At the Society for Information Display (SID) Display Week 2018 event in Los Angeles on 24 May, Dr Keith Strickland - chief technology officer of Plessey Semiconductors Ltd of Plymouth, UK - is presenting a paper on the future of microLED displays using next-generation technologies and highlighting the benefits of Plessey’s proprietary gallium nitride on silicon (GaN-on-Si) technology.

“Holding a growing number of patents for the implementation of GaN-on-Si technology in microLED display design and manufacturing, Plessey is very close to announcing some major partnerships and the launch of new photonic solutions to enable OEMs to develop truly wearable augmented reality devices,” says Strickland.

Plessey’s participation at Display Week 2018 (20-25 May) follows the firm winning the Tech Company of the Year category at the National Technology Awards, which celebrates technology pioneers and encourages excellence in the UK. Winners were revealed at an awards ceremony on 17 May at the Waldorf Hilton hotel in London with over 300 guests in attendance.
