The MicroLED Industry Association will host an online meeting on June 16, 2025, with a focus on red microLED emission, one of the key challenges towards mass microLED adoption.

This first-of-its-kind panel meeting will take a deep look into red microLED emission. The several potential paths towards a commercial red microLED will be discussed: native GaN red, color conversion, color-tunable LEDs and 3D GaN Nanowires.

Researchers from France's CEA Leti have reported on the successful integration of organic photodetectors within microLED displays, to create a multifunctional display, that can combine imaging with gesture recognition, and even biometric scanning.

As microLEDs are extremely bright, it is possible to create displays with very high aperture ratio (compared to other displays such as LCDs and OLEDs) which frees up space on the display panel. 

Today we published a new edition of our Transparent MicroLED and OLED Market Report, with all the latest information and updates from this interesting upcoming industry and market, including the new prototypes and displays recently unveiled by microLED and OLED developers.

Reading this report, you'll learn all about:

• Transparent OLED and MicroLED properties and advantages
• The transparent OLED and MicroLED industry
• What kind of transparent OLEDs are currently on the market
• The transparent OLED lighting market

The report package also provides:

• Transparent OLED display product listing
• A guide into buying transparent OLEDs
• The main challenges towards transparent displays
• Free updates for a year

This transparent displays market report provides a great introduction to transparent OLED and MicroLED technologies and covers everything you need to know about the market and industry now and in the future. This is a great guide for anyone who's thinking about adopting transparent displays in their products or that wants to understand this industry and market throughout.

Two days ago we reported that TCL CSoT demonstrated new microLED displays at Displayweek 2025, and now the company shared more details about all of the microLEDs it demonstrated.

So first up, we have the world's smallest microLED microdisplay- at just 0.05-inches. The display offers a resolution of 256x86 (5080 PPI), with a 5 micron pitch. The display is a monochrome green color, with a brightness that exceeds 4 million nits. TCL says that the CMOS backplane is highly efficient, and the total power consumption of the display is below 10 mW.

Earlier this month, LED screen designer and producer Nanolumens announces a strategic partnership with AUO Display Plus, to co-develop microLED large-format displays. Now the two companies announced that next month at InfoComm 2025 they will demonstrate the first commercial display developed as part of this partnership

The display, called the SeeThrµ Transparent MicroLED Display is a transparent microLED display that offers up to 60% transparency. There are no more details available, but if this will be based on AUO's 60-inch transparent microLED display, it will feature a 1920x1080 resolution and up to 600 nits of brightness. 

3D Nanowire MicroLED developer Aledia launched its new FlexiNOVA product-ready epiwafer platform, saying that first samples will be available for customers in the second half of 2025, in both 6V and 9V variants.

FlexiNOVA microLED wafers will be offered to display makers to be integrated into full displays, targeting applications such as wearables, automotive displays, TVs and monitors. The FlexiNOVA platform offers high flexibility in chip size, shape, and power usage. 

Avicena, a developer of microLED-based chip-to-chip interconnects, announced that it has secured its Series B funding round, raising $65 million. Avicena raised a total of $120 million to date. 

The B round was led by Tiger Global and other participating VCs include Maverick Silicon, Prosperity7 Ventures, Venture Tech Alliance, SK hynix, Cerberus Capital Management, Hitachi Ventures and Lam Research. The company says it will use the new funds to further scale its team and ramp our first product into production. 

At Displayweek 2025, TCL CSoT demonstrated several new microLED displays. The most interesting one seems to be the world's smallest microLED microdisplay at 0.05-inch. The display offers a density of 5080 PPI, and a brightness of 4 million nits. This is the first time TCL shows a microLED microdisplay.

TCL also showed a large format display, a 219-inch 5760x1440 120Hz tiled display. The company did not disclose any technical specifications. The company also showed a microLED display designed for automotive HUD applications, that offers a brightness of up to 45,000 nits and a wide FOV.

LG Display is demonstrating new microLED modules at SID Displayweek 2025. These are tiled zero-bezel displays, that the company is showing in a nice demo:

Each module is 22" in size, offering a resolution of 480x540 (pixel pitch - 0.783 mm), a refresh rate of up to 144Hz (VRR), and a peak brightness of 1,700 nits (3% APL). 

UK-based IQE announced its financial results for Q1 2025, and the company says that it has expanded its customer pipeline with new qualification orders. IQE also announced that it has secured a partnership extension with annual purchase order commitment from leading AR smart glasses designer for GaN based microLED displays.

IQE also updated that it launched a 8" GaN-on-Si microLED foundry service with in-house wafer cleaning, compatible with advanced Silicon CMOS manufacturing. This seems to have been announced also in 2023, maybe IQE expanded its foundry service.
