Scale Nanotech uses Graphene at Display Week 2024 to revolutionize the microDisplay

Santiago J. Cartamil-Bueno, CEO of Scale Nanotech, introduces their company, specializing in innovative display technology for the AR/VR industry, particularly highlighting their Graphene-based Large Area Modulators for holographic displays. Their technology utilizes Graphene to create small pixels capable of changing colors, resulting in high-resolution displays with reduced power consumption and high contrast. The technology also boasts video speed capability and color functionality, making it ideal for AR/VR applications. The demonstration of their Graphene display showcases 20 million pixels capable of changing colors with minimal power consumption, illustrating its potential for future consumer electronics like next-generation smart glasses.

Graphene's advantage in display technology lies in its unique application as active pixels rather than just electrodes, setting Scale Nanotech apart from others in the field. They demonstrate how the membrane pixel moves mechanically to change colors, showcasing the full spectrum capability of their technology. The CEO emphasizes their progress towards mass production, with plans to showcase a minimum viable product (MVP) at CES Las Vegas within a year. The MVP will feature a 2K by 2K resolution display, paving the way for future applications such as AR glasses, capable of withstanding high optical powers for outdoor use.

Scale Nanotech's Graphene modulator display technology is unique, allowing for modulation in a display through mechanical vibration, a rarity in the industry. The company hails from Europe, specifically Spain and Estonia, and prides itself on its ability to shape the membrane precisely for optimal performance. Mass production is on the horizon, expected to commence within several months, with a focus solely on Graphene without the use of rare earth materials or contaminants. Despite Graphene being a thin material, it covers the entire display efficiently.

The company's technology initially targets micro-displays but remains adaptable for larger displays like smartphones, e-books, and even televisions. Comparisons with micro OLED highlight Scale Nanotech's reflective display technology, which utilizes external light sources rather than generating light, resulting in better energy efficiency, especially in bright environments. The CEO entertains the idea of using sunlight to illuminate displays, suggesting the redirection of sunlight onto the display surface, potentially revolutionizing energy usage in consumer electronics.

Regarding micro LED technology, Scale Nanotech acknowledges its complexity and expense, emphasizing the potential energy wastage in bright environments. They advocate for utilizing natural light sources more efficiently, hinting at the possibility of integrating their technology into AR glasses for outdoor use. The discussion concludes with the recognition of sunlight as an abundant energy source and a call to reconsider energy consumption in display technologies, highlighting Scot Tech's commitment to efficiency and innovation in the industry.
