Mass Transfer – From Wafer to Display In many icroLED manufacturing platforms, at least one major transfer process is required—often two. Typically, devices move from the epiwafer to an intermediate interposer substrate and later from the interposer to the final display. Executing this step with precision, speed, and cost efficiency remains one of the industry’s most persistent challenges. At MicroLED Connect 2025 , leading innovators will unveil new solutions:
Coherent  will present a fully integrated laser-based mass transfer system designed to handle donor wafers and receiver panels—whether they’re backplanes or temporary carriers. Offering exceptional throughput, yield, and flexibility, the system can manage even the tiniest microLED dies.
Holst Centre  will introduce a proprietary release stack enabling rapid, selective microcomponent release with adaptive pitch using a cost-effective laser source. Recent results sh...

While several repair methods exist, they often fall short in resolution, versatility, or ease of integration. High Precision Capillary Printing (HPCaP) overcomes these limitations by leveraging capillary forces and mechanical resonance to deposit inks with micron and sub-micron precision, enabling accurate, reliable, and non-destructive repair of critical display components. 1. Introduction According to MarketsandMarkets the global display market size is expected to reach around USD 174 billion in 2029 growing at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2024 to 2029. The increased demand for displays in various industries especially the IT and healthcare industries, and the increased demand of interactive displays such as wearable devices, AR/VR products in addition to the adoption of flexible displays are the major factors driving this market growth.

Brad Martin , VueReal | bmartin@vuereal.com   MicroLEDs promise to reshape the future of displays and lighting - with higher brightness, lower power consumption, and longer lifespans than OLEDs. But for most innovators, that promise has remained just out of reach. Not due to lack of ideas or demand, but because of one persistent barrier: access.   That’s now starting to change, thanks to the arrival of Reference Design Kits (RDKs): pre-integrated microLED modules that empower engineers, designers, and developers to prototype and experiment - without custom fabrication, high-volume commitments, or massive investment. By dramatically lowering the barrier to entry and leveraging flexible manufacturing methods, RDKs are unlocking a new era of innovation - accelerating both the pace of discovery and the path to mass adoption. We are Exhibiting! Visit our booth at the MicroLED Connect & AR/VR Connect in Eindhoven on 24-25 September 2025 The Real Bottleneck: Access, Not Imagination Unlike OLED panels - which are widely available for prototyping and development - microLEDs have historically been locked behind technical and supply chain hurdles. Most companies simply can’t get their hands on the technology. Traditional microLED manufacturing typically requires highly specialized equipment, high-volume commitments, and extensive engineering integration, putting it out of reach for the majority of companies.   Even those who want to explore microLEDs in earnest are left to imagine ...
