Toshiba develops a new high-performance phosphor for microLED color conversion
Toshiba Corporation announced that it has developed a new high-performance phosphor material that could be highly useful in microLED color conversion, among other applications. Toshiba aims to start mass producing the new material in 2025, and will soon offer samples for potential partners and customers.
Toshiba says that the new material delivers excellent solubility in polymers or organic solvents, where it is transparent and colorless under visible light, and that emits persistent red-light emissions under UV light, with excellent color purity and a luminescence six times that of current phosphors.
Ams Osram: we are clearly leading with microLEDs, to start 8-inch production in 2024
In 2021, ams Osram announced that it will expand its LED production plant in Kulim, Malaysia, with an investment of around $850 million. Osram plans to produce mini-LED and micro-LED chips on 8-inch wafers in Kulim.
ams Osram already said it regards microLED as one of its key initiatives, and in a recent conference call the company's CEO emphasized that that microLED is one of the areas in which the company has clear advantages and is a market leader - and it will direct more efforts on microLEDs. The company is on track, it was revealed, to start microLED production in Kulim in 2024.
The MicroLED Industry Association to host a Perovskite microLED technology webinar
On March 27 the MicroLED Industry Association will host a private webinar on perovskite materials for the microLED industry. Perovskite materials hold great promise for the solar industry and in recent years we are seeing promising signs for the adoption of perovskites the display industry.
The upcoming Seminar will feature four world-leading speakers, and will also be open to a Q&A session. We will learn more about the state-of-the-art perovskite research and development, with a focus of course on applications in the microLED industry - for both perovskite QDs and PeLEDs.
- Prof. Henry Snaith FRS: leading the Photovoltaic and Optoelectronic Device Group at Oxford University, founder of Oxford PV and Helio Display Materials
- Simon Jones: CEO at Helio Display Materials, a perovskite material developer focusing on the display market, spun off from the UK's Oxford and Cambridge universities
- Prof. Lioz Etgar: leading perovskite researcher, Associate Professor of chemistry at the Hebrew Univeristy of Jerusalem, Israel
- Samuel Halim: CEO at electronics material developer Avantama
The MicroLED Industry Association was established with an aim to speak in a unified voice and promote microLED display solutions. The association works to improve communication, collaboration and partnerships within association members and assist its members in reaching their marketing and development goals. The association currently lists 29 members, including LG Electronics, 3M, PlayNitride, the Fraunhofer Institute (IZM and FEP), Coherent, Lextar/Epistar and many more.
