MICLEDI is a fabless semiconductor design and technology company that’s been developing high-performance microLED displays with a primary focus on augmented reality (AR) products.
Under this agreement, IQE will provide MICLEDI with a 200mm (8-inch) platform to scale and commercialise this technology to achieve high-volume production for red microLEDs. This geometry allows for compatibility with both standard 200mm and 300mm silicon foundries, which will enable the partnership to deliver economies of scale.
Commenting Americo Lemos, Chief Executive Officer of IQE (pictured), said, “MicroLEDs are the future of immersive display technologies, and this agreement expands IQE’s position in a market which is poised for multi-billion-dollar growth across a range of end-market applications, including everyday consumer electronics. Compound semiconductors are a critical enabler of scale in this market and we are pleased to be partnering with MICLEDI to offer a differentiated solution.”
“By combining MICLEDI’s unique microLED arrays with IQE’s 8-inch platform, we have formed a natural partnership to commercialise and scale our solution to address the high-growth microLED market. Our augmented reality products will enable new user experiences and we look forward to delivering this innovative technology under our new partnership,” said Sean Lord, Chief Executive Officer of MICLEDI.
