About
Leia Inc. is a Menlo Park, California-based display technology company spun out of HP Labs in 2014, focused on developing glasses-free 3D lightfield display technology for consumer electronics, automotive, and enterprise visual communication applications. Its core technology, LeiaSR, uses a proprietary diffractive backlight layer and AI-driven rendering algorithms to convert 2D and 3D content into an immersive glasses-free 3D visual experience on standard LCD displays — eliminating the need for special glasses, head tracking hardware, or stereoscopic content production pipelines. Leia's technology is designed to be integrated directly into existing display supply chains, enabling smartphone OEMs, automotive Tier 1 suppliers, and enterprise screen manufacturers to add 3D capability without replacing their core display hardware.

About
Applied Materials, Inc. is a Santa Clara, California-based semiconductor and display equipment company — publicly traded on NASDAQ (NASDAQ: AMAT) as an S&P 500 Information Technology component — providing manufacturing equipment, services, and software used to fabricate virtually every chip and advanced display in the world through approximately 35,000 employees serving foundries, integrated device manufacturers, and memory makers in 24 countries. Applied Materials is the world's largest semiconductor equipment company by revenue, supplying deposition (CVD, PVD, ALD), etch, ion implant, chemical mechanical planarization (CMP), metrology and inspection, and advanced packaging equipment to leading chipmakers including TSMC, Samsung, Intel, SK Hynix, and Micron. In fiscal year 2024 (ending October 2024), Applied Materials reported revenue of approximately $27.2 billion, with strong demand driven by leading-edge foundry investments at TSMC and Samsung for AI accelerator chips and advanced memory for HBM (high-bandwidth memory) stacks used in NVIDIA and AMD AI GPUs. The company's Semiconductor Systems segment commands the largest market share of any equipment category, while the Applied Global Services (AGS) segment generates recurring spare parts and service revenue from the installed base of 50,000+ tools operating worldwide. CEO Gary Dickerson has led Applied Materials' strategy of expanding beyond commodity deposition and etch into advanced packaging, gate-all-around transistor manufacturing, and materials engineering — where Applied's breadth of materials deposition capabilities creates competitive differentiation.
