Marcy's Musings: The Growing IndustryFoxconn Partners with Porotech to Accelerate Commercialization of MicroLED Microdisplay for AR Applications
December 19, 2023 | FoxconnEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn), the world's largest electronics manufacturer and technology service provider, and Poro Technologies Ltd (Porotech), a pioneer in GaN-based semiconductor technology and a global fabless MicroLED company, announce a strategic partnership in MicroLED Microdisplays for augmented reality (AR) applications.
This partnership will assemble Foxconn’s proprietary technologies in semiconductor wafer manufacturing, packaging, IC drivers, CMOS backplanes, module assembly, system assembly and Porotech’s world leading technologies in PoroGaN® MicroLEDon-Silicon (uLEDoS), Dynamic Pixel Tuning® (DPT®), GaN-on-Silicon platform. The end product will target ultra-high-density and energy efficient MicroLED Microdisplays for AR applications, wearable, and smart devices.
The microLED device for AR applications has great potential, but at the same time is quite challenging. It involves multiple disciplines including semiconductor wafer manufacturing, hybrid bond, IC design, optoelectronics, quantum physics, and optics. Integration across these different fields is difficult and progress has been slow. In the past, no single company possesses such a big portfolio of expertise. With this partnership, we expect to expedite the research and productization of MicroLED technology and push the AR application to a new era. Foxconn's strength in supply chain management is also expected to contribute at the mass production stage.
Foxconn and Porotech share the vision and goal of MicroLED Microdisplay technology for AR applications. Both parties are enthusiastic about the potential outcomes of this collaboration to reshape the AR landscape.
Dr Bob Chen, GM of Foxconn’s semiconductor business group, commented:
“Our strategic alliance with Porotech will accelerate development of MicroLED Microdisplays. It is one step closer to tapping into the tremendous opportunities that AR can bring to the world. We are excited to collaborate with Porotech to integrate many technologies from different fields.”
Dr Tongtong Zhu, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Porotech, added: “Our collaboration with Foxconn signifies a momentous step forward for MicroLED Microdisplays and AR. This strategic partnership speaks volumes about our shared dedication to innovation and excellence. GaN on Silicon's role in uLEDoS tech advancement is undeniable. An exciting road lies ahead with Foxconn, propelling MicroLED Microdisplays with our mutual partners and customers with collective triumph and significant growth in the MicroLED revolution!”
