Ennostar Corporation

Ennostar reported its financial results for Q2 2026, with a 20% revenue growth, and an operation loss (but a net income due to an asset sale). Ennostar says that its operating loss was due to Intense competition and industry overcapacity.

Looking forward, Ennostar says it expects its microLED display business to grow "by multiples" from 2025, driven by higher demand for AR and VR microdisplays from its US and European customers.

Ennostar announced a major advance in its microLED based optical I/O development project, and demonstrated a new prototype that offers substantially higher modulation bandwidth compared to its previous effort, while simultaneously maintaining low power consumption and excellent thermal management

The company says that it was able to increase the single-channel -3 dB modulation bandwidth of its blue Micro LED to 2.1 GHz at a current density of 2 kA/cm². Ennostar's new demonstration also features a modulation bandwidth of up to 3.3 GHz at a current density of 5 kA/cm².

Ennostar and Saphlux have signed a strategic partnership to accelerate the commercialization of Saphlux's semi-polar microLED technologies, for both AR microdisplays and optical I/O solutions.

This collaboration will combine Saphlux's proprietary semi-polar GaN material platform with Ennostar's large-scale manufacturing capabilities.

Veeco announced that Ennostar has accepted and qualified Veeco's LUMINA+ MOCVD system by Ennostar Corp of Hsinchu, Taiwan (a provider of integrated optoelectronic solutions, specializing in R&D and manufacturing III-V materials).

Veeco says that this order sets a new benchmark for high-volume arsenide and phosphide (As/P) production, for microLED devices production.

Ennostar is showcasing a microLED-based optical I/O solution, co-developed with AUO and Tyntek. The solution integrates Ennostar’s GaN-based microLED light source with Tyntek’s Micro Photodetector (Micro-PD), co-designed within AUO’s Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) module.

This solution targets ultra-short range high-speed interconnects (<10 meters), well-suited for applications such as Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) and Active Optical Cables (AOC). Ennostar has successfully demonstrated microLED-based performance at 1.25 Gbps per channel and will continue to enhance modulation speed and reliability through ongoing co-development with system partners.

ALLOS Semiconductors announced a strategic partnership with Ennostar Corporation, to bring bring 200 mm GaN-on-Si microLED epiwafers into volume production. 

This partnership will enable ALLOS to offer its customers GaN-on-Si epiwafers at mass volume. This basically means that Ennostar has become ALLOS manufacturing partner, while ALLOS operates in a "fabless" model. In addition to manufacturing, Ennostar will also contribute its advanced LED-related technologies to further enhance the product performance.

Rugged computing systems and advanced display designer TRIPLTEK launched a new tablet, the TRIPLTEK X PRO, that utilizes a microLED-backlit LCD display. The company says that this is the world's first such tablet on the market, which could indeed be true. The X PRO is now shipping and can be bought on Amazon.com for $1599.

The TRIPLTEK X PRO display has a 8-inch 4K (set to FHD by default to conserve energy) LCD panel, powered by a microLED backlighting unit and it can deliver  a sustained brightness of 3000 nits. TRIPLTEK says that the display can operate continuously for up to 5 hours at maximum brightness on battery power. The microLED backlighting unit has been designed by TRIPLETEK, and has 1280 dimming zones - powered by Epistar (Ennostar) blue 10 micron LEDs. 

According to reports from Taiwan, Ennostar sold off its stake in microLED developer PlayNitride . The company sold the common shares in several deals on the open market, and the total shares value reached NT$ 450 million, or around $14.7 million USD. 

Ennostar still holds a large 7.76% stake (9.1 million shares, worth around NT$1.8 billion) via its Epistar Subsidiary. The company said it sold the shares mainly to improve its financial structure, as its losses are increasing due to weak customer demand, inventory adjustments and unfavorable exchange rates. The company is changing its priorities and aim to focus on two core technologies, optical communications and industrial sensing going forward, which may also explain why it reduced its stake in PlayNitirde.

Ennostar Inc, that recently announced a restructure to merge Epistar and Lextar into a single company, says that it has recently achieved several significant breakthroughs in its microLED technology. 

First of all, Ennostar said that it has managed to improve the blue and green microLED light efficiency by 10% to 15%, and dramatically improve its red light efficiency by 90%. 

Ennostar Inc, established in 2021 as a joint venture between Epistar and Lextar, announced that it has decided to restructure and merge Epistar and Lextar into a single company that will be called Ennostar Corp. The merger will formally happen in October 2025.

Ennostar hopes that this move will help to accelerate the company's growth in the high-value-added optoelectronics market, which includes microLED displays, as the company wishes to increase its product range beyond LED devices into high level systems and solutions.
