Description (French)
VueReal a développé une technologie clé pour la micro-impression de microDEL et de microcapteurs dans des substrats pour créer différentes applications telles que les écrans microDEL. Grâce aux caractéristiques uniques des microDEL, il est possible d’obtenir des écrans à haute fiabilité, haute luminosité et haute résolution. Le projet comprend la recherche et le développement d’un fond de panier, d’un schéma de commande et de microDEL personnalisés pour les montres intelligentes et autres produits portables. Plus précisément, ce projet financé par le PARI visera à surmonter les problèmes techniques restants liés à la mise au point de petites microDEL, d’un fond de panier et de schémas de commande pour les écrans de montres intelligentes.
