Eric Virey to discuss whether microLEDs can compete with OLEDs in high-volume applications at our upcoming MicroLED Connect event later this month
The first MicroLED Connect virtual event is coming up later this month, a 2-day virtual event that will be focused on microLED (and also miniLED) technologies. The event will include over 25 lectures from leading companies, researchers and market analysts. This is an excellent opportunity for display professionals to learn the latest microLED industry and technology updates.
Eric Virey, a senior display analyst from the Yole Group, will give a talk discussing the opportunities for microLED technologies at high-volume applications - such as TVs, smartphones, wearables and IT displays. Yole's research on microLEDs is highly regarded, and we're looking forward to hearing Eric's latest analysis and insights.
MicroLEDs used to fix and replace an old OLED lighting installation in Taipei
Many years ago, The W Hotel in Taipei installed an OLED installation called You Fade to Light, designed by rAndom International creative studio and powered by Philips' OLED lighting panels. This beautiful piece consists of 2,000 modules, each lighting up as a response to people moving in front of it.
After several years these OLED panels started to fail (and fade, which is rather ironic given the installation's name), and now the hotel replaced the OLED panels with microLED-powered panels. It is said that the microLEDs achieved the same level of uniformity and light output of the OLEDs, maybe even surpassing them.
Announcing MicroLED Connect: the world's first microLED-focused in-person industry event
We are happy to announce a new industry event, called MicroLED Connect - a microLED-focused conference that will take place on September 24-26 2024, in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
The event will include a conference, masterclasses, an exhibition - and will place a big focus on networking opportunities and activities. MicroLED-Connect will bring together leading researchers (academia and R&D institutes), microLED developers and display makers, who will present the latest technology and research advancements, the challenges still facing the industry, the current status of the industry and market, and much more!
In addition to the live (in-person) event in September, MicroLED-Connect will also offer a year-round virtual program of microLED focused webinars.
The MicroLED Industry Association to host a microLED market and industry webinar
On December 2023, the MicroLED Industry Association will host a private webinar focused on the microLED market and industry. During this webinar, we will hear from market analysts that cover the display industry and microLEDs specifically, to hear their views about the current state of the market and industry, and their forecasts for the future.
The webinar will feature three world-leading speakers, and will also be open to a Q&A session.
Notion Systems – interview on EHD printing in the display industry
Notion Systems, a leader in ink jet printing for industrial applications, has been active in the display market for a long time. The company is now promoting its EHD technology for high precision printing. Here’s an interview we conducted with Antonio Schmidt – SVP Sales & Business Development and Jochen Seeser – Senior Process Development Manager, Notion Systems.
Hello Antonio and Jochen, thank you for your time. In 2022, you started offering EHD printing systems. Can you explain how this technology works and what applications does it enable in the display industry?
Notion Systems has been active in the display market since 2016, when we delivered an n.jet display for pixel printing to a lab of a leading display manufacturer in China. Since then, we have supplied several inkjet displays for RGB printing and encapsulation to various R&D and production sites in China and Taiwan. I think we can also claim that we are the only manufacturer, along with perhaps one other U.S. competitor, that has multiple systems in operation for 24x7 display production.
The MicroLED Industry Association grows to 40 members
The MicroLED Industry Association (MIA) is happy to announce its 40th member, New Silicon Corporation (NSC), an integrated circuit company based out of Singapore. The microLED industry is still at a very early stage, but Interest in microLED technologies is growing.
The MicroLED Industry Association was established in July 2022, to promote microLED technologies, foster industry collaboration and initiate educational and marketing campaigns for its members. NSC joins a wide range of members including microLED display makers, component suppliers, technology developers, established companies, early stage startups and leading research institutes. You can see the full member list online.
The MicroLED Industry Association to host an automotive microLED display webinar
On September 4th the MicroLED Industry Association will host a private webinar on automotive displays and technologies. The automotive market represents a very good segment for display developers, as it offers high performance requirements and the ability to adopt premium solutions. Many analysts believe that this market will be one of the first ones to adopt microLED technologies (together with the AR/VR and wearables markets).
During the webinar, we will look at current solutions and future roadmaps, learn how the automotive industry looks at display solutions and next-generation technologies and see how microLEDs could find a market in the automotive industry.
The upcoming Seminar will feature three world-leading speakers, and will also be open to a Q&A session, to help increase microLED developers knowledge and involvement in the automotive industry:

AUO may close down its AFPD OLED fab in Singapore as it focuses on microLED for next-gen wearable and automotive displays
AU Optronics has a 4.5-Gen AMOLED production line in Singapore, active since around 2013. The AFPD line is a small-scale operation, and AUO never managed to expand its capacity and compete with large AMOLED producers.
According to a report from Japan, AUO is now considering closing down the AFPD line, and converting it to microLED R&D production line. It could move it back to Taiwan, or retain Singapore as a hub for AUO in Southeast Asia. The company will make a final decision, it seems, in early 2024.
