Augmented and virtual reality (VR) devices are starting to play a game-changing role in this information age**and already present new opportunities and challenges to the technology and manufacturing sectors. VR helps**capture as much multi-sensory experience as possible, overcoming the limitations of human body. VR and**near-eye devices will strongly benefit (i) aerospace, (ii) defense, (iii) medical, (iv) transportation, (v)**entertainment, and (vi) display privacy sectors in the very near future. Combined augmented and VR markets**are predicted to exceed USD150 billion by 2022. These devices impose high performance standards for the**displays demanding micron-scale pixel pitches, low power consumption, high brightness, high color gamut,**fast response, and low cost. Existing display manufacture technologies are either incompatible or**cost-prohibitive to meet the demands of micron-scale pixilation. Addressing these issues, VueReal Inc. and**researchers from University of Waterloo will develop a high efficient, low-cost, micro-LED manufacturing**technology that is both innovative and ahead in the field. This project will develop a novel technology for**micro-pixelation and cartridge transfer, solid-print bonding technology, quantum dot-enabled color patterning**processes employing non-toxic materials, and area-efficient, low power driving smart circuits to enable the**micro-LED arrays to yield a novel, efficient, and highly cost-effective display technology for future near-eye,**VR, and flexible device applications.
