Nanosys/Glo shows a 0.7" 480x272 microLED microdisplay prototype

In 2021, Quantum Dots developer Nanosys acquired 3D Nanowire microLED display developer Glo. At Displayweek 2022, Nanosys showed Glo's latest new microLED microdisplay prototype. You can see a demonstration in the video below.

The display is 0.7-inch in size, with a resolution of 480x270, or 787 PPI. That is very low for a microdisplay. The microLED chip size is 7x7 um, and the brightness is 50,000 nits. The performance is underwhelming - however such a solution could find applications, depending on the price - and Nanosys suggests using it in an automotive HUD solution.

This solution is based on blue microLED chips with quantum dots color conversion.
