MICLEDI was established in Belgium in 2019 as a spin-off from IMEC, with an aim to develop and manufacture microLED microdisplays for the AR market.
MICLEDI is a fabless company. In January 2020 the company raised 4.5 million Euro, and following that round we posted an interview with the company's CEO who explains the company's technology and goals. In 2021 MICLEDI raised a further 7.1 million Euro.
MICLEDI announced several joint projects and collaborations: with GlobalFoundries, Kopin, IQE, Kura, QustomDot and others. In 2022, the company demonstrated a 630nm wavelength native red GaN with a full-width-half-max (FWHM) in the range of 50nm.

MicroLED microdisplay developer MICLEDI raised 7.1 million Euro
Belgium-based microLED microdisplay developer MICLEDI announced that it has raised 7 million Euro from FPIM and KBC Focus Fund. The funds will enable the company to transition from the pilot line technology development to product design and subsequently to the manufacturing phase.
MICLEDI reveals that its next steps will be to demonstrate its native-RGB microLED display on 300 mm wafers, prepare its technology IP for transfer to a foundry partner for manufacturing and launch its product development phase.
MICLEDI explains its MicroLED microdisplay technology and business model
Earlier in January, Belgium-based MICLEDI announced that it raised 4.5 million Euro to develop next-generation MicroLED microdisplays for AR applications.
We had a short talk with MICLEDI's CEO, Sean Lord, who helped us understand a bit more about the company's technology and goals. MICLEDI is indeed focused entirely on the AR market, and so aims to provide display engines that will be extremely bright (over 10 million nits), efficient, and with a very small footprint. In addition costs are also important for the future consumer AR market.
