Who we are
Realfiction is an innovative group of Danish operating companies, with a Swedish parent company that is listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market. The group provides world-class IP and knowhow related to its groundbreaking Directional Pixel TechnologyTM (DPT) platform including holographic 3D and Multiview 2D/3D capabilities into LCD, OLED and microLED/LED based display products.
History
After being founded by Peter Simonsen and Clas Dyrholm in 2008, the initial operating company developed several commercially successful mixed reality displays for the retail and expo segments within its Dreamoc product family. This was followed by the listing of the company in 2017 through a Swedish parent company, and the launch of DeepFrame, the world’s largest mixed reality display.
Based on its earlier success, Realfiction was then ready to pursue the long-term goal of the company: to develop a solution for social holographic 3D experiences without having to use special glasses or any other accessories between the eye and the effect. Its groundbreaking DPT platform was invented for this purpose, and it was developed from 2019 to 2023 in collaboration with internationally recognised industry partners.
In 2023, Realfiction completed the first DPT LCD display, as well as demonstrators for an OLED version and a microLED version. DPT is thus compatible with all of the three major display technologies, and all three versions of the platform were presented to potential commercial partners during the CES 2024 week in Las Vegas in January 2024.
In 2024, Realfiction is focused on signing license agreements for its DPT platform with commercial partners in relevant market segments, ranging from home entertainment and cinema to professional use-cases and the automotive industry.

Investors
Listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market since 2017, Realfiction combines a strong track record in the mixed reality display field with exciting high-growth potential, as the company is focusing on signing license agreements for its DPT platform with commercial partners in various industries. Such license agreements could provide Realfiction with substantial, long-term cashflows.
With its DPT platform, the company is well positioned to target the growing 3D display market. According to Global Market Insights, the global industry size of 3D displays is expected to record more than 25% CAGR through 2026 to an annual projected value of 60 billion USD, owing to the application of AR in the healthcare sector and demand for advanced infotainment & safety systems in vehicles. The stereoscopic display segment (which technically would include DPT products) dominated more than 70% of the market share in 2019, and it is anticipated to witness a 27% growth rate through 2026, owing to a surge in demand from gaming, stereoscopic cinema and home entertainment applications.
