Plessey and JDC Partner on Micro LED Technology

UK firm Plessey Semiconductors announced a strategic partnership with Jasper Display Corp (JDC) of Taiwan. Plessey intends to utilize JDC’s silicon backplane to drive the monolithic microLED displays produced on Plessey’s proprietary GaN-on-Silicon (GaN-on-Si) wafers. JDC tailored the eSP70 silicon backplane for the requirements of micro LED devices. The full-color-capable active matrix backplane provides a resolution of 1920×1080 and features pixel pitch of just 8µm. JDC says that the backplane offers superior current uniformity using a proprietary current source pixel as well as flexible addressing.
