Taiwan-based display manufacturer AUO has partnered with PlayNitride to unveil their latest Micro LED technology development. The two companies leverage their expertise and developed a 9.4-inch flexible Micro LED display with the world's highest 228 PPI pixel density, achieving yet another industry milestone with pioneering technological breakthroughs.

The 9.4-inch flexible Micro LED display is based on an LTPS TFT driven backplane which allows pixels to be lighted separately. With a high-speed mass transfer technology, more than 5.5 million Micro LEDs less than 30um in size have been successfully transferred to the LTPS plastic backplane to reach an ultra-high pixel density of 228 PPI.

This Micro LED display delivers extremely high dynamic range with high saturation of bright colors. It has excellent weather resistance under high brightness ambient conditions, and is especially suitable for future car displays that demand both reliability and design. The Micro LED display’s highly flexible nature is also suitable for diverse applications including wearables and other consumer devices, giving way to many new possibilities.

“AUO and PlayNitride have been long-term partners for the development of micro LED display technology, and we both have been in the industry’s leadership position in terms of next generation Micro LED,” said Dr. Wei-Lung Liau, Chief Technology Officer of AUO.

“Display technology has potential for a myriad of innovative applications. We believe that Micro LED will foster the imagination for future display technologies,” said Dr. Yun-Li Li, CEO of PlayNitride.

AUO will continue to work closely with strategic partners to invest in the development of advanced display technologies, heading next-generation display trends with its innovative R&D capabilities.
