Lumiode is developing an integrated LED array for head-mounted displays, head-up displays, and projection displays using single LEDs as pixels - thereby addressing the need for a high brightness, low power, and compact form factor required for new and emerging application areas. Spun-out of Columbia Universityâs Laboratory for Unconventional Electronics, the firm is developing a new method of integrating high performance silicon circuitry with optoelectronic compound semiconductors. This technology thus combines efficient, high brightness light output with the ability precisely to control individual pixels. Lumiode's technology uses a photolithographically pixelated LED as both the light source and the image component. As a result, Lumiodeâs micro-display platform is 30x brighter and between 5-10x more efficient compared to other display technologies operating with spatial light modulators. The firm is also investigating visible light display applications, such as micro-displays, head-mounted displays, projection displays and head-up displays, along with non-visible light applications like depth scanning and 3D printing. Lumiode's devices will allow for the high brightness, low power consumption, and compact form factors required for current and emerging application are
