Our microdisplays are based on the monolithic integration of OLEDs on silicon chips to control the individual pixels. These chips or wafers can also be used to drive and read out alternative active layers. Examples would be display technologies based on quantum dots or micro LEDs.
Our research and development work at Fraunhofer IPMS focuses on the development of OLED microdisplays for AR and VR data glasses as well as for use in sensor applications. The display concept and parameters such as resolution, pixel size and integrated additional functions can be varied within a wide range for specific applications or customers. The spectrum ranges from ultra-low-power displays for small and lightweight data glasses to high-resolution HD displays for VR glasses and viewfinders up to bidirectional displays with embedded image sensor functionality for fingerprint sensors or eyetracking data glasses.
