beeOLED builds Blue Emitter Materials for OLED

German startup beeOLED builds a blue elementary emitter for the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) using intra-metallic transition. The emitter is designed around a single atom where all the light generation happens. This process involves no chemical bond, so it is nearly completely stable. beeOLED uses Europium to develop a series of stabilized blue Eu2+ complexes.

These are air-stable, have almost unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), and sublimes without any decomposition.The process relies on the right combination of specific anions and ligands, which fit the emitter color and energy levels into the relevant OLED host. The products are suitable for big OLED display customers looking for high-quality display performance.

Igantec produces Advanced Red MicroLEDs

US-based startup Ingantec builds red micro LEDs below 10 nanometers. The bright red micro LED is compatible with blue and green micro LEDs. The use of micro LED eliminates the mass transfer of pixels, which leads to a more efficient manufacturing process. The proprietary technology relies on advanced product designing using compound semiconductor material. The micro LEDs are suitable for products that require small pixel size and high light emission like AR/VR devices.

For smart watches, Igantec ensures sharper images and crisp texts with porous 3-nitride semiconductor technology. Further, it is suitable for automobiles, smartphones, monitors, and TVs. Consumer electronics companies and display manufacturers use 4 or 6-inch red/green/blue wafers or monolithic RGB wafers. These wafers complement metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS)/ control integrated circuits (IC) in the backplane.

Excyton supports Display Power Consumption Reduction

UK-based startup Excyton develops TurboLED to reduce display power consumption, which makes displays more colorful and bright. It combines novel pixel design and image processing algorithms to significantly reduce display power consumption while extending the battery life. In the TurboLED architecture, the light green, red, and blue sub-pixels are used for image pixels.

It comes in two designs, one with side-by-side placement of pixels, and another with stacked pixels. The power saved by the TurboLED design is reinvested into the display again to make the display brighter. It is compatible with existing OLED displays as well as the next-generation emissive displays like micro LEDs and QLEDs. It is suitable for mobile devices, IT displays, automotive displays, gaming monitors, and AR/VR.
