Plessey

Plessey Semiconductors (www.plesseysemiconductors.com) has manufactured biometric sensors and semiconductor components for the global electronics industry for many years, with extensive expertise in RF, analog, power, and sensing technology combined with unique IC processes, providing solutions for medical, instrumentation, aerospace, automotive and communications markets.

While their EPIC sensor business will be closing at the end of 2019, Plessey continues to actively bring new technologies to the marketplace. Plessey is actively seeking new ownership for the EPIC technology in order to try to provide a level of continuity. Also be aware that we will continue to support you in every way possible during the All Time Buy (ATB) period.

Their new focus is on ground-breaking LED technology, based on their unique on GaN-on-silicon substrate technology. MicroLEDs are a new, desirable display technology increasing in popularity in end consumer applications. Emerging as the only technology that can provide high luminance in a small format, a microLED is simply a traditional LED shrunk down to a microscopic size. MicroLEDs are self-emissive and do not require a backlight like LCD display technology on the market. A Plessey MicroLED display has many advantages such as high brightness, ultra-low power consumption, fast response time, very high contrast rate, wide color gamut, long lifetime, environmental stability, high resolution and the option of flexible backplanes and integration of sensors in the display. Plessey�s GaN-on-Silicon is recognized as the only technology platform capable of addressing all the challenges involved with manufacturing microLED displays in high volumes cost-effectively.
