MiniLED and MicroLEDs at Touch Taiwan
At least three companies will be at Touch Taiwan to showcase new miniLED and microLED devices: AUO, Innolux and Lextar. Here’s a summary of what each expects to show. Most of the miniLED activity is focused on backlights for improved performance or direct-view applications, while the microLED efforts are direct-view displays. AUO says they will […]
A Different Way of Looking at LED Developments
When considering the trends in LEDs, we often divide our discussion in to categories like microLED, miniLED and Narrow Pixel Pitch (NPP) LED. Let me throw out the idea of discussing trends based upon the final display backplane technology. The four categories I suggest are silicon, transparent, PCB (printed circuit board) and flexible. Below are […]
A Visit to Plessey Semiconductor
Who is Plessey Semiconductor, you may ask? This does not sound like a display company, but it is. Based in Plymouth, UK, Plessey Semiconductor is developing wafer-scale microLEDs ideally suited for AR, VR and HUD applications, but with the right mass-transfer technique, may also be suitable for larger, direct-view displays as well. On a recent […]
Lumenari Developing Wide Color Gamut Phosphor Materials
by Chris Chinnock, Insight Media One of the most popular ways to achieve a wide color gamut LCD display is with narrow-band red and green phosphors deposited directly on top of blue LEDs to create the LED backlight unit. Now, a new company, Lumenari, has developed a new and narrower green phosphor that can expand […]
iBeam Materials Working on GaN-on-Metal Process for LEDs
by Chris Chinnock, Insight Media One of the more interesting presentation at the recent Display Summit (proceedings available soon), was a paper from Vladimir Matias at iBeam Materials. His company works closely with Sandia National Labs where they leveraged thin metal foil technology used for superconductors to develop a novel microLED approach called GaN-on-Metal. This […]
Nanophotonica Making Nice Strides in EL-QD Solution
Nanophotonica is a company that has already gotten the attention of many display developers, but they have not been too visible beyond their development partners so far. That may be changing as I recently had a chance to talk with Chris Morton, CEO of the company. They appear to be doing some impressive work in […]
