Tiny displays, big impact: micro-LEDs for AI glasses
AI glasses have become increasingly popular because of their sleek form factor and value as a unique surface for personal AI using camera input and audio output. That said, the availability of a suitably small, low power, and bright display will be a key factor in driving large-scale adoption. This talk will introduce the first generation of micro-LED microdisplays that will revolutionize the industry by combining high resolution, high brightness, high energy efficiency with tiny form factor to enable truly compelling AI-powered glasses.

Engo, light AR for sport
User experience is centric to the development of AR technologies, and with the introduction of Engo, we understood how Light AR have become an essential tool for runners of all levels and will support the development of AR in the future. “One sunny morning, Julien, a passionate runner, prepares for his daily training. He puts on his glasses and starts running through the wooded trails. From the first steps, the glasses display his speed, distance covered, power and heart rate. Julien can also see indications of the best trajectories to follow to optimize his training as well as personalized advice based on his past performances…” This small story tells how much user experience is crucial in the development of AR technologies because it ensures that the technology is adopted, used, and appreciated by the greatest number of people. We will review these key elements which made Engo successful in LightAR.

Monolithic RGB micro-LED arrays on silicon with directional emission pave the way to cost effective high brightness low power consumption micro-displays for augmented reality
The major challenges of micro-displays for augmented reality are to find ways of drastically increasing the amount of lumens provided to the user eyes via an optical system with a projector form factor as small as possible while keeping the power consumption as low as possible. Micro-LED micro-displays can potentially meet those requirements because the brightness of micro-LEDs can be several orders of magnitude higher than the competitive technologies such as OLED or LCOS, and with an excellent contrast ratio. However, most of the micro-LED technologies experience efficiency loss when reducing the size of the micro-LEDs, provide a lambertian emission, which limits the coupling efficiency with an optical waveguide and need complex processes such as junction stacking or color conversion for RGB array manufacturing. Those issues limit the capability of those micro-LED technologies to produce efficient and cost competitive RGB micro-displays. Aledia has developed a technology allowing to grow on 200mm or 300mm Si wafers GaN nanowires (NWs). Those NWs can be used for manufacturing LED structures and Aledia has developed a technology allowing to grow in the same growth run the Red, Green and Blue active regions of a RGB array with a subpixel pitch that can be reduced down to 1.25µm. In addition, the periodic arrangement of the NWs in the subpixels allow to obtain a photonic crystal effect that greatly increases the directivity of the emission of the subpixels. In this presentation we will present results showing our capability to obtain RGB LED arrays in a single growth run as well as our capability to control the directionality of the emission.
