Trailblazing technologies could banish the bottleneck that comes from picking and placing myriad microLEDs, as Richard Stevenson explains

Production challenge In late 2019, UK firm Plessey announced that it had produced red GaN-based LEDs on silicon substrates. Fabricating GaN LEDs emitting at such a long wavelength is challenging; the reward for success is a far better performance at elevated temperatures compared with incumbent AlGaInP-based LEDs.
