SEPTEMBER, 202119 Founded in 2016 as a spin-out from Sharp Laboratories, our objective is to develop MicroLED technology-based direct emission displays that suit large format video wall and television applicationsLee. Unlike conventional mass-transfer technology that preserves MicroLED positions from LED wafer to display, eLux's fluidic self-align assembly harvests know-good-MicroLED and randomizes them prior to assembly. This not only eliminates `mura' problems but also provides an opportunity to fabricate defect-free displays without a repair process.With such a powerful value proposition, eLux partnered with a display collaborator in Taiwan to assemble several display modules in a few days to make a tiled display demo for a trade show, Touch Taiwan. The speed and simplicity of fluidic assembly allow the company to be responsive to customer requests. Moving ahead, the development labs at eLux are tirelessly working to mitigate the challenges of scale up from R&D level development to prototype fabrication, making more displays to optimize the processes for product manufacturing. To do this, it offers IP licensing and technology transfer opportunities to companies that are likely to enter the MicroLED display market. "With innovation embedded in our corporate DNA, we're always on a drive to embrace new things and stay ahead of the curve. Now, we are moving aggressively to develop Gen 3.5 or Gen 6 tools," concludes Lee.
