Korea-based microLED backplane developer Sapien Semiconductors announced that it has signed a $3.7 million contract with a global microdisplay solutions company for the development and supply of CMOS microLED backplane products. It appears as if this contract is just a first step in a strategic collaboration agreement that was decided with this company.
As you can see above, Sapien shared their supply chain view, where Sapien provides the microLED CMOS backplane, and then its partner provides the frontplane (microLED) deposition and finally an OEM integrates the display engine in an AR product.
Sapien's backplane design is based on its MiP (Memory-inside-Pixel) technology.
