Abstract
iBeam Materials is developing a revolutionary new technology to make paper-thin and ultra-flexible monolithic microLED displays. This new technology is based on using ion-beam crystal alignment to fabricate epitaxial GaN films on flexible metal foil. This approach will eliminate the traditional restrictions for the form factor of displays, redefining what devices look like and opening up new classes of mobile, wearable, lighting, signage and instrumentation products. These products will be enabled by the ability to make flexible sheets of LEDs at low cost. The sheets of LEDs, produced by roll-to-roll manufacturing, will allow large-area monolithic integration of LEDs and active transistor devices. MicroLEDs made on robust sheets of thin metal foil will in this way deliver the super-bright and power efficient displays of the future.
