GlobalFoundries reported its Q1 2026 financial results, with $1.63 billion in revenues, and a net profit of $227 million. The company reported its design wins increased 50% over Q1 2025 - including automotive MRAM and microLED wins.

GF secured two new design wins on its FDX platform for microLED backplanes used in AR smart glasses. 

Last year we reported that India's Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) is considering supporting the construction of a microLED production line in India, or to support the establishment of a supply chain for microLED development and production.

Yesterday the Indian government has approved a new project in Gujarat, by Crystal Matrix Limited, to establish a microLED and mini-LED production facility. The new fab, to be located in Dholera, Gujarat, will produce 6-inch GaN microLED and miniLED wafers, and will also produce mini-LED and micro-LED displays. The project's total cost is estimated at 3200 Cr INR (or about $336 million USD).

Kopin Corporation announced a strategic collaboration with Fabric.AI to develop microLED-based optical interconnect technology for AI infrastructure.  Kopin says that Fabric.AI placed a $15 million purchase order with Kopin to fund the demonstration chipset development.

Kopin and Fabric.AI jointly are jointly developing an optical interconnect technology (branded as Neural I/o) designed to replace traditional copper wiring between GPUs and high-performance processors in data centers. The technology leverages Kopin's microLED displays and bi-directional NeuralDisplay architecture, repurposing programmable microLED pixels as optical transceivers for data transmission.

The OLED Marketplace website is expanding its microLED microdisplays catalog, with a new 0.13" VGA (640x480) 2.7 million nits green monochrome microLED microdisplay.

This is the second microLED on the catalog, following the 0.12" VGA ultra-high-brightness monochrome display that was added last month.

LED developer Seoul Semiconductor has entered in a government-approved restructuring plan, as its traditional LED package market is suffering from reduced prices and profitability.

Seoul Semiconductor has decided to direct 250 billion Won ($180 million USD) investment in the next 5 years, mostly into the R&D and manufacturing of microLED microdisplay modules, for AR applications. The company will base the new microdisplays on its own WICOP (Wafer Integrated Chip on PCB) technology. 

Saphlux has successfully completed its Series C funding round, raising 300 million Yuan (around $43.5 million USD)., from several Chinese investment funds and VCs. 

Saphlux says that it will utilize the funds to accelerate its R&D and achieve mass production of full-color AR microdisplays.

China-based Innovision, developer of microLED microdisplays based on the company's vertically-stacked pixel (VSP) technology, announced a new 0.06" microLED microdisplay, the world's smallest microdisplay in production.

The Xinmou (also known as Chimo) M06 microdisplay offers a resolution of 540x280 (2.5 micron pixel pitch, 10,000 PPI) and ultra-low power consumption. 

We’re pleased to feature Plessey Semiconductors, a UK-based leader in advanced photonics and microLED technology, as part of our series highlighting members of the MicroLED Industry Association.

Based in Plymouth, Plessey operates one of the few fully integrated microLED manufacturing facilities globally, bringing together design, epitaxy, wafer processing and device production on a single site. With over 70 years of engineering heritage and a growing commercial base across AR displays and optical interconnects, the company is focused on enabling the next generation of computing through photonic technologies.

We spoke with Phil Greenhalgh, Chief Technology Officer at Plessey, about the company’s technology, progress, and vision for the industry.

MicroLED microdisplay and optical I/O technology developer Mojo Vision, a MicroLED Industry Association member, announced that it has received a $17.5 million strategic investment from Future Ventures. 

This follows the company's $75 million financing round last August and will help accelerate the development and commercialization of its micro-LED optical communication platform for next-generation AI infrastructure.

Kopin announced that it has received a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research contract from the U.S. Government to develop full-color, smaller-format MicroLED display technology for military applications. 

The new SBIR project supports the creation of a second full color MicroLED display purpose-designed for several soldier-borne applications, marking this the second MicroLED focused award in the past six months for Army programs. Typically SBIR I projects represent around $150,000 - $300,000 in total funding.
