AUO Corporation (“AUO”) and Aledia today announced a strategic partnership to develop a new generation of microLED display technology combining high brightness, low power consumption, and high resolution.

The collaboration will integrate Aledia’s high-voltage microLED (µLED) technology—based on its proprietary 3D nanowire architecture—onto AUO’s advanced display backplane.

The project has been selected as part of the France–Taiwan cooperation funding program, announced in Paris on March 31, 2026, in the presence of representatives from both governments and industry.

The objective is to enable energy-efficient, high-performance displays addressing the growing demand for next-generation display technologies. By combining AUO’s expertise in display engineering and system integration with Aledia’s microLED technology designed for high-volume semiconductor manufacturing, the partnership aims to accelerate the industrialization of microLED displays and support their adoption across emerging applications.

Beyond display use cases, the collaboration also opens opportunities in adjacent domains such as optical interconnects for AI data centers and microLED-based solutions for augmented reality devices.

“This marks the beginning of a close and strategic partnership between AUO and Aledia. While we are starting with displays, we are looking to extend our collaboration beyond, opening opportunities in optical interconnects for AI data centers, as well as augmented reality glasses.” said Ness Benamran, CFO of Aledia.

AUO and Aledia acknowledge the support of the Taiwanese and French governments in fostering this collaboration, which contributes to strengthening innovation ecosystems and advancing microLED technologies on a global scale.

The partnership was formally introduced in Paris in the presence of Taiwan’s Minister of Economic Affairs Mr. Kung Ming-Hsin, French and Taiwanese public organizations, and participating companies.

“AUO is aggressively pushing next-generation display technologies based on microLED. On my wrist, I wear the world’s first microLED watch, which is the result of more than one-decade efforts of development. Our ambition is to bring this technology to every consumer, and we expect Aledia’s unique 8-inch silicon-based 3D nanowire technology can help us to scale it to the next level.” said Jennifer Lin, Vice President of Innovation Development, AUO.
