Tianma shares details on its microLED production process, developed a new side wiring deposition technology to reduce costs

Tianma Microelectronics announced that it has developed a new side wiring technology that enables completely seamless tiled microLED displays. The new technology is based on a new process that is much more cost effective compared to other processes, in fact Tianma says it can reduce the cost of side wiring deposition by up to three times.

Tianma shared some details about its first tiled microLED displays. These offer a very small pixel pitch of 0.4 mm, and are based on an LTPS backplane. Tianma also revealed that it is using a laser-bsaed transfer process. The company is now running trial production, and it hopes to improve the yields and production efficiency in 2025, and then move to small batch mass production.

Researchers from Kookmin University developed new GaN submicron Fin-LEDs, and a face-selective dielectrophoretic assembly process

Researchers from Korea's Kookmin University have developed a new GaN-based fin-LED chip material and pixel process technology, saying that this innovation may be the key to overcome the limitations of current microLED technologies.

The researchers developed a viable pixel manufacturing process that vertically assembles sub-micron-sized fin-LEDs using a face-selective dielectrophoresis (DEP) assembly method. The GaN-based sub-micron-sized fin-LEDs are designed to maximize performance while minimizing costs related to the chips and pixelation process. This technology significantly enhances extraction light efficiency by vertically aligning the fin-LEDs, and it enables the implementation of chip materials and pixel manufacturing processes that significantly reduce production costs.

Aixtron is highly positive on the microLED industry, expects large tool orders in 2026 as producers aim to start ramping up production by 2027

Aixtron announced its financial results for Q3 2024, with solid orders and revenue, despite a slight miss on guidance due to a project delay. This project was a large order for a microLED customer, with tools shipments pushed to December instead of October.

Aixtron says that "despite the news from Apple and ams OSRAM" the microLED industry is continuing to work on the technology, and the company received orders from several customers building R&D and pilot production lines. Aixtron expects its microLED revenues in FY2024 to be at high double-digit million euros.

AUO is making significant progress with microLEDs, is building a 4.5-Gen production line

During the company's recent conference call, AUO said that the company is "making significant progress" in MicroLED technology, transitioning to a 4.5-Gen line. AUO's current microLED production line is referred to as a 1-Gen line, used to produce commercial wearable displays (although we understand yields are very low and production costs are still extremely high). The company hopes its new larger line will improve production efficiency and cost structure.

AUO said that the new production line will enable it to start producing automotive displays, which are expected to launch by 2026 or 2027.
