JBD Leaps Into 12-Inch-Wafer MicroLED Manufacturing
JBD said pilot-line reconstitution yield exceeded 98% as it shifts to a 12-inch platform to improve utilization and lower MicroLED production costs.
- On Friday, SHANGHAI-based JBD announced a major upgrade to its MicroLED mass-production architecture, shifting from 4-inch-based manufacturing to a 12-inch reconstructed wafer platform.
- Many MicroLED companies propose 8-inch wafer flows, yet geometric analysis shows 56% of backplane area remains unutilized; common 12-inch practices face a 77% theoretical utilization ceiling.
- JBD integrated a bonding scheme, skipping the 8-inch approach entirely and identifying defective chips early; reconstituted wafers achieved over 98% yield in pilot production.
- "The 12-inch wafer reconstitution solution overcomes a key bottleneck," said JBD CEO Qiming Li, noting the platform achieves an optimal balance between efficiency and cost.
- Beyond MicroLED mass production, the 12-inch platform offers a practical pathway for scaled supply readiness as pixel pitches shrink, opening new opportunities in computing with light.
