About

About Fraunhofer IPMS Fraunhofer IPMS is a leading international research and development service provider for electronic and photonic microsystems in the application fields of Intelligent Industrial Solutions, Bio and Health, Mobility as well as Security. In three state-of-the-art clean rooms and with a total of four development sites in Dresden, Cottbus and Erfurt, the institute develops innovative MEMS components and microelectronic devices on 200 mm and 300 mm wafers. Services range from consulting and process development to pilot production. Fraunhofer IPMS is specialized in the development of OLED microdisplays for AR and VR glasses, other wearables as well as for the use in sensor applications. The concept and the parameters of the display like resolution, pixel size and embedded functions can be varied in a wide range appropriate to the project specifications or customers needs. The spectrum ranges from ultra-low-power displays for small and lightweight data glasses over high resolution HD displays for VR headsets and viewfinders up to bidirectional displays with embedded image sensor functionality. Fraunhofer IPMS offers a selection of evaluation kits for a straightforward transfer of the microdisplays into customer-specific applications. During SID 2026, we will present latest microdisplay solutions from semi-transparent up to a OLED microdisplay realized in 28nm technology with smallest pixel sizes of 2.5 micrometers. The highlight will be a high-voltage CMOS-backplane for very bright OLED microdisplays.
