Applied Materials reported earlier on an innovative approach to uLED-based front plane technology using a single wavelength GaN LED emitter with Cd-free quantum dots for color conversion. This proprietary uLED front plane technology incorporates several key innovations such as the use of high external quantum efficiency dice in ultraviolet wavelength spectrum (vs. red/green/blue), highest photon extraction efficiency at small die-size, fewer number of mass transfer steps with high yield, and a four-subpixel backplane architecture to allow for a simple, cost-effective repair strategy. In this presentation, Applied Materials will report on its progress in the performance of key display components, aforementioned manufacturing tools and scalable processes.
