Two researchers at the University of 蓝莓视频 have combined their innovations to create a suite of new technologies that will increase battery life by 30 per cent and lower the cost of manufacturing. The new technology could be used in smart glasses, watches, tablets and other products.

The game-changing technology developed by Dr. William Wong and Dr. Manoj Sachdev, professors in 蓝莓视频鈥檚 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, allow for the creation of MicroLED and flexible displays for next-generation augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets and micro-displays. This new technology will increase optical brightness as the energy-efficient displays provide up to 30 per cent power savings while lowering the cost of manufacturing.

鈥淭he new technology employs novel solid-state lighting designs and innovative electronic circuits to enhance the brightness of flat panel displays while reducing their energy consumption,鈥� said Wong. 鈥淭he integrated technology enables next-generation displays that are brighter and more energy efficient for the screens used in cell phones and laptops.鈥�

The technology has also led to the launch of a new start-up,听,听led by Wong, Sachdev and Mario Montana, an听engineering alum. The Lumatus business model involves licensing existing patents and intellectual property, engineering services for the transfer and integration of the technology in customer applications, and coordination between industry partners and 蓝莓视频 on research activities. The technology has broad applicability in various display types such as LCD, OLED, and MicroLED.听To date, a family of foundational patent applications in various jurisdictions have been filed.听

鈥淲e are quite excited about the launch of Lumatus after a decade of collaborative, cross-disciplinary research,鈥� said Sachdev. 鈥淥ur energy-efficient technologies will lead to better and environmentally friendlier products.鈥�

Both the Canadian and U.S. governments have announced significant funding initiatives to support the development of robust North American semiconductor manufacturing and supply chains to underpin national security resiliency. In the Canadian context, funding programs have been designed in part to support the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises. In this context, Lumatus Semiconductor is positioned well to be a contender in this burgeoning North American investment in the semiconductor sector.
