Pyramidical GaN microLED developer Polar Light Technologies has been awarded an EU Eurostars grant to develop a dual-color microLED microdisplay prototype deposited using the company's bottom-up mask-based deposition process.
The project, called 2ndGenMicroLED, will run for 18-month project, and has a total budget of 1.1 million Euro.
Polar Light will be collaborating with die bonding developer Finetech on this project. The two companies have been working together since 2024.
Earlier in 2026 Polar Light announced that it has produced a series of nano-scale InGaN LEDs, measuring 500 nanometers and smaller. The company says these are the smallest LEDs ever demonstrated.
The company plans to introduce its first commercial products to market in 2026, these will likely be monochrome microdisplays.
In January 2026, Polar Light announced that it has successfully closed a new financing round, raising over 5 million Euros, thus raising a total of 13 million Euros to date.
In May 2025, Polar Light Technologies demonstrated its first microLED microdisplay prototype. In December 2025, we posted a spotlight article on the company.
