Nanoco and Plessey partner to shrink full-colour microLED pixels by 87% using quantum dots

MANCHESTER, UK & CONCORD, Mass. USA, January 3, 2019: Plessey Semiconductors and Nanoco Technologies today announced a partnership to shrink the pixel size of monolithic microLED displays using Nanoco’s cadmium free quantum dot (CFQD® quantum dots) semiconductor nanoparticle technology. Using its existing monolithic process, Plessey will integrate the Nanoco CFQD® quantum dots into selected regions of blue LED wafers to add red and green light. This shrinks the smallest practical pixel size from today’s 30µm to just 4µm, a reduction of 87%. The process will enable the production of smaller, higher-resolution, microLED displays in applications such as AR/VR devices, … Read More → "Nanoco and Plessey partner to shrink full-colour microLED pixels by 87% using quantum dots"
