MicroLED Microdisplays

We are happy to announce that our popular OLED Marketplace website is now offering microLED microdisplays. MicroLEDs. 

The first microLED that is on offer is a 0.12" VGA ultra-high-brightness monochrome display. It is available as either a display panel, or a complete display engine with optics (see image above). Hopefully we will add more panels and modules in the near future.

A few months ago, we reported that Meta is in designing a new AR glasses product, that will be based on microLED panels, replacing the currently-used LCoS displays in the first-generation Meta Ray-Ban Display. Meta is said to aim to launch these microLED AR glasses towards the end of 2027.

Meta will not produce its own microLED, but the company is highly involved in the microLED display development. There's a new job opening at Meta (at Sunnyvale, CA), for an advanced manufacturing engineer to drive the ramp-up of RGB microLED chips at the company's key external partner. 

JBD launched a new automotive-grade microLED projection platform, branded as Griffin. These projectors are intended to be used as external displays for vehicles - in rearview mirrors, doors, and other locations around the car.

The first-generation Griffin I is based on a 0.25" microLED display panel that provides up to 500 lumens, and meets automotive-grade reliability standards. JBD says that this new system has an exceptionally compact form factor, and is likely to be a monochrome projector. JBD expects the first Griffin I projection display panel samples to be available in mid-2026.

Omdia says that microLED display panel revenues will double in 2026, reaching $105.4 million, up from $52.4 million in 2025. The market is still very small and limit, Omdia says that rapidly maturing manufacturing capabilities and new product adoption are expected to drive significant shipment and revenue growth in the near term.

Most of the growth in the near future will be driven by AR microdisplays and large-area signage displays (which Omdia refers to as public displays). Omdia, like most other analysts, expect microLEDs to grow first in specialized application markets where competing technologies cannot meet performance requirements. - and these include ultra-large tiled displays and ultra-small ultra-high-brightness microdisplay.

This microdisplays market report provides a great introduction to MicroLED and OLED microdisplays, and covers everything you need to know about the current status of the market and industry. This is a great guide if you're considering to adopt OLED microdisplays in your product, if you're looking to learn more about next-generation micro-LEDs and if you want to understand this industry better.

STRATACACHE announced that it is engaging customers to provide domestically produced GaN-on-Silicon microLED epiwafers, aimed at both display and photonics applications. The move is part of the company’s broader strategy to scale North American microLED production at the companies Eugene Photonics Foundry and reduce dependence on Asian supply chains.

According to CEO Chris Riegel, the Eugene, Oregon fab is now accepting orders for Q3-Q4 200mm wafer production and is actively engaging with foundry customers in the photonics and display sectors. Riegel notes the growing demand for uLED-based photonic interconnects and highlights that “besides our Eugene Photonics Foundry, there is no scale domestic (U.S.) Gan-on-Silicon microLED manufacturing.”

UK-based SDI Group announced that it has acquired PRP Optoelectronics for 9.3 million GBP (around $12.6 million USD). PRP is focused on the design and production of custom high-performance microLED microdisplays and LED light engines, mostly for the aerospace industry, as it supplies to programs such as the Eurofighter Typhoon, F-16, and F-22 Raptor. 

PRP Optoelectronics recorded revenues of $8.1 million in 2025, and a profit of $2 million. PRP will be integrated into SDI's Industrial & Scientific Sensors division.

Counterpoint (DSCC) estimates that microLED display revenues grew 150% in 2025. The company did not release the exact revenue numbers, but these are still quite low, probably below $100 million.

Most of the growth last year were from the AR display segment, and in fact Counterpoint says that AR microdisplays represent 58% of all microLED revenues. 

3D Nanowire MicroLED developer Aledia announced the commercial availability of FlexiNova, its patented high-voltage microLED platform designed to unlock scalable, energy-efficient Direct-View microLED displays for global markets.

15x30 µm² 6V FlexiNOVA microLEDs assembled on a 400 µm pitch backplane 

The company says it is the first in the world to successfully manufacture 3D Nanowire based microLEDs operating at 6V, with an ultra-compact 15 µm × 30 µm single body chip size, manufactured on 200 mm silicon wafers. The company, together with its partner CEA-Leti, is continuing to develop the technology and is developing a full portfolio of 6V and 9V operation with a constant efficiency for chip sizes down to 3.5 µm.

Researchers from Korea's KAIST, Inha University, QSI and Raontech have jointly developed a high-density high-efficiency red microLED microdisplay, achieving a pixel density of 1700 PPI.

The researchers used Aluminum Indium Phosphide/Gallium Indium Phosphide (AlInP/GaInP) quantum-well microLEDs, and applied a monolithic 3D integration process to stack the microLED array directly on top of the backplane.
