Porotech Taps GaN-on-silicon Micro-LED Foundry Partner

Micro-LED technology developer Porotech has partnered with Taiwan’s Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. (PSMC) for the mass production of micro-LEDs on 200-mm gallium nitride (GaN)-on-silicon for consumer display applications. The partnership comes after Porotech partnered with Foxconn to accelerate its research and production of micro-LED technology last month.

Porotech’s "PoroGaN" microdisplay platform enables full-color or tunable color displays using identical pixels from a single wafer to achieve color uniformity while eliminating complex fabrication processes. The company unveiled its Dynamic Pixel Tuning technology during 2022’s Display Week. The technology has earned Porotech a nomination for a 2024 Prism Award in the AR/VR/MR category.
