: High yield electrical connections to micro-LEDs via the chip-first OTFT backplane process
High Tech Campus, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
Auditorium, Ground Floor
Dr. Ogier will discuss Smartkem's chip-first active-matrix fabrication approach that connects MicroLEDs to low-temperature OTFT backplanes, which is an architecture designed to improve yield, simplify repair, and accelerate commercialization of high-performance MicroLED displays. This approach builds on Smartkem's recent public presentations and publications on low-temperature (<150 °C) OTFT processes for MicroLED manufacturing.
