Abstract

MicroLED display systems require more than efficient microscale light sources. But without efficient microscale light sources the value proposition of MicroLED displays may be questionable.

Since the summer of 2014, MicroLEDs have received incredible investments in the form of R&D and startup acquisitions. The hype continues after a decade of intense research and development to find manufacturing solutions for MicroLED displays that may be used in smartwatches, smartphones, and even laptops.

Challenges remain. These challenges are discussed in this talk through the eyes of an engineer who has been contributing and analyzing this incredible technology.
