Business Wire
Kulicke & Soffa Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:KLIC) (“Kulicke
& Soffa” or “K&S”) and Rohinni LLC (Rohinni), announced
today the launch of PIXALUX™, K&S’s micro and mini LED advanced
placement solution that was developed with Rohinni.
Next-generation LED technologies have the potential to further
enhance performance, improve efficiency and reduce the size of
existing lighting technologies. Significant high-volume end-markets
including automotive, display, consumer electronics and general
lighting are anticipated to drive adoption and benefit from this
emerging technology. While micro and mini LED benefits are
compelling, high-volume placement challenges needed to be addressed
prior to widespread market adoption of these emerging lighting
solutions.
In May 2018, Kulicke & Soffa announced a joint development
partnership with Rohinni to directly address this challenge. Today,
the combined efforts of this partnership provide a disruptive
solution - PIXALUX™. With a breakthrough combination of
high-throughput and high-accuracy placement supporting extremely
small-die applications, PIXALUXTM brings a new level of
competitiveness to the high-speed die placement market.
- High productivity and yield with
its ultrafast placement head design
- Placement accuracy and speed on
multiple types of substrates
- Supports placement of LED and IC
dies
- Wafer magazine with 10 wafer
carriers
- Ease of use with one-step
automatic wafer loading
Chan Pin Chong, Kulicke & Soffa’s Senior Vice President of
Wedge Bond & EA/APMR Business Unit, said, “We are excited to
announce PIXALUX™, an innovative cost-effective high speed mini LED
placement solution. An example of one of the applications we
anticipate PIXALUX™ initially enabling is the development of 2D LCD
display backlighting which means thinner and lighter display
products that will provide better performance, dynamic range (HDR)
and efficiency, improving the overall experience of LCD displays
for the consumer.”
“Our partnership with K&S is another big step forward for
the Rohinni team and our technology,” said Matt Gerber, Rohinni
CEO. “The scale, capabilities and reach of K&S coupled with
Rohinni’s advanced mini-LED placement technology means customers
around the world now have a viable path to develop and manufacture
next generation mini-LED based products.”
Customer evaluations of the PIXALUX™ bonder will commence in
October 2018.
