On June 8, 2026, the MicroLED Industry Association will host its 2nd MicroLED Industry Update Webinar, at 16:00 CET. All MicroLED Association members are invited to join.

In the webinar, we will share an update on recent microLED industry updates, and insights from the first half of 2026. There will also be an open discussion on the latest industry news and trends.

The MicroLED Industry Association (MIA) is pleased to announce its upcoming webinar, dedicated to MicroLED-based optical data interconnects.

In this session, we will host leading microLED optical interconnect developer Avicena, and MIA member CEA-Leti. We will discuss microLED solutions for optical interconnects, used for AI datacenters. We’ll talk about the current status of technology, why microLEDs are promising in this application, and more.

This exclusive event offers MIA members an opportunity to learn directly from industry pioneers and world-class researchers and engage in discussions that support the advancement of MicroLED technology worldwide. Registration is open now for MIA members through the association’s member portal.

MicroLED-Connect, now in its 3rd year, is set to take place on September 16-17, 2026, in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The event is a joint-collaboration between the MicroLED Industry Association and Techblick, and in 2026 it will be co-located with the highly synergetic AR/VR-Connect conference. Attendees can look forward to engaging activities such as tours, masterclasses, an exhibition, networking opportunities and events, and more.

Following a very successful event in 2025, we are planning MicroLED-ARVR-Connect 2026 to be an even better event, with an expanded agenda, exhibition and networking opportunities. We are calling-out to potential speakers - companies, research institutes, start-ups, analysts, and academics are all welcome to propose a talk. We encourage contributions from round the world. In general, we prefer talks which represent state-of-the-art technologies or real commercial and industrial impact.

Polar Light Technologies – Building the Next Generation of MicroLED Displays

Polar Light Technologies (PLT) is a Swedish semiconductor company developing a new generation of MicroLED displays based on a unique pyramid-shaped GaN structure. We spoke with Oskar Fajerson, CEO of Polar Light Technologies, about their approach, progress, and vision for the industry.
