need for mechanically rotating components found in traditional spinning LiDAR systems, resulting in smaller form factors, lower power consumption, and greater reliability. The company's proprietary image signal processor converts raw photon-count data into precise 3D point clouds suitable for object detection, distance measurement, and scene understanding.
The company's flagship product is the SL-2.2, a high-resolution solid-state LiDAR sensor IC that delivers up to 400x128 pixel 3D resolution, more than doubling the pixel count of competing products available at the time of its release. The SL-2.2 chip is fabricated using a standard CMOS semiconductor process, with a sensor core measuring 0.9 cm x 0.9 cm housed in a compact 1.4 cm x 1.4 cm BGA package. This compact design makes it suitable for integration into automotive perception systems, robotics platforms, drones, and smart-city infrastructure. The SL-2.2 earned a CES 2025 Innovation Award in the vehicle intelligence and transportation category, recognizing its advancement in resolution and integration density.
Solid-VUE also offers time-of-flight (ToF) image sensors and provides custom R&D services for clients developing autonomous driving systems and mobile LiDAR applications. The company is actively building supply-chain and commercialization partnerships ahead of the projected surge in LiDAR demand post-2026, with a small but highly specialized team of approximately six engineers.
