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.
Saphlux, established in 2014 at Yale University, developed a complete range of microLED technologies, from a semi-polar gallium-nitride on sapphire material to QD based color conversion technologies. It is targeting both AR microdisplays and larger-sized direct-vision displays.
Last year Saphlux launched its latest OLED microdisplay technology, its T3 Series. The company unveiled a 0.13" 320x240 (subpixel pitch of 4 micron) monolithic full-color microLED microdisplay, based on its proprietary NPQD (Nanopore Quantum Dot) technology.
In September 2025, Saphlux announced it will co-develop optical solutions for microLED powered AI/AR glasses with Vuzix.
Earlier in 2025 Saphlux said that it is collaborating with Leyard to develop an AR glasses product based on the T1-0.13” monochrome display, with plans to release a new generation of AR glasses equipped with the T3-0.13” full-color display by the end of 2025.
