Fluidic mass transfer process for microLED displays
About Pixel-Flo
Pixel-Flo Ltd. is a UK-based company that spun out of the University of Sheffield in 2025 to commercialize a new microLED mass transfer process. The company was incorporated on April 15, 2025.
The company is addressing a critical barrier in the adoption of microLED displays: the cost-effective mass transfer of micro-sized LEDs onto display backplanes. Traditional mass transfer technologies, while having high instantaneous transfer rates, are hampered by the time required for changing and loading wafers, stamps, and carriers, which limits continuous throughput. The market for microLED mass transfer was valued at $110.7 million in 2025 and is projected to grow significantly, indicating a substantial opportunity for efficient manufacturing solutions.
Pixel-Flo's core technology is a continuous fluidic transfer process. This method uses a coating technique, akin to slot-die coating, that employs meniscus forces to guide microLEDs into their correct positions on a substrate. This approach is designed to deliver extremely high continuous throughput and is scalable for the largest panel sizes. A key advantage of the process is its compatibility with any wafer or backplane and its ability to handle red, green, and blue (RGB) microLEDs in a single process step.
