From the Back Cover

THE FUTURE OF DISPLAYS MAY BE MICROSCOPIC.
THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE IS ANYTHING BUT SMALL.
A modern microLED display can require millions—or tens of millions—of individually controlled inorganic emitters. Each must perform efficiently, reproduce color accurately, survive manufacturing, integrate with electronics, and operate reliably throughout the product's lifetime.
Making one excellent microLED is difficult.
Making millions of them work together is an entirely different engineering problem.
MicroLED Devices and Systems takes you from the physics of the individual emitter to the engineering and economics of the finished display.
🔬 DISCOVER THE COMPLETE TECHNOLOGY CHAIN
PHYSICS — Understand recombination, efficiency, polarization, surface effects, thermal behavior, and the consequences of shrinking LEDs to microscopic dimensions.
FABRICATION — Explore epitaxy, lithography, etching, passivation, contacts, substrate separation, thin-film formation, and device integration.
ASSEMBLY — Examine mass-transfer technologies, placement accuracy, transfer yield, redundancy, defect detection, and repair.
DISPLAY ENGINEERING — Master backplanes, pixel circuits, modulation, color conversion, photometry, colorimetry, calibration, and uniformity.
RELIABILITY — Understand degradation, lifetime physics, qualification, standards, safety, and optical/electrical metrology.
MANUFACTURING — Connect yield, process control, throughput, capital requirements, cost structure, and application-specific economics.
From televisions and automotive displays to augmented-reality microdisplays and emerging emitter technologies, this book reveals not only how microLED systems work, but what determines whether they can work at scale.
Understand the physics. Engineer the process. Integrate the display. Solve the system.

From the Inside Flap

FROM MICROSCOPIC EMITTER TO COMPLETE DISPLAY SYSTEM
MicroLED technology promises exceptional brightness, efficiency, lifetime, contrast, and new possibilities for everything from enormous direct-view displays to extremely compact augmented-reality systems.
Delivering that promise, however, requires solving problems that cross nearly every boundary in modern display engineering.
MicroLED Devices and Systems: Fundamentals, Fabrication, and Display Applications provides an integrated journey through this rapidly developing field.
Beginning with semiconductor and LED device physics, the book explores light extraction, III-nitride heterostructures, epitaxy, red-emitter challenges, lithography, etching, sidewall recombination, passivation, contacts, thin-film formation, mass transfer, repair, redundancy, and backplane integration.
It then advances into native RGB architectures, quantum-dot color conversion, pixel circuits, greyscale and timing, photometry, colorimetry, calibration, degradation, qualification, metrology, yield modelling, manufacturing control, cost structure, and emerging applications.
Inside you will explore:
Semiconductor physics and microLED efficiency
Light extraction and micro-optics
III-nitride and AlGaInP emitter technologies
MOCVD growth and device fabrication
Sidewall damage and passivation
Mass transfer, yield, redundancy and repair
Hybrid bonding and backplane integration
