Polar Light Technologies wins €1.1m EU grant
Funding will help fast-track dual-colour microLED microdisplay breakthrough
Polar Light Technologies, a Swedish maker of microLED and nanoLED technology, has been awarded an EU Eurostars grant.
The 18-month project, named 2ndGenmicroLED, aims to deliver the world’s first dual-colour microLED microdisplay prototype built on a bottom-up pyramidal LED architecture and has a total budget of €1,100,000. German die bonding leader Finetech GmbH & Co. KG joins the consortium, contributing its expertise in high-accuracy die attach and advanced packaging.
The project responds to a rapidly growing need for smaller, brighter, and more energy-efficient microdisplays for next-generation Head-Up Displays (HUD) and spatial computing platforms.
“Securing this EU grant is a strong endorsement of Polar Light Technologies and our next-generation microLED platform,” said Oskar Fajerson, CEO of Polar Light Technologies. “The Eurostars funding validates both the scientific excellence of our bottom-up pyramidal technology and its commercial potential. With this support, we will accelerate development toward a dual-colour demonstrator — a critical milestone on our path to monolithic RGB microdisplay.”
“Next-generation microdisplays demand extreme bonding accuracy,” said Carlotta Baumann, CEO of Finetech. “Finetech brings its ultra-precise bonding expertise to integrate dual-colour microLEDs and ensure a seamless transition from prototype development to scalable production.”
