GaN-on-Silicon monolithic full HD microLED bonded displays
Embedded technologies developer at the forefront of microLED technology for augmented and mixed reality (AR/MR) display applications, Plessey, has announced a significant milestone in the development of its monolithic microLED displays alongside its backplane partner, Jasper Display Corp (JDC).
Partnership to develop next generation AR products
Supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, Vuzix, and Plessey have announced a display device design and long-term supply agreement. This agreement will support the development and production of next-generation AR products and solutions that combine Plessey’s microLED light source technology with Vuzix’ expertise and IP in smart glasses and essential optics technologies.
microLED displays closer to commercialisation
As reported in Yole Développement (Yole) ‘microLED Displays 2018 report’, microLED Display technologies are improving rapidly. The report underlines the progresses made over the 18 month period preceding its release, nevertheless, many challenges remain. Last month, a variety of companies presented new microLED displays prototypes at Las Vegas CES.
Partnership to shrink full-colour microLED pixels by 87%
A partnership has been announced between Plessey Semiconductors and Nanoco Technologies to shrink the pixel size of monolithic microLED displays using Nanoco’s cadmium free quantum dot (CFQD quantum dots) semiconductor nanoparticle technology. Using its existing monolithic process, Plessey will integrate the Nanoco CFQD quantum dots into selected regions of blue LED wafers to add red and green light.
AR/VR glasses powered by microLEDs
It has been announced by Plessey that visitors to its booth at CES 2019 will be the first to wear AR and VR glasses powered by microLEDs. The next generation of Vuzix smart glasses will be demonstrated using technology that ditches OLEDs in favour of microLED displays. Vuzix is the first company to present Plessey’s microLEDs in action for AR applications.
MicroLED display technology for AR lands CES 2019 honour
Developer of optoelectronic technology, Plessey, has announced that it has been named a CES 2019 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Embedded Technologies category. The company has been recognised for its monolithic microLED displays, which reportedly deliver greater light output, better contrast and improved resolution in AR applications.
Driving GaN-on-Silicon monolithic microLED technology for AR
Developer of optoelectronic technology solutions, Plessey, is collaborating with EV Group (EVG), a supplier of wafer bonding and lithography equipment, to bring high-performance GaN-on-Silicon (GaN-on-Si) monolithic microLED technology to the mass market. microLEDs are a key optical technology for next-generation AR applications.
MiniLED adoption first driven by LCD displays
The excitement about microLEDs has grown since Apple acquired technology startup Luxvue in 2014. All major display makers have now invested in the technology and other semiconductor or hardware companies such as Intel, Facebook Oculus and Google have joined the pool. Amidst this flurry of news and activity, a new term emerged in early 2017: miniLED.
Enhancing microLED display innovation
Plessey has announced that it has placed an order for its next reactor from AIXTRON SE, the provider of deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry. The AIX G5+C metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) reactor will boost Plessey’s manufacturing capability of gallium nitride on silicon (GaN-on-Si) wafers targeting next-generation microLED applications.
Tailored backplane for monolithic microLED displays
Plessey Semiconductors has announced a strategic partnership with Jasper Display Corp (JDC). Plessey is going to utilise JDC’s innovative silicon backplane to drive its own monolithic microLED displays manufactured on its proprietary GaN-on-Silicon (GaN-on-Si) wafers.Unveiled by JDC earlier this year at CES in Las Vegas, the eSP70 silicon backplane is tailored for the needs of microLED devices.
