Today, 9th May 2019, BluGlass Limited (ASX:BLG) announced that X-Celeprint, a micro-transfer printing company and a foundry customer of the company, has successfully implemented BLGâs unique RPCVD p-GaN technology in high-performance microLED applications. RPCVD stands for Remote Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition. As per X-Celeprint, RPCVD p-GaN used in active matrix microLED displays has demonstrated excellent luminance with colour uniformity along with quantum efficiency and forward voltage equivalent to 2,000 cd/m2.
X-Celeprint's microtransfer printing technology offers cos alt efficiency along with scalable manufacturing platform to LEDs or integrated circuits and integrate lasers onto non-native substrates. X-Celeprint offers custom made designs for micro-transfer printing stamps as well as printers. BluGlass is commercialising breakthrough semiconductor RPCVD technology in the microLED, global LED, and power electronics industries. The company has patented hardware and processes, which provides manufacturers with unique performance advantages due to superior features of RPCVD, which has the ability to perform well in a low temperature and a low hydrogen growth conditions.
X-Celeprint has first adopted BluGlassâs RPCVD for microLED demonstrations. Mr Matt Meitl, X-Celeprintâs VP of Displays, stated that they are working with BluGlass to demonstrate its micro-transfer printing capability for microLED displays. They appreciate BluGlassâ creativity in epi-wafer design, unique capabilities in epitaxial growth, and dedication to continued product improvement, which makes BLG one of the important partners for their product development.
Dr Ian Mann, BluGlassâs Chief Technology Officer, stated that they are pleased to get rewarded for their long effort in developing RPCVD p-GaN to see the technology being trialled in the customer devices. Its application in the emerging microLED display market provides them with the opportunity to grow further. Till now, the microLED prototype has demonstrated good performance, and the company is excited to see their valuable partner X-Celeprint reaping benefits of using RPCVD in their innovative products.
