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.
Saphlux, established in 2014 at Yale University, developed a complete range of microLED technologies, from a semi-polar gallium-nitride on sapphire material to QD based color conversion technologies. It is targeting both AR microdisplays and larger-sized direct-vision displays. Saphlux has recently completed its Series C funding round, raising $43.5 million.
Last year Saphlux launched its latest microLED microdisplay technology, its T3 Series. The company unveiled a 0.13" 320x240 (subpixel pitch of 4 micron) monolithic full-color microLED microdisplay, based on its proprietary NPQD (Nanopore Quantum Dot) technology.
In September 2025, Saphlux announced it will co-develop optical solutions for microLED powered AI/AR glasses with Vuzix.
Earlier in 2025 Saphlux said that it is collaborating with Leyard to develop an AR glasses product based on the T1-0.13” monochrome display, with plans to release a new generation of AR glasses equipped with the T3-0.13” full-color display by the end of 2025.
