A unique microLED architecture

Competitive advantages of microLEDs compared to other technologies

When compared to existing products (LCDs, OLEDS, LCOS), this unique technology, protected by 238 patent families, offers huge opportunities for the $120 billion display market:

• Added energy efficiency (longer battery life)
• Higher brightness (outdoors readability)
• Better color quality
• Higher dynamic range
• Faster display switching speed

All at a competitive manufacturing cost.

Smartpixels

Aledia has patented Smartpixels, which put electronics inside each individual pixel at the wafer level (over 100M pixels at a time). Aledia’s patented Smartpixels can be used to make displays that are flexible, transparent, with higher dynamic range, a better image quality and lower in cost than existing systems, while enabling new formats compared to conventional displays.

Aledia’s patented architecture uses well-known technology building blocks, ensuring low technology risks.

To this day, Aledia has filed 52 patents for Smartpixels,

INDUSTRIAL ADVANTAGES

Easy to manufacture

• Designed on standard silicon wafers, the light-emitting part of the display is manufacturable by standard microelectronics foundries.
• 200mm (8’’) standard silicon substrate easily scalable to 300mm (12’’).
• Production on large wafers gives Aledia a significant advantage on the competition as it lowers transfer and assembly costs.
• Only the growth of nanowire LEDs is carried out in-house by Aledia.
• Remaining manufacturing steps are subcontracted to standard silicon foundries.

Flexible substrate

• Strong compatibility with flexible or conformable displays.
