The University of Washington was awarded a $315,998 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to advance technology enabling advanced high-resolution full-color displays through new color conversion technologies. Under the NSF's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program, the University will develop a micro-color converter technology that combines micro-patterning methods and perovskite semiconductors to significantly reduce the number of steps required in micro-LED display manufacturing. By enabling the creation of a single blue micro-LED array with integrated color converters that absorb and emit specific wavelengths, the technology aims to transition micro-LED displays from research to commercial markets. The color converter technology leverages perovskite semiconductors' cost-effectiveness and compatibility with existing semiconductor processes while enabling lithographic patterning to maintain optical quality. This approach seeks to address manufacturing challenges that have impeded the development and adoption of next-generation augmented and virtual reality displays with higher resolutions.
