Sheffield spinout just raised £5.2M to solve manufacturing problem that has kept MicroLED out of your pocket for a decade — TFN

Pixel-Flo has raised £5.25 million in seed funding to solve microLED’s biggest manufacturing challenge: mass transfer.

The University of Sheffield spinout has developed a Continuous-Flow Mass Transfer process that allows for fast, nonstop assembly where traditional mechanical methods fall short.

Northern Gritstone led the funding round, with SCVC, the Parkwalk Northern Universities Venture Fund, and Germany’s HTGF also investing.

MicroLED technology is often seen as the future of displays, promising brighter and more efficient screens than what we have now. But so far, it has mostly been used in labs and high-end TVs. Pixel-Flo hopes to change that with its new £5.25 million funding.
