Light Digitalization

Expand horizon of micro-LED technology and continue to create new markets in multiple use-cases. Let's drive further innovations together!

About

Concept

The concept build started in 2018 with a goal to ensure sufficient brightness and at the same time, improve flexibility in projection. Our ambition was to create new applications in the market and, as is Nichia's forever goal, contribution to society. Together with Infineon Technologies, we created the development of the bright and stable micro-LED, the high-performance ASIC to drive pixels, and the technology to combine and integrate them. While challenges had to be overcome, mass production started in early 2023.
Let's together take proactive, positive and innovative steps today to create a better and brighter future.

μLED Light Source

Micro-LED matrix light source integrating with heterogeneous semiconductor functions, Lighting and Manipulation into one package.

Stable brightness under high load contributions achieved by 16,384 high brightness micro-LEDs - Lighting Technology.
Pixel controlled ASIC for micro-LED driving and monitoring, power distribution and signal processing - Manipulating Technology.
Three-dimensional mounting with micro-LEDs and custom ASIC, integrating the control engine directly under the micro-LEDs - Integrating Technology.

This was achieved through a cooperative joint development framework with Infineon Technologies.
