Micro LEDforum 2018

 

 

Overview

With Micro LED entering different applications, LEDinside this year has invited industry experts in Taiwan and from around the world to dissect the development of the technology and its major bottlenecks.

Starting from epi-wafer and chip manufacturing, solutions will be presented from the angles of chip fabrication solutions and equipment technologies. Then, industry representatives from eLux, Uniqarta, QMAT, KIMM, and other organizations will be discussing their respective methods for mass transfer. Following that, Nitride Semiconductors and Topcon will respectively unveil a full color conversion technology based on micro UV LED chips and an inspection process for verifying colors and brightness of Micro LEDs. Additionally, Macroblock will be introducing its latest driver IC designs for Micro LED displays.

LEDinside pioneered in hosting Micro LEDforum, the world's first inter-industry conference on Micro LED technology. It is an annual event for LED giants, startups and investors in Micro LED industry. Particularly, this years’ forum will share more insights on overcoming technical challenges in Micro LED display manufacturing.
