Value Proposition
Ingantec’s breakthrough technology enables the creation of the world's first ever, bright red microLEDs below 10µm like no others. Ingantec’s business strategy is to combine cutting-edge academic research with its own innovations in wide-bandgap semiconductors to overcome key challenges in microLED efficiency, color performance, and scalable manufacturing. By actively pursuing strategic partnership and licensing opportunities, Ingantec is at the forefront in driving and delivering monolithic RGB microLED solutions for AR, smart wearables as well as automotive and mobile applications.
AR / VR Devices
Ingantec's microLEDs are perfect for products that require the smallest pixel size and the highest level of light emission. With Ingantec, you can pack more pixels into the eye piece of your Augmented Realty (AR) glasses or Virtual Realty (VR) headsets. This means a vibrant display with better response times and more accurate colors than ever before.
Smart Watches
Through porous III-nitride semiconductor technology, Ingantec enables sharper images and crisp texts on smart watches. Our displays use less power, leading to longer battery life on the smallest of devices.
Automotive
With advances in LiDAR, on-vehicle cameras and collision avoidance systems, modern automobiles demand dashboards having the best visual ergonomics and the most comprehensive infotainment system. For control, navigation and entertainment, Ingantec's microLEDs can enable heads-up displays with high contrast ratio against sunlight or glare, creating a safer and more visually pleasing experience at any viewing angle.
Smart Phones, Monitors and TVs
MicroLEDs are not only preferred but are known to be superior to OLED and traditional TFT-LCD in terms of display range, quality, speed and stability. Over time, microLEDs will bring longer lasting and more dynamic display panels to phones, notepads, monitors and TVs, at a competitive cost.
Eliminating the pain point of microLED display applications
The primary pain point for InGaN-based red microLEDs stems from the large lattice mismatch between the high-indium concentration required for light emitting diodes and its GaN buffer layer. To achieve true red emission, the indium content within the Multiple Quantum Wells (MQWs) must be significantly increased (typically above 35%), which creates intensive compressive strain. This strain leads to high defect densities, inefficient radiative recombination, and spectral blue shifts as the injection current increases.
These challenges are critical because the industry has been relying on AlGaInP (phosphide) for red pixels, while blue and green are based on InGaN (nitride). However, AlGaInP suffers from severe size-dependent efficiency degradation, while integrating two different material systems complicates manufacturing, requiring expensive and low-yield "pick-and-place" mass transfer processes.
To overcome these material and production challenges, Ingantec offers a proprietary, patent-pending technology platform that enables efficient, spectrally stable, and production-friendly red microLED that is compatible with existing green and blue GaN-based microLEDs. The result is the "holy grail" of microLEDs, a monolithic RGB integration on a single wafer, dramatically reducing costs and increasing pixel density.
Ingantec solves these bottlenecks through advanced strain engineering, novel epitaxial architectures, and MOCVD growth processes. By taking a holistic approach, the Ingantec methodology allows the growth of high-quality, high-indium MQWs at higher temperatures, which minimize defect formation and enhance structural integrity. The result is a red microLED that maintains high brightness and efficiency even at the ultra-small scale (sub-10 μm) and ultra-high current density (40-150 A/㎠).
