‘WICOP Pixel’ is based on WICOP technology, which does not require wire bonding, packaging or lens. It is the world's first RGB one-chip technology that stacks three RGB microLEDs vertically. This stacking structure enables the manufacture of ultra-small chips and reduces the chip manufacturing and mounting processes to one-third, providing irreplaceable competitiveness in the KRW100 trillion display market. The stack-structure WICOP Pixel also reduces the luminous area to one-third, making it possible to boost transparency as high as more than 90%. This makes WICOP Pixel an essential technology for the future metaverse world including AR and VR.
‘WICOP’ technology allows mounting to be performed without a gold wire, which is an essential component in all existing LED manufacturing processes, and Seoul Viosys is the first in the world to develop and mass-produce a product with the technology. It is one of the core second-generation technologies in the LED industry, and neither miniLEDs nor microLEDs can be made without using WICOP technology.
‘WICOP Pixel’ can be called a semiconductor revolution. Lee Chung-hoon, founder of Seoul Semiconductor and Seoul Viosys, invited journalists from across the world to launch a new product at the Grand Ballroom of the InterContinental Hotel in Shanghai, China in September 2015.
