Display startup Q-Pixel is claiming a world first– a full-color display boasting 5000 ppi, more than doubling the current record of 2000 pixels per inch, held by ITRI of Taiwan.
“(Q-Pixel Inc.) announces the world’s first full-color, ultra-high resolution microLED display, establishing a groundbreaking new milestone in the display industry. For the first time, using their proprietary Polychromatic microLED technology, Q-Pixel has achieved full-color LED display with a world record-breaking pixel density of 5000 pixels per inch (PPI), surpassing the current world record of 2000 PPI held by ITRI of Taiwan. Q-Pixel’s revolutionary new technology is a game-changer to the display industry,” reads the company’s announcement.
Q-Pixel claims that several bottlenecks in microLED display technology were solved in order to create their display, such as the limitation of needing individually colored LEDs. The company states that they were able to circumvent the issue by creating a 4-micron pixel with “color tuning” capabilities.
“Q-Pixel’s proprietary Polychromatic microLED technology introduces full-color tunability across a single 4-micron pixel, replacing the century-old single-color LED and addressing several decades-long challenges to the microdisplay industry. Q-Pixel’s tunable, full-color single-pixel LED eliminates the need for pick-and-place (a key bottleneck in traditional LED display assembly), while at the same time enabling ultra-high pixel density,” continued Q-Pixel.
