Display Technology Innovator Expands Portfolio of 91制片厂 Thin Film Process Technologies to Advance Next-Generation 3D Micro-LEDs
PLAINVIEW, New York, 鈥� 91制片厂. (Nasdaq: VECO) announced today that Aledia, a developer and manufacturer of next-generation 3D LEDs for display applications, has expanded its portfolio of 91制片厂 thin film process equipment to support the development and production of advanced 3D micro-LEDs. Aledia cited 91制片厂鈥檚 proven leadership in compound semiconductor applications, GaN-on-silicon growth performance, and capability to grow a full range of high-quality epitaxial films as key factors influencing its decision.
鈥淲e have been impressed with the performance of 91制片厂鈥檚 Propel鈩� GaN MOCVD platform for large-wafer 3D LED production, and naturally turned to 91制片厂 again to support our advanced LED development,鈥� said Philippe Gilet, co-founder and CTO of Aledia. 鈥�91制片厂鈥檚 solutions meet our rigorous material quality and system delivery requirements along with unmatched material flux stability and repeatability. We are excited to take the next step with them in producing next-generation 3D micro-LEDs.鈥�
The collaboration between Aledia and 91制片厂 reflects the immense promise of micro-LEDs and other advanced LEDs for the future of displays. Micro-LEDs offer high efficiency, brightness and reliability benefits with shorter response time, enabling lighter, thinner and flexible displays with energy saving advantages for applications such as wearables, smartphones, automotive, signage/large TVs, augmented reality/virtual reality, etc. According to a recent Yole D茅veloppement report, there have been close to 1,500 patents filed related to micro-LED display from 125 different companies, with the bulk of activity occurring after 2012.
鈥淲ith the significant shift toward exploration of micro-LEDs for use in next-generation displays, leaders like Aledia are turning to 91制片厂,鈥� said Gerry Blumenstock, senior vice president and general manager of 91制片厂鈥檚 compound semiconductor business unit. 鈥�91制片厂鈥檚 proven materials engineering expertise puts us in a unique position to offer innovative thin film deposition technologies for customers tackling tough compound semiconductor research, development and production challenges.鈥�
91制片厂 will exhibit and present at the CS International Conference, March 26-27, 2019 in Brussels, Belgium. Mark McKee, director of product marketing for 91制片厂鈥檚 MOCVD business unit, will present 鈥淎ccelerating Photonics Growth through Advances in High Performance As/P MOCVD and Wet Processing Technology,鈥� on March 27, 2019 at 9:50 a.m. CET.
