Micro-led lights up the future: Shanghai University and Shanghai Jinghe Optoelectronics signed a strategic cooperation agreement to build a joint laboratory for automotive digital lighting chips

       Micro-LED is favored by many industry experts for its high pixel density, high brightness, small size and low power consumption. It is considered the ultimate solution for smart projector headlights and is known as the crown jewel. The strategic alliance between Jinghe Optoelectronics and Shanghai University in the field of digital car lighting chips will open up the innovation chain from academic research to industrial application, relying on the profound technological accumulation of the School of Microelectronics of Shanghai University in the field of Micro-LED, especially Micro- Breakthrough progress in LED wafer-level bonding technology, Jinghe Optoelectronics will build a research and development, pilot and mass production platform for digital car light chips and devices, independently build CHIPLET advanced packaging pilot lines and mass production lines, and open up domestic digital cars The "last mile" of light chips from the laboratory to the market.

       The School of Microelectronics of Shanghai University is a key construction college supported by the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Government. It is the first second-level college in Shanghai to pilot a comprehensive budget reform. It is Shanghai University’s industrial layout to connect with Shanghai’s integrated circuit “one body and two wings”. The School of Microelectronics of Shanghai University has demonstrated strong R&D capabilities and profound academic accumulation in Micro-LED. The silicon-based microdisplay research team led by Professor Zhang Jianhua, executive dean of the school, has been engaged in the research and development of silicon-based Micro-LED microdisplay technology, and Research on thermal testing and reliability testing of automotive-grade power integrated chips has achieved a leading position in the fields of optoelectronic display and micro-nano manufacturing, and established an internationally advanced 8-inch semiconductor display pilot line; in addition, Dr. Yin Luqiao's research team has obtained Obtained a series of patents on the bonding method of flip-chip Micro-LED chips and substrates, and is advanced and forward-looking in the research and development of Micro-LED bonding technology.

       The two parties in this cooperation will jointly build a "joint laboratory", relying on Shanghai University's scientific research platform in the field of microelectronics, domestic and international influence, and Jinghe Optoelectronics' core industry talents and technical practice accumulation in the field of automotive lighting, focusing on digital lighting. Chip jointly promotes the construction of industry-university-research platform. The two parties will carry out project cooperation, joint declaration of scientific and technological achievements and bases, and cooperate in various ways such as joint development, joint scientific research, and achievement conversion. In addition, the two parties will jointly cultivate high-end talents, strengthen cooperation in the cultivation of talents at different levels such as undergraduates and graduate students, jointly build student practice bases, and set up postdoctoral workstations to cultivate high-end microelectronics talents with innovative abilities and cooperative spirit.

       This cooperation is not only a leap forward in the technological strength of Jinghe Optoelectronics, but also indicates that the company will evolve into a resource-based enterprise with advanced packaging capabilities and realize the overtaking of domestic digital car lighting chips. Jinghe Optoelectronics will independently produce high-performance Micro-LED digital car lighting source chips and devices, combined with the company's strong accumulation in digital car lighting system integration and mass production technology in the past, to provide the market with excellent optoelectronic technology solutions, allowing customers and Car owners experience the excellent driving and riding enjoyment brought by advanced technology.
