Published: 21 November 2018 Abstract: Pinhole‐shaped light‐emitting diode (LED) arrays with dimension ranging from 100 μm down to 5 μm have been developed as point illumination sources. The proposed microLED arrays, which are based on gallium nitride (GaN) technology and emitting in the blue spectral region (λ = 465 nm), are integrated into a compact lensless holographic microscope for a non‐invasive, label‐free cell sensing and imaging. From the experimental results using single pinhole LEDs having a diameter of 90 μm, the reconstructed images display better resolution and enhanced image quality compared to those captured using a commercial surface‐mount device (SMD)‐based LED.

  • Light Engines for XR Smartglasses by Jonathan Waldern, Ph.D
    August 28, 2020 Light Engines for XR Smartglasses By Jonathan Waldern, Ph.D. The near-term obstacle to meeting an elegant form factor for Extended Reality1 (XR) glasses is the size of the light engine2 that projects an image into the waveguide, providing a daylight-bright, wide field-of-view mobile display For original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) developing XR smartglasses that employ diffractive wave- guide lenses, there are several light engine architectures contending for the throne. Highly transmissive daylight-bright glasses demanded by early adopting customers translate to a level of display efficiency, 2k-by-2k and up resolution plus high contrast, simply do not exist today in the required less than ~2cc (cubic centimeter) package size. This thought piece examines both Laser and LED contenders. It becomes clear that even if MicroLED (µLED) solutions do actually emerge as forecast in the next five years, fundamentally, diffractive wave- guides are not ideally paired to broadband LED illumination and so only laser based light engines, are the realistic option over the next 5+ years. Bottom Line Up Front • µLED, a new emissive panel technology causing considerable excitement in the XR community, does dispense with some bulky refractive illumination optics and beam splitters, but still re- quires a bulky projection lens. Yet an even greater fundamental problem of µLEDs is that while bright compared with OLED, the technology falls short of the maximum & focused brightness needed for diffractive and holographic waveguides due to the fundamental inefficiencies of LED divergence. • A laser diode (LD) based light engine has a pencil like beam of light which permits higher effi- ciency at a higher F#.

  • Ambient Light Excitation in Quantum-Dot-Converted Microled Displays
    79-2 / F. Gou Ambient Light Excitation in Quantum-Dot-Converted MicroLED Displays Fangwang Gou*, Guanjun Tan*, Yi-Fen Lan**, Seok-Lyul Lee** and Shin-Tson Wu* *College of Optics and Photonics, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida 32816, USA **AU Optronics Corp., Hsinchu Science Park, Hsinchu 30078, Taiwan Abstract Ambient light excitation in quantum dots-converted micro-LED displays is analyzed and the calculated results agree well with simulations. By depositing a layer of color filter and reducing the area ratio of quantum dots, the display’s ambient contrast ratio can be improved to adequately readable under full daylight. Author Keywords Micro-LEDs; color conversion; quantum dots; ambient contrast ratio. 1. Introduction Micro-LED is considered as the next generation display technology because of its outstanding features such as low power consumption, true black state, high dynamic range and Figure 1. Device configuration of blue micro-LED array with wide color gamut [1-3]. Although the commonly used red and green quantum dots as color conversion layer. fabrication method is to assemble individual red (R), green (G) and blue (B) micro-LED pixels from semiconductor wafers to the same driving backplane through mass transfer process, it is still challenging to achieve high manufacturing yield. In addition, RGB micro-LED displays suffers from angular color shift issue because of the epitaxial material difference [4]. In order to avoid these issues, alternative approach by employing blue or UV micro-LED to pump the color converters is proposed [5-7]. This method only needs one type of LED epitaxy wafer and is ideal for small-size display applications such as micro- displays or digital watches.

  • Driving Forward Microled Video Displays
    100 Technology focus: Nitride optoelectronics Driving forward microLED video displays Micron-size light-emitting diode arrays based on nitride semiconductors have been developed for displays and light sources for more than a decade. By combining such arrays with silicon CMOS active drive circuits, US researchers have now created microdisplays capable of delivering video images. Mike Cooke reports. S university, commercial and military researchers have Ureported the realization of high-resolution solid-state self-emis- sive microdisplays based on III-nitride semiconductor micro-size light-emitting diodes (μLEDs) capable of delivering video graphics images [Jacob Day et al, Appl.

  • The Future of Microled Displays Using Next Generation Technologies
    The future of microLED displays using next generation technologies Introduction MicroLEDs (micro-light-emitting diodes) are an emerging display technology that, as the name implies, use very small LEDs for pixels. Much the same as any other current display technology, it combines red, green and blue sub-pixels to reproduce a colour. Although there are currently no microLED displays in mass production today, there is a massive opportunity for the technology to penetrate major display markets and replace incumbent LCD and OLED (organic light-emitting diode) technologies in a wide range of applications, from HDTVs to smartphones and wearables such as smart watches, and head-up displays (HUDs) and virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headsets. According to research consultancy Yole Développement, the market for microLED displays could reach up to 330 million units by 2025. However, many development challenges remain before microLEDs can fully realise their potential. Display technologies Like OLEDs, microLEDs offer an emissive display technology that delivers high contrast, high speed and a wide viewing angle current. However, OLED technology is power hungry and does not offer high levels of brightness – for example, users will often find it difficult to read the screen of a smartphone or tablet in high ambient light. Whereas MicroLEDs offer the potential for significantly higher brightness, as well as enhanced robustness and longer lifetime. In addition, a major advantage is greater efficiency, which can mean significantly reduced power consumption, making the technology ideal for battery powered products. MicroLEDs are also ideal for small form factor products such as head-mounted displays, making VR and AR a major application opportunity.
