Kura Technology, a supplier of AR headset technologies, and MICLEDI Microdisplays, a developer of microLED displays for AR glasses, have announced a partnership to produce augmented reality (AR) glasses.

Together, the two companies have been working on developing their AR glasses for more than a year. Kura was one of the first clients to use micro-LEDs from MICLEDI. The 300mm microLED displays from MICLEDI are used in the new glasses, which Kura designed to achieve the performance needed for its next generation of augmented reality (AR) glasses.

As part of the agreement, MICLEDI will continue to give Kura access to devices made in its 200mm fab. It will also provide the company early access to specially designed blue, green, and red devices produced in MICLEDI’s 300mm wafer foundry.

“MICLEDI is pleased to be an integral part of Kura’s innovation journey,” said Sean Lord, MICLEDI CEO. “It is very rewarding to serve the needs of a nimble, fast-paced customer like Kura, and it makes us a better company.”

Kura’s fast-paced product engineering team has dramatically benefited from MICLEDI’s quick turnaround 200mm prototype fabrication capacity and responsive staff of adept LED design and process expertise.

“More importantly, though, we feel that MICLEDI is well-positioned to achieve industry leadership in 300mm microLED fabrication, offering process advantages and direct compatibility with our high-performance custom 300mm backplane,” said Kelly Peng, founder, CEO and CTO of Kura.

MICLEDI also announced a partnership with GlobalFoundries in May of this year to produce its unique 300mm microLED designs with high volume, low cost, and mass production. According to the company’s CEO, collaborating with Kura should result in mutually beneficial timing and ramp-up strategies for mass production that are advantageous to both MICLEDI and GlobalFoundries.

Kura claims that the company’s proprietary architecture enables dynamic fault correction, allowing it to launch high-performance, 8K AR glasses with micro-LED panels this year rather than several years from now.
