With SID2025, Aledia promises innovation in MICRO-LED displays.

Aledia is a micro-LED R&D startup headquartered in Grenoble, France, which was spun out from the French National Scientific Institute CEA-Leti in 2011. LEDs and plans to supply them for all display applications that require them. The company claims that the properties of nanowires make them energy efficient and suitable for high resolution, but if the pixels are configured in the form of m x n arrays, they will also be the best choice for large-area, high-brightness product lines.

University of Michigan team boosts blue phosphorescent OLED lifetime. A breakthrough toward solving the “blue problem” in displays

May 2025 — A research team led by Professor Stephen R. Forrest at the University of Michigan has developed a deep blue phosphorescent OLED (PhOLED) that simultaneously achieves up to more than 10 times longer lifetime and high color purity, addressing the long-standing challenge of blue OLEDs. The results are published in the latest issue of Nature Photonics, and a related paper was presented at SID2025.

SID 2025, TCL exhibits inkjet OLEDs from 6.5 inches to 65 inches… Will mass production shake up the display market?

At the SID 2025 Display Week, TCL showcased various sizes of inkjet OLED products. The inkjet method is considered to be a technology that is advantageous in reducing material costs compared to the vacuum deposition method due to its high utilization efficiency of luminescent materials. TCL officially announced the mass production of a 21.6-inch 4K inkjet OLED professional display in November 2024, and is currently considering investment for mass production.
