In a special topic of interest segment on Micro\/Mini LEDs to be chaired by Rumiko Yamaguchi<\/span> (Akita Univ.) and co-chaired by Tauto Nakanishi (JNC), Steven Tsai<\/span>, Smartkem’s Head of Technology Transfer, will be delivering a presentation based on the publication of a technical paper titled ‘From Chip to Panel: High-Brightness, Low-Power Mini-LED Backlighting via MicroLED-in-Package (MiP4)’.<\/p>\n

First debuted at Touch Taiwan in April 2025<\/span>, and exhibited at Display Week in May 2025<\/span>, Smartkem’s first MicroLED-in-Package (MiP4) backlight using its proprietary technology has the potential to disrupt the global display market. Smartkem’s ‘chip-first’ MicroLED architecture introduces a breakthrough approach to MicroLED display manufacturing with a low temperature process that simplifies production, improves yields and delivers an enhanced display performance. This new MicroLED-in-Package (MiP4) backlight simplifies assembly and yield management for display manufacturers and is designed for seamless integration of MicroLEDs to enhance today’s Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) market, which represents approximately 65% of the global display industry1<\/sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

\n <\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\n We present MiP4, a Mini-LED structure integrating four sub-85um sized uLEDs in series via
RDL on glass. The chip supports native 12V operation, reducing power loss and SMT
complexity. Compared to COB, MiP4 reduces GaN usage by 84 percent while achieving
34,047 nits peak brightness in a 400-zone backlight.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table><\/div>\n

\n Steven Tsai<\/span> will be in attendance throughout the conference from December 3-5<\/span>, and available for 1-on-1 meetings to showcase\u00a0Smartkem’s first 12.3-inch MicroLED-in-Package (MiP4) backlight.<\/p>\n

\n Smartkem’s MiP4
<\/b>At the core of this advancement is Smartkem’s proprietary Redistribution Layer (RDL) material, which interconnects four chip-first MicroLEDs in a series to form a single high-voltage chip\u2014the MiP4. This MiP4 package is designed to replace existing MiniLED packages in LCD backlights and signage applications, offering:<\/p>\n
