MicroLED-based optical interconnect developer Avicena launched an evaluation platform for its microLED optical connectivity using ASIC-based transceivers with integrated LED, photodetector (PD) and micro-lens arrays connected via a multi-core fiber bundle.

Avicena says that the new LightBundle eKit enables hyperscaler, AI accelerator, high-bandwidth memory (HBM), networking, and AI infrastructure architects to evaluate next-generation optical links designed to overcome the bandwidth, reach, routing and energy limitations of copper interconnects in AI systems.

The MicroLED Industry Association (MIA) welcomes its newest member companies - Teradyne and Hongshi Intelligent Technology. The MIA aims to accelerate the adoption of microLED display technologies, bringing together companies, researchers and organizations active in the MicroLED industry and providing an ideal forum for solving common technology issues, fostering cooperation and sharing relevant information, resources and tools.

Teradyne designs, develops, and manufactures automated test equipment and advanced robotics systems. Its test solutions for semiconductors, photonics and electronics products enable Teradyne’s customers to consistently deliver on their quality standards. Its advanced robotics business includes collaborative robots and mobile robots that support manufacturing and warehouse operations for companies of all sizes. The company is leveraging its expertise to help the microLED industry meet the challenges and throughput requirements for testing of microLED microarrays, including microdisplays, with fast, accurate and flexible production-ready solutions.

"Teradyne is thrilled to join the microLED Association! With extensive optical expertise and early involvement in the field, Teradyne looks forward to contributing its production testing expertise, as display technologies evolve".

We are happy to announce that our popular OLED Marketplace website is now offering microLED microdisplays. MicroLEDs. 

The first microLED that is on offer is a 0.12" VGA ultra-high-brightness monochrome display. It is available as either a display panel, or a complete display engine with optics (see image above). Hopefully we will add more panels and modules in the near future.

MicroLED microdisplay developer Mojo Vision, a MicroLED Industry Association member, announced that it has signed a long-term collaboration agreement with Marvell Technology, to develop a new class of microLED based optical interconnect solutions to power high-performance AI data center infrastructure.

Mojo Vision actually signed this agreement a year ago, but only now reported it. Marvell, which was the lead investor in Mojo Vision’s $75 million Series B Prime financing round, brings to this collaboration its connectivity technology portfolio. The solution that the two companies develop will support a variety of AI data center interconnect form factors and applications for hyperscale and cloud data center customers.

Becker Transactions announced a new upcoming sale of an LED packaging patent portfolio, developed and owned by The Netherlands based opto-electronic technology developer CATI B.V. This IP is mostly centered on Floating Chip Solutions (FCS), using liquid metal based low-temperature bonding technology.

According to CATI, this IP can be used in a wide range of applications - including visible, UV and IR LEDs, automotive opto-electronics, flexible electronics, sensors - and microLED displays.

Following two highly successful editions, MicroLED Connect + AR/VR Connect returns for its 3rd year, taking place 16-17 September 2026 at the High Tech Campus, Eindhoven - one of Europe’s leading deep‑tech hubs and the home of cutting‑edge display innovation.

This uniquely co‑located conference and exhibition unites the global MicroLED and immersive‑display community - from researchers and equipment suppliers to device makers, brands, investors, and end users.

Taiwan-based MicroLED developer PlayNitride announced its financial results for 2025, with revenues of $42.5 million USD, down from $55.5 million in 2024. The company's net loss was $3.7 million (down from a profit of $1.9 million in 2024).

In 2025 PlayNitride secured $24.3 million in a convertible bond private placement (the company also raised 800 million NTD in a bonds issue towards the end of 2024).

A few months ago, we reported that Meta is in designing a new AR glasses product, that will be based on microLED panels, replacing the currently-used LCoS displays in the first-generation Meta Ray-Ban Display. Meta is said to aim to launch these microLED AR glasses towards the end of 2027.

Meta will not produce its own microLED, but the company is highly involved in the microLED display development. There's a new job opening at Meta (at Sunnyvale, CA), for an advanced manufacturing engineer to drive the ramp-up of RGB microLED chips at the company's key external partner. 

Belgium-based QD developer and MicroLED Association member QustomDot announced that it is expanding its activities in China as microLED programs advance toward pilot production and volume manufacturing.

The expansion in China includes appointing a local staff member to support technical evaluation, integration activities, and commercial coordination with regional panel makers and equipment partners.
