Foxconn Working with EQSRL and eLux to Develop Micro LED Direct View Displays
Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai) is reportedly developing AR smart glasses based on micro LED displays. The displays for the smart glasses have been developed by Electronic and Optoelectronic System Research Laboratories (EOSRL) under government-sponsored Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI).
Foxconn hopes to finish development of the AR glasses in 2022 and then put them into trial use in smart retail, smart factories and smart medical care. Since investing in US-based startup eLux in May 2017, Foxconn has been developing micro LED technology and Foxconn has struck a 3-year cooperation deal with EOSRL for licensed use of micro LED technology developed by the latter. EOSRL has developed blue-light micro LED of 5 microns in size and will match them with QD (quantum dot) technology to make panchromatic displays of over 2,000ppi in resolution, the sources said. The displays are expected to be available in first-quarter 2021, and EOSRL will keep modifying the optical architecture to improve display effects and integrate eye-tracking sensors and other ICs. eLux, Inc. was founded on October 13, 2016 as a spin-out from Sharp Laboratories of America. eLux develops direct emission displays based on microLED technology targeting large format displays for video wall and television applications. eLux's technology moves microLEDs from wafer to the target substrate using a fluidic process that embeds microLEDs dispersed in liquid complemented by wells built onto the substrate. The microLED dispersion is spread over the substrate and the LEDs fall into place - a sort of self-assembly process. A similar process for TFTs was tried by the now defunct Alien Corp. The investors in the company, in addition to Foxconn, through its subsidiary CyberNet Venture Capital Corp., is Sharp Corporation.
