PixelDisplay is enabling the next generation of eye-safe displays, enhancing viewing experiences by making LED, LCD, OLED and Micro-LED display devices healthier, more colorful, brighter, battery-efficient, and portable.
1. VividColor Eye-Safe technology applies a novel approach to LED and LED-backlit LCD designs, that enables Eye-Safe with no hazardous blue wavelengths, Wide-Color Gamut with HDR, and brighter for Daylight Readability with less battery power.
2. NanoBright is an inorganic color-converting nanoparticle, that is NOT a Quantum Dot, creating a more robust approach to nano-patterned color-conversion. Effectively eliminating pick&place in Micro-LED display, and enabling patterned emissive color filters to increase LCD efficiency 66%. Additionally, nanopatterned into plasmonic and photonic structures to create highly functional films capable of color-converting+filtering+colimating+polarizing in one thin-film stack, for flexible/foldable bezel-less, thinner mobile devices.
A. VividColor Eye-Safe creates displays and lighting that are eye-safe, colorful and more efficient.
The technology is a novel approach to LED and LED-backlit LCD designs, that enables three modes: i. Normal (HDR Wide-Color Gamut), ii. Eye-Safe (no hazardous blue wavelengths), and iii. Daytime (brighter for less battery power) modes.
Technology consists of:
- Vivid Color Materials: Inorganic Phosphor and Nano-Phosphor
- NoBlue LED Chip & Package design
- Digital Controller IC, and Graphics Chip design
- System Design & Software IP
B. NanoBright
