The MicroLED Industry Association grows to 40 members
The MicroLED Industry Association (MIA) is happy to announce its 40th member, New Silicon Corporation (NSC), an integrated circuit company based out of Singapore. The microLED industry is still at a very early stage, but Interest in microLED technologies is growing.
The MicroLED Industry Association was established in July 2022, to promote microLED technologies, foster industry collaboration and initiate educational and marketing campaigns for its members. NSC joins a wide range of members including microLED display makers, component suppliers, technology developers, established companies, early stage startups and leading research institutes. You can see the full member list online.
Apple said to reduce its planned Vision Pro production volume as Sony cannot ship enough OLED microdisplays in 2024
Apple recently announced the Apple Vision Pro VR headset, with dual 4K OLED microdisplays produced by Sony. Sony's production capacity was known to be limited, and it was estimated that its entire capacity is around 900,000 units per year.
A new report by the Financial Times now suggests that Apple originally planned to produce around a million Vision Pro units in 2024, but it has scaled down its plan and now aims to produce only 150,000 units. The reports suggest that critical components are to blame, but it remains to be seen whether Apple will actually be able to sell a large number of these highly expensive devices.
Veeo launches transparent 30" and 55" OLED monitors with a behind-the-screen camera
US-based Veeo announce a new display called the T30, that is based on a transparent OLED panel with a behind-the-display camera. The T30 is a monitor that enables video communication with an aligned user line of sight.
The T30 is offered in two models, 30" and 50", both based on LG's transparent WOLED panels. Veeo will announce the price of its transparent OLED monitor towards the end of 2023.
Researchers design the world's highest-efficiency narrow-emission deep-blue TADF OLED emitter
Researchers from Korea's KAIST institute, in collaboration with Gyeongsang National University developed a new TADF OLED deep-blue emitter molecule that achieves an EQE of 33%. Combined with a fluorescent emitter to create a hyperfluorescence system, the researchers achieved an EQE of 35.4%, with mitigated efficiency roll-off. The researchers say that this is the world's highest-efficiency narrow-band deep-blue TADF OLED emitter.
To develop the new emitter the researchers introduced sterically hindered peripheral phenyl groups to boron-based TADF emitter. The resulting material, o-Tol-ν-DABNA-Me, offers a pure narrowband emission that is far less sensitive to concentration compared to standard TADF emitters.
