This shrinks the smallest practical pixel size from today\u2019s 30\u00b5m to just 4\u00b5m, a reduction of 87%.<\/p>\n<p>The process will enable the production of smaller, higher-resolution, microLED displays in applications such as AR\/VR devices, watches, and mobile devices, while enhancing both colour rendition and energy efficiency.<br \/>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7565662001938327\" data-ad-slot=\"7585079586\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><br \/>\nFor pixels of 30\u00b5m or greater, colour conversion is currently performed by adding phosphors to the blue die.<\/p>\n<p>However, since the smallest phosphor particle is around 30\u00b5m, the efficiency of colour conversion deteriorates as the pixel size shrinks. Nanoco\u2019s CFQD quantum dot technology overcomes this limitation while facilitating efficient, compact device packaging.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuantum dots offer the best solution for today\u2019s emerging display requirements. The nano-sized emitters with narrow band emission make them a suitable solution for Plessey\u2019s microLED display roadmap, which will see pixels being driven down to 4\u00b5m in size by 2019,\u201d said Mike Lee, President of Corporate and Business Development at Plessey.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Brian Gally, Nanoco\u2019s Head of Product commented: \u201cWe are thrilled to be working in close collaboration with Plessey, who lead the global field in the development and production of mircroLED arrays. The combination of Plessey\u2019s blue microLEDs with Nanoco\u2019s red and green cadmium free quantum dots gives display customers the performance they require to rapidly commercialise products.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Compared with all other display technologies, microLEDs are brighter, smaller, lighter, more energy-efficient and have a longer operating life. Where they replace OLEDs, for example in AR\/VR goggles or head-up displays, Plessey microLEDs offer ten times the resolution, 100 times the contrast ratio, and up to 1,000 times the luminance. They do so at half the power consumption, doubling battery life in portable devices. They also feature perfect blacks, realistic colour, and immunity to burn-in or decay over time.<\/p>\n<p>Plessey will be showcasing its microLED technology at the event in the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas between the 8th and 11th of January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plessey Semiconductors and Nanoco Technologies\u00a0announces a partnership to shrink the pixel size of monolithic microLED displays using Nanoco\u2019s cadmium free quantum dot (CFQD quantum dots) semiconductor nanoparticle technology.
