Gallium nitride micro-LEDs: a novel, multi-mode, high-brightness and fast response display technology

Abstract

Gallium nitride micro-LED technology interfaces very effectively to silicon CMOS to facilitate highly sophisticated data modulation and structured lighting functions. This rapidly emerging capability is poised to play a key role in the prospective convergence of displays with communications, lighting, sensing and imaging systems, including multiple scenarios where the display can be interactive with its environment. We will provide an overview of these new capabilities which are challenging conventional conceptions of display technology and set these in the broader context of the evolution of micro-LEDs.
