Aledia Unveils Revolutionary MicroLED Tech at CES 2025, Aiming to Transform AR Displays
January 8, 2025After 12 years of research and development, Aledia has invested $600 million and secured nearly 300 patents, successfully addressing critical challenges such as power consumption and manufacturing costs.
The company has launched a state-of-the-art microLED production line in Grenoble, France, with a $200 million investment aimed at advancing smart glasses for the consumer market.
Aledia's Champagnier factory in Europe is equipped to produce large quantities of microLEDs, supporting nearly 5,000 wafer starts per week.
The innovative hybrid bonding technology developed by Aledia integrates microLED and driver electronics, resulting in thinner designs and extended battery life for AR devices.
Aledia's microLED displays feature a monolithic structure that combines Red, Green, and Blue microLEDs on the same substrate, enhancing efficiency and functionality for AR applications.
The new microLED technology offers significant advantages over traditional 2D displays, including superior brightness, energy efficiency, pixel density, and resolution.
Pierre Laboisse, Aledia's CEO, stated that their technology is set to phase out OLED and LCOS displays in favor of microLED by the next CES.
Aledia's advancements position Grenoble as a leading hub in the global microLED production landscape, fostering European innovation in display technology.
Laboisse emphasized the importance of creating screens that are both sleek and functional to fully unlock the potential of AR technology.
Visitors to CES 2025 can experience Aledia's cutting-edge technology firsthand at Booth 60711-04 in Eureka Park at the Venetian.
At CES 2025, Aledia unveiled its groundbreaking microLED technology, which aims to revolutionize augmented reality (AR) displays.
As major tech companies shift focus to microLED for smart glasses, prototypes are anticipated to enter the market by 2027, despite existing hardware challenges.
