Germany launches a collaborative project to develop and manufacture GaN-on-Silicon microLED microdisplays

The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has launched a new collaborative initiative to develop microLED microdisplays for AR applications.

The microPRO project, as it is known, includes ALLOS Semiconductors, Fraunhofer IPMS, Jabil Optics, Mimetik, Maintastic, and SUSS MicroTec.

The project aims to utilize Industry 4.0 processes and prove the manufacturability of GaN-on-Siliicon based microLED displays in Germany. It will utilize the silicon-compatible manufacturing processes of GlobalFoundries and X-FAB.
