MicroLED Technology Holds Promise for Neuromorphic Computing

A research group at Technische Universität Braunschweig (TU Braunschweig), in collaboration with Ostfalia University and ams OSRAM, is exploring innovative applications of microLED technology to develop a new generation of energy-efficient neuromorphic computers. By miniaturizing and scaling microscopic LEDs, the team aims to create systems that mimic the functionality of biological neural networks, offering potential energy savings of up to 10,000 times compared to conventional silicon-based AI technologies. This cutting-edge approach leverages gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors, which are optically active and well-suited for high-density microLED integration. Their recent optical microLED demonstrator, which successfully passed a standard AI pattern recognition test, marks a significant step toward the realization of an “artificial brain” designed to reduce the immense energy demands expected from supercomputers in the coming decade.
