What They Say

Google has bought Raxium, a five year start-up that has been developing monolithic microLEDs for headset use. The company said on its website that it is developing microLEDs with 3.5 micron pixel pitch. The Silicon Valley firm includes staff including Rick Schneider, previously the CTO at Gl? and Michael Klug that had been VP of Advanced Photonics at Magic Leap. Pitchbook lists the firm as having 29 staff at the end of 2021.

What We Think

There’s not much information on the firm’s website and that it was around while managing to stay ‘below the radar’ – the firm’s name didn’t turn up in my search index – which covers a lot! (BR)
