OLED microdisplays have so far been developed predominantly on 200mm wafers. These conventional CMOS technologies and the associated backplane design have limited the number and size of pixels until now. At the Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP (Dresden, Germany), OLED microdisplays have been realised for the first time in a 28-nanometre backplane technology on 300mm wafers within the "Backplane" project funded by the Saxon State Ministry of Economics, Labour and Transport (SMWA).
