GaN-based LEDs have established themselves over the last three decades as the dominant light source for the automotive sector up to general lighting. In contrast to these large-area highperformance LEDs, microLEDs (µLEDs) with dimensions of 1 to 50 µm are becoming increasingly interesting, mainly driven by developments in display technology. Beyond this application purpose, many other applications can be derived and have been proven by QubeDot’s SMILE Platform. SMILE is an acronym for “Structured Micro Illumination Light Engine” and covers our microLED array product range with different pixel counts and sizes, wavelengths and intensities. All light sources are directly driven via computer and pattern creation works out of the box. Technical details of these SMILE platforms and pilot application examples on how to utilize them within each application will be presented in the talk.
Jan Gülink is the CTO of QubeDot and responsible for the development of microLED Platforms with highest intensities and modulation bandwidths.Jan earned his master’s degree in “Nano Systems Engineering” at the University of Technology in Braunschweig, Germany. He initiated the holistic system development of µLED Platforms as a Project Leader of the incubation project ‘Superlight Photonics’ in 2017. Afterwards, he founded the QubeDot GmbH together with Heiko Brüning in 2019 to explore the full potential of microLEDs in various applications.
