VueReal is a Waterloo-based company working on next-generation ultra-high resolution emissive displayx000D
systems. More specifically, VueReal is developing a novel integration technique that enables the creation ofx000D
micro-LED displays in a variety of structures and form factors suitable for a wide range of portable applicationsx000D
such as cell-phones, head-up displays, pico-projectors, and smart watches as well as virtual reality (VR) andx000D
augmented reality (AR) devices. The micro-LED display market is expected grow from the current $225M tox000D
$19.9B in 2025, a 54% compounded annual growth rate. VueReal is therefore positioned to establish ax000D
leadership role as a designer and manufacturer in this emerging market. However, VueReal is currently facing ax000D
challenge in that the efficiency of its LEDs decreases when device dimensions are reduced to few micrometers,x000D
the size scale required for micro-LED displays. The nature and causes of this efficiency droop in the small sizex000D
LEDs is still unknown. In this project, Aziz's group at the University of Waterloo will work with VueReal tox000D
study and analyze the efficiency performance of its LEDs with the purpose of elucidating the factors behind thex000D
efficiency droop behaviour. The obtained knowledge will then be utilized for developing new device designx000D
and/or process flow that will mitigate this undesired effect. The collaboration will enable VueReal to solvex000D
this problem, and thus create knowledge-based technology products that will enable Canadian manufacturers tox000D
penetrate the emerging market for augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR) displays for the consumer electronicsx000D
market. The successful outcome will produce a manufacturing capability based on existing micro-fabricationx000D
techniques will create a transformational technology that can leverage existing Canadian infrastructure in thex000D
consumer electronics sector.
