Pixel 2K

Miniature 2K pixel active microLED driver designed for optogenetic applications

The Pixel 2K is a low-power active LED driver with 1-bit brightness control capable of delivering optogenetic stimulation to orders of magnitude more neurons than electrode-based stimulation methods. Its ultra-small footprint, rapid refresh rate, and low power consumption enable a wide range of advanced in-vivo and in-vitro applications.

Designed for microLED arrays with integrated thin-film transistor networks, the Pixel2k is an active display driver designed for true single-pixel addressing. Containing circuitry to drive 2048 electrodes in merely 1.77 mm2, the Pixel 2K packs full functionality into the size of a pinhead.
