Augmented Reality Display Driver

Microdisplay Design Challenge

Customer need: Silicon Backplanes Design

A world leader in designing and manufacturing high-resolution Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal on Silicon (FLCoS) devices, the customer needed a partner to design the Silicon Backplanes. Our UK team brought deep expertise and proprietary IP in Silicon Backplane design and the Microdisplay market to support this requirement.

The project has evolved into a long-term partnership that has remained active for more than 15 years.

Engineering Solution: Evolving a family of drivers

Evolving a family of drivers with a range of operation and functionality has been key to the ongoing success of this relationship.

Initially developing designs on a 250nm process, we are now producing on 162nm technology. Throughout this evolution, our input has remained flexible, continuously adapting to changing market demands and supporting the development of innovative specifications and designs.

This collaborative approach has helped our customer maintain a leading-edge position in an increasingly competitive microdisplay landscape. 

Outcome: Modular & Superior Displays

We have enabled the creation of a scalable family of devices that can be finely tuned at the level of key features and individual elements. This modularity allows our customer to precisely target specific display resolutions and performance requirements across multiple markets and end-applications. 

Our collaborative working model has given our customer both flexibility and the security of a stable, long-term technology partner. The alignment of technical expertise with business objectives has been an important factor in helping our customer consistently deliver superior display solutions over an extended period.
