IntraPhoton CEO Toshihiko Honzo Presents at IMID 2026

On August 20, 2026, Toshihiko Honzo, co-founder and CEO of IntraPhoton, delivered a keynote presentation at the International Meeting on Information Display (IMID 2026) held in Busan, South Korea. This annual conference, revered in the display industry, is jointly hosted by the Korean Information Display Society (KIDS) and the Society for Information Display (SID), attracting researchers and industry professionals from around the globe to discuss cutting-edge developments in display technology.

IntraPhoton, headquartered in Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture, is dedicated to the research and development of next-generation microLEDs aimed at enhancing augmented reality (AR) experiences. During his presentation, Honzo provided insights into IntraPhoton's advancements in Eu:GaN LED technology and its application in full-color microLED displays. The company is focused on producing high-resolution, high-brightness microdisplays that will push the boundaries of AR technology.

Key Highlights of the Presentation

During the keynote, Honzo shared groundbreaking research findings, particularly the miniaturization techniques for Eu red LEDs, targeting the achievement of one-micron full-color pixels. Remarkably, he reported that even when miniaturizing red LEDs down to two micrometers, there was no significant degradation in luminous efficiency. This marks a substantial leap towards achieving even higher precision in microLEDs, crucial for the future of high-definition displays.

Honzo also discussed the progress in developing prototype full-color microLED displays using a proprietary technology that allows the RGB (red, green, blue) LEDs to be monolithically formed on a single wafer. This unique stacking technique is essential for producing vibrant and sharp visuals in microdisplay applications.
