LEDs offer extraordinary performance characteristics including luminance, lifetime, color quality, and efficiency unavailable in other light sources. When combined with advanced processing, these devices unlock a number of application areas including development of new displays, systems for mapping blood flow, visible light communication, and light sources for high resolution microscopy.

There are, however, a number of challenges associated with the use of microLEDs, including high current density, non-linear efficiency vs. current drive, and a significant heat output. This presentation will highlight a few display and non-display applications for microLEDs that have been under development in our group, as well as the technology approaches for overcoming these challenges including new approaches to drive and control, heatsinking, packaging, and integration. The new application space and increasing process challenges presented by this technology will, in particular, be discussed.

John of Columbia University

Biography:

Ioannis (John) Kymissis is the Kenneth Brayer Professor of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University and Vice Dean for Infrastructure and Innovation of the Fu Foundation School of Engineering. He graduated with his SB, M.Eng., and Ph.D. degrees from MIT. His M.Eng. thesis was performed as a co-op at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Lab on organic thin-film transistors, and his Ph.D. was obtained in the Microsystems Technology Lab at MIT, working on field-emission displays. After graduation, he spent three years as a postdoc in MIT's Laboratory for Organic Optics and Electronics, working on a variety of organic electronic devices, and also as a senior engineer for QD Vision (later acquired by Samsung Electronics) working on the integration of quantum dots in displays. He joined the faculty at Columbia University in electrical engineering as an assistant professor in 2006, and served as chair of the department from 2020-2024. He is a fellow of the IEEE, Optica, the Society for Information Display (SID), SPIE, and the National Academy of Inventors and is currently the president of SID.
