The MicroLED Industry Association (MIA) welcomes its newest member companies: Beneq, Crystal Matrix, Element 3-5, Evatec, Inlighten, Nitride Semi, Palomino Labs, Pixel Flo, Sundiode, Tera Electronics and YieldWerx. Since the beginning of 2026, over 20 companies joined the association, as interest in microLEDs grows and the industry grows and matures.
The MIA aims to accelerate the adoption of microLED display technologies, bringing together companies, researchers and organizations active in the MicroLED industry and providing an ideal forum for solving common technology issues, fostering cooperation and sharing relevant information, resources and tools.
Beneq is the global leader in industrial and research atomic layer deposition (ALD) equipment since 1984. Beneq pioneered industrial production of Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) with the introduction of the first commercial ALD equipment in 1984. Today, Beneq offers a portfolio of specialty semiconductor production tools, R&D systems, batch tools for chamber part coating, and spatial ALD platforms including roll-to-roll equipment. In the microLED industry, Beneq ALD systems address a wide range of processes, including sidewall passivation, controlled surface passivation, transparent conductive oxides, and final passivation, enabling the conformality, material flexibility, and low-temperature processing required for high-volume manufacturing of next-generation displays.
“As microLED architectures push toward smaller pixel pitch and more demanding surface requirements, membership in the MicroLED Association keeps Beneq closer to the customers defining those requirements — so our ALD interfacial solutions are designed ahead of the process challenges, not in response to them.”
