12 May Backplane for high-resolution micro LED displays
Vuzix, a provider of smart glasses and augmented reality technology and products, and the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS have achieved a milestone in the development of a customized micro LED backplane, according to their own statement.
The partners report, that the collaboration led to the development of the first high-performance micro LED backplane tailored to the requirements of specific Vuzix customers. The first working samples tested with OLED technology confirm the potential of the design for advanced display applications, emphasize the partners. The CMOS backplane supports 1080P+ resolution, enabling both monochrome and full-color, micrometer-sized micro LED arrays. This development was mainly funded by third-party customers of Vuzix with specific applications. This next-generation micro LED backplane is primarily focused on high-end enterprise markets where performance and customized solutions are critical.
“The success of these first functional samples is a major step forward,” explains Adam Bull, Director of Program Management at Vuzix. Philipp Wartenberg, Head of IC and System Design at Fraunhofer IPMS, adds: “This project demonstrates for the first time the adaptation of an existing OLED microdisplay backplane to the requirements of a high-current microLED frontplane and enables us to expand our backplane portfolio.”
