MicroLED-Connect is the microLED industry's top event series, offering a combination of exciting online webinars and a flagship annual on-site event. Our next meeting is on 23-25 September 2025, at the High Tech Campus, Eindhoven, Netherlands. MicroLED-Connect is co-organised by TechBlick and the MicroLED Industry Association and offers the best way to connect with the global MicroLED and AR/VR display industries and markets.
In this article, we will share a few short videos from past events. First up, we have Continental's Kai Hohmann that discusses how the company looks at the four competing display technologies, and the opportunities for microLED technology in the automotive industry.
One of the industry's big pain points is the actual performance of microLEDs compared to OLEDs, and the efficiency of a native red emitter. In September 2024, during MicroLED-Connect's flagship event in Eindhoven, UCSB's Prof. DenBaars presented the latest state-of-the-art LED research results, detailed the lab's work on tunnel-junction technology that enables single-chip full color solutions, and explained why native red microLEDs are still a big challenge.
ALLOS Semiconductors is pioneering GaN-On-Silicon technologies, and during MIcroLED-Connect 2024 the company's CMO, Alexander Loesing, gave an introduction to the company's GaN-On-Silicon 300 mm production technology and expertise, and also discussed the changes that the industry needs to adopt in order to achieve mass production of low-cost and high-performance microLED chips.
Another major challenge the industry is facing is the production of full-color displays. There are several competing architectures towards achieving full-color, and one of them is the use of blue (or UV) LEDs, with a color conversion layer. CEA Leti's François Templier detailed the intensive research performed at the institute towards perovskite-based QDs for microLED color conversion, that show excellent potential - including the ability to achieve densities of 1 micron or even less, thanks the perovskite materials.
Tiled microLED displays usually use electrodes deposited on the edges of the tiles, as these need to connect seamlessly and cannot afford to have any space between tiles. In December 2024, during our Display Innovation Day, XTPL presented their solution for high-performance Edge-Type conductive interconnect deposition.
