UK-based optoelectronic technology solution provider Plessey announced that it will showcase its latest Micro LED display solutions for augmented and mixed reality (AR/MR), head-up/head-mounted displays (HUD/HMDs), smartphones and other display applications at Display Week 2019 held from May 14 to 17 in San Jose, California, USA.

Plessey said it will unveil its Micro LED technology breakthroughs and demonstrate why its scalable and repeatable GaN-on-Silicon monolithic process is the solution for next-generation display products.

Cooperated with different industry partners, Plessey has developed several technology breakthroughs and these advances will also be demonstrated at Display Week. Vuzix, as a long-term partner of Plessey, will join the booth to present a demo of the Vuzix Blades world leading AR glasses. Jasper Display Corp (JDC), Plessey’s backplane supplier, will also introduce how its high-density silicon backplane drive the monolithic Micro LED displays manufactured on GaN-on-Si Micro LED wafers.

To advance Micro LED performance, Plessey has worked with Nanoco Technologies and reduce pixel size by up to 87% utilising Nanoco’s cadmium free quantum dots (CFQD®) semiconductor nanoparticle technology to convert Plessey’s native Blue to Red and Green. Aixtron’s AIX G5+ C 8” MOCVD reactor also helped Plessey to boost the development speed of its GaN-on-Si Micro LED wafers.

In addition, Display Week will be the beginning of a new R&D alliance between Plessey and Mojo Vision, who will showcase invisible computing display technology
