MicroLEDs: A Marriage of Brightness, Efficiency, and Possibility — With Hongxing Jiang and Jingyu Lin

About 20 years ago, Hongxing Jiang and Jingyu
Lin published a paper describing the microLED. Since the
publishing of that seminal work, microLEDs have seen
commercialization in automotive and industrial lighting
applications, but for much of that time, Jiang and Lin’s
envisioned application in display technology had been simmering
on the backburner. Now, the technology is becoming a household
name. With the holiday season approaching, consumers shopping for
a new TV are noticing that the top of the line isn’t just
populated with OLED models. While manufacturing challenges
remain, microLEDs offer a wonderful marriage of efficiency,
brightness, and sheer possibility, even beyond display and
lighting applications. In this episode, Jiang and Lin discuss the
path from paper to commercialization, and the road ahead and what
possibilities the future holds. Sponsored by: Block Engineering
