According to foreign media reports, the University of Sheffield has established a company to develop the next generation of Micro LED technology. The new company, called EpiPix Ltd, focuses on Micro LED technology for photonics applications, such as miniature displays for portable smart devices, AR, VR, 3D sensing, and visible light communication (Li-Fi).

The company is supported by research from Tao Wang and her team at the University of Sheffield's Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, and the company is working with global companies to develop next-generation Micro LED products.

This pre-production technology has been proven to have high light efficiency and uniformity, which can be used for multi-color Micro LED arrays on a single wafer. Currently, EpiPix is ​​developing Micro LED epitaxial wafers and product solutions for red, green and blue wavelengths. Its Micro LED pixel size ranges from 30 microns to 10 microns, and prototypes smaller than 5 microns in diameter have been successfully demonstrated.

Denis Camilleri, CEO, and Director of EpiPix, said: “This is an exciting opportunity to turn scientific results into Micro LED products and a great time for the Micro LED market. We have worked with industry customers to ensure EpiPix is Their short-term product requirements and future technology roadmap. “

With the advent of the ultra-high-definition video industry era, the era of intelligent Internet of Things, and the era of 5G communications, new display technologies such as Micro LED have become the goals pursued by many manufacturers. development of.
