Aledia unveiled its microLED factory and a $200 million production line to make augmented reality displays.The Grenoble, France-based company wants to change the future of hardware for augmented reality and to power the next generation of displays for vision applications. It made the announcement at CES 2025, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas this week. Tech giants have recently doubled down on microLED for smart glasses, releasing prototypes and targeting commercial launches as early as 2027. While AI-powered use cases for AR have emerged over the last year, critical hardware challenges power consumption, bulkiness and manufacturing costs remain significant barriers to mass adoption.AR demands displays that combine extreme brightness, compact size and low power consumption for long battery life. Existing technologies like OLED (organic LED) and LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon) fall short in these critical areas, yet to reach the full potential of truly immersive AR experiences, Aledia said.AR devices need bright displays for all lighting conditions, both indoor and outdoor. The devices must also be compact, fitting into the small form factors required for AR glasses and other devices. They also need long battery life and they have to be affordable to make.Both OLED and LCOS technologies emit light in all directions, while only light emitted in a narrow cone can be used by the AR glasses.After 12 years of relentless R&D, a portfolio of nearly 300 patents and $600 million in investment, Aledia said it has shattered these barriers. With its groundbreaking microLED-based microdisplay the most efficient, monolithically grown with Red, Green and Blue microLEDs on the same substrate that are natively directive the company said it can solve the toughest hardware challenges, paving the way for the most immersive, AI-powered AR vision experiences ever conceived.Immersive technologies such as AR havent reached their full potential as the industry has yet to design screens that are both slick and highly functional, said Pierre Laboisse, CEO of Aledia, in a statement. At Aledia, weve created a nanowire technology that makes microLED displays thinner, more power efficient and easier to produce for mass adoption. By next CES, OLED and LCOS will already be phased out in favor of our superior microLED technology.Aledias microLED platform for ARA silicon wafer with Aledias microLED chips on it.Aledias microLED technology based on 3D gallium nitride (GaN) on silicon nanowires opens the way to the next generation of smart displays.The company said itss 3D GaN nanowire technology delivers enhanced brightness and energy efficiency compared to 2D LED, along with superior pixel density and resolution. The 3D structure allows precise and directive light emission, making Aledias displays highly efficient and suited for advanced applications like AR. During R&D testing, Aledias nanowires improved directivity and light efficiency in real-world settings, which are crucial for immersive AR experiences.Aledia said it has superior battery life in a compact package. Aledias hybrid bonding technology combines microLED and driver electronics into the smallest and smartest chip on the market, resulting in thinner displays and superior power efficiency for longer battery life.Cost-effective manufacturing that scalesAledia has invested $200 million in a new production line.Aledias advantage lies in its over $200 million in-house pilot production line at the center of Europes Display Valley, enabling faster iteration without initial volume constraint. By utilizing semiconductor-grade silicon in 8-inch and 12-inch formats, Aledia lowers production costs for large-scale production of microLEDs, accelerating widespread adoption in a wide range of displays. Aledia is ready and able to support customer demand ramp up to nearly 5,000 wafer starts per week.Our Champagnier factory is a key milestone for European innovation, and we are proud to represent it at the Auvergne Rhne-Alpes Pavilion at CES, said Laboisse. We are redefining global standards of display technology with our efficient and high-performing chips, positioning Grenoble as the global center of microLED production.To experience Aledias technology at CES 2025, visit Booth 60711-04 at Eureka Park, in Hall G at the Venetian.Aledia was founded in 2011, and it has more than 300 patents and 60 of its employees have doctorates.

Chris Kerr, News EditorJanuary 7, 20251 Min ReadImage via TencentTencent wants to engage with the U.S. Department of Defense to correct what it claims is a "mistake" that has led to it being included on a newly-published list of Chinese Military Companies (the CMC List) operating in the United States.The Chinese tech and video game conglomerate, which owns major studios such as League of Legends maker Riot Games and Clash of Clans developer Supercell, was included on the refreshed CMC List published earlier today.The document was shared on the Federal Register and serves as a "notice of Chinese military companies operating in the United States."Responding to its inclusion in a notice to investors, Tencent acknowledged the situation but insisted it is "neither a Chinese military company nor a military-civil fusion contributor to the Chinese defense industrial base."It suggested its inclusion on the CMC List is a "mistake" but noted its business operations in the United States won't be impacted by the move."Unlike other lists maintained by the U.S. Government for sanctions or export control measures, inclusion in the CMC List relates only to U.S. defense procurement, which does not affect the business of the Group," it added."The CMC List is also distinct from the Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex List (NS-CMIC List) maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control, and inclusion in the CMC List will not prohibit any persons (other than the Department of Defense) from business dealings with the company, including translating in the securities of the company."Tencent will contact the Department of Defense to initiate a "reconsideration process" to correct what it again claims is an error but is prepared to take legal action. "If necessary, [we] will undertake legal proceedings to remove the company from the CMC List," it added.Read more about:TencentAbout the AuthorChris KerrNews Editor, GameDeveloper.comGame Developer news editor Chris Kerr is an award-winning journalist and reporter with over a decade of experience in the game industry.

I have to commend Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his new policy chief Joel Kaplan on their timing. Its not hugely surprising that, as the pair announced early today, Meta is giving up on professional third-party fact-checking. The operator of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads has been backing off moderation recently, and fact-checking has always been contentious. But its probably smart to do it two weeks before President-elect Donald Trump takes office and nominates a Federal Communications Commission head whos threatened the company over it.Trumps FCC chairman pick (and current FCC commissioner), Brendan Carr, is a self-identified free speech defender with a creative interpretation of the First Amendment. In mid-November, as part of a flurry of lightly menacing missives to various entities, Carr sent a letter to Meta, Apple, Google, and Microsoft attacking the companies fact-checking programs.The letter was primarily focused on NewsGuard, a conservative bte noire that Meta doesnt actually work with. But it also demanded information about the use of any media monitor or fact checking service, and it left no doubt about Carrs position on them. You participated in a censorship cartel that included not only technology and social media companies but advertising, marketing, and so-called fact checking organizations, Carr wrote. The incoming Trump administration and Congress, he continued, will take broad ranging actions ... and those actions can include both a review of your companies activities as well as efforts by third-party organizations and groups that have acted to curtail those [speech] rights.In case the implications werent clear enough, Carr spelled out exactly how his agency could punish them:For now, I am writing to obtain information from you that can inform the FCCs work to promote free speech and a diversity of viewpoints. As you know, Big Techs prized liability shield, Section 230, is codified in the Communications Act, which the FCC administers. As relevant here, Section 230 only confers benefits on Big Tech companies when they operate, in the words of the statute, in good faith.Prized liability shield youve got there! Itd be a real shame if someone... administered it.If youre wondering, Since when is the FCC in charge of Section 230? Carr links to a memo from Trumps first term about a proposal that then-chairman Ajit Pai never got around to passing. It was unclear whether the FCC could do it back then, and that was before the Supreme Court handcuffed regulatory agencies by killing the doctrine of Chevron deference. Even Federalist Society contributors think Carrs going off the rails here. (In any case, the in good faith provision only applies to one currently lesser-used section of Section 230 and its unclear why fact-checking services would violate it.) That said, its likely he and Trump will try again anyway and they can still create a lot of headaches for a company that flouts his demands.If youre also wondering what the big deal is, this is almost textbook jawboning: a form of soft government censorship that Carr and other Republicans have railed against their political opponents for (allegedly, and according to the Supreme Court, probably not actually) performing. Private companies have the right to moderate or not moderate platforms, and they have the right to label or not label posts with third-party fact-checks. Government officials shouldnt threaten to strip legal protections from them for doing it.On top of all that, this kind of high-profile jawboning undercuts the notion that Meta made a principled decision. Its entirely possible the company would have discontinued fact-checking anyway; its a lightning rod for controversy that social networks are increasingly trying to avoid, and there are pragmatic questions about how well it works. Meta has a long and lofty justification for its move that even complains about government pressure, implicitly under the Biden administration, to take down content in the past. But Carrs letter makes that complaint look laughable and it makes Meta look like cowards.Correction: The new policies were announced today, not yesterday. We regret the error.

When it comes to reproductive health tech, wearable makers tend to focus on one of two things: period tracking and fertility windows. But at CES 2025, health startup identifyHer wants to shake up that narrative with Peri, a wearable designed to help people track and manage perimenopause symptoms.Perimenopause refers to the transitional period before menopause when the ovaries gradually stop working. Hormones like estrogen and progesterone begin to decrease, which, in turn, can lead to mood changes, irregular periods, hot flashes, and night sweats. Perimenopause symptoms can vary widely from person to person and last four to eight years on average though it can be as short as a few months or as long as a decade. Peris press release notes that the device will provide objective data on perimenopausal symptoms, lifestyle, and sleep, as well as actionable insights and encouragement to better understand the changes their bodies are undergoing. In official pictures, the device itself appears to be pill-shaped and adheres to a persons torso as opposed to their wrist or finger, like most other health trackers.We will keep the specific sensors confidential until we open pre-orders, says Peri cofounder Heidi Davis, though Davis acknowledges that none of the sensors in the device are new or proprietary. Our breakthrough lies in the digital fingerprints wehave identified through three years of R&D, collecting sensor data from women experiencing perimenopause.Davis says those fingerprints were then used to develop algorithms that provide continuous data on hot flashes, night sweats, and anxiety in perimenopausal women. One surprising finding, Davis says, is that body temperature isnt a reliable indicator of hot flashes. Extra effort was also put in to ensure the algorithms werent swayed by things like exercise or warm weather, which could affect heart rate, sweating, or increase body temperature. Peri cofounder Heidi Davis says the torso is a more accurate place to detect hot flashes and night sweats. Image: Peri, identifyHerDavis says identifyHer also intentionally decided to forgo a limb-based tracker. During the early stages of development, we tested our sensors on the limbs but found that we could not identify the digital fingerprints for some of the typical symptoms of perimenopause, Davis explains, noting that the torso delivers the most accurate readings and is where hot flashes and night sweats are strongest. As promising as this all sounds, none of Peris tech is proven just yet. Well have to see how Peri fares when it launches, which is expected to be in mid-2025. That said, its mission to bring further clarity to womens reproductive health a historically understudied area is one wearable makers and researchers alike have widely pursued in recent years. Oura, for instance, has conducted its own study on pregnancy prediction, while Apple also launched its own long-term, large-scale Womens Health Study using the Apple Watch. Its just finally nice to see some traction on a less-studied stage of reproductive health.

Severance season 2 debuts on Apple TV+ on Friday, January 17, with new episodes airing through March 21.The dystopian mystery boxes of Silo and Severance have burnished AppleTV+s reputation for scintillating science fiction, but after incredible debuts, their follow-ups are on opposite trajectories. While Silo thrives by widening its world and deepening its characters in season 2, Severance falters by holding too tightly to its secrets, leaning too heavily on vibes, and getting its 10-episode second season off to an agonizingly slow start. Creator and executive producer Dan Erickson wastes two episodes resetting the status quo at the fictional Lumon Industries, the enigmatic corporation where some employees elect to surgically split their consciences into a work self and a home self. (Innies and Outies in the parlance of the show.) After severed employees Mark (Adam Scott) and Helly (Britt Lower) managed to use their brief time occupying the bodies of their Outies to issue warnings about what was really going on at Lumon, a big deal is made about giving Mark a new team at the job where he sorts numbers on a computer into a series of boxes. (It seems bizarre and pointless but according to Lumon brass, its building to one of the greatest moments in the history of the planet.) But those coworkers played by the likes of Bob Balaban and Alia Shawkat are there so briefly it feels like they were cast merely for a trailer gag.The time spent on manager Harmony Cobel (Patricia Arquette) feels even more pointless, primarily showing her driving around and making cases for how important she is. The eerie visuals of the too-white, largely empty office and the bleak, snowy barrenness of the outside world which the Innies speculate might be somewhere in Wyoming are part of the charm, but this season is leaning too hard on the direction of Ben Stiller and Sam Donovan. There are just too many close-ups of people looking contemplative and not enough of the dark humor that made season 1 such an effective satire of office culture and workplace sitcoms.There are still so many mysteries about Lumons goals and the lives of the characters outside of the office that it feels like the writers are being needlessly stingy with their reveals. When they do come, its easy to feel a refreshed love for the show. It embraces its surrealist streak when Mark and Helly crawl through a goat tunnel (a scene recalling one of Severances major tonal and visual touchstones, Being John Malkovich) and taps into its emotional core with Irving (John Turturro) reminiscing with another old timer about his retired love interest, Burt (Christopher Walken).Severance Season 2 Episodes 1-6 GalleryTurturro is a highlight of everything hes in and he continues to shine in season 2, where he grapples with the same feelings of loss as Mark, who became severed after the (supposed) death of his wife. Irving considers quitting, effectively killing his Innie self to avoid the pain of losing Burt, but his grief is quickly put aside in favor of relentlessly diving into new mysteries inside Lumon while sweetly if awkwardly reconnecting with Burt and his husband, Fields (John Noble), on the outside. While one of the plots Irving is focused on is fairly obvious, it actually makes his doggedness even more impressive given how much his coworkers are hesitant to question things that dont align with what they want the truth to be.Dylan (Zach Cherry) was largely relegated to foul-mouthed comic relief in season 1, but hes a significantly more realized character this season. The most perk-obsessed member of the Macrodata Refinement department receives a new benefit that puts him at odds with Mark, Helly, and Irving and entangles his two selves in a conflict similar to the short-lived Paul Rudd sci-fi comedy Living with Yourself. Marks reasons for taking a job that requires brain surgery are tragic, but the truth about Dylan and why his success at Lumon means so much to him are even bleaker products of an economy that runs on mundane cruelty and crushed dreams.When the big reveals come, its easy to feel a refreshed love for Severance.Attempts to build out the character of Lumon supervisor Seth Milchick (Tramell Tillman) fare less well. Tillman continues to flawlessly marry geniality and menace while Milchick navigates the difficult task of keeping the insurgent severed employees on track. Like Cobels plot, Milchicks brutal performance review and an unsettling reward in the form of a book depicting Lumon founder Kier Eagan (Marc Geller) as a Black man (despite every other corporate product stamped with Kiers white, bearded likeness) are clearly meant to be a commentary on how the cult-like company treats employees at every level. But the supervisors are so thinly drawn and unlikable that its hard to feel any sympathy for their plight.Its not all bad news: I havent seen the last four episodes of the season, but Severance is clearly leading to some big reveals about the nature of its titularprocess and the work Lumon is conducting, and the flashing visuals where the Innie and Outie worlds fuse are deeply disturbing, enhanced by some dramatic sound design that flows well into Theodore Shapiros eerie instrumental score. Erickson is also digging into deep questions about the nature of self and how love can exist outside of memory. Helly reckons with what a monster her Outie is, while Innie Mark is torn between his feelings for Helly and his obligation to find his Outies missing wife, Gemma shown to be fellow Lumon staffer Ms. Casey (Dichen Lachman) at the end of last season. This is familiar territory for Lachman, who explored these themes 15 years ago on Dollhouse. While Severance has taken a very different approach to the idea of memory wiping, it sometimes seems like its heading to the same endpoint.What we said about the Severance series premiere"Apple TV+s Severance puts a late-stage capitalism spin on the office sitcom. The chilling two-episode premiere uses a clever premise and excellent cast to set up an intriguing mystery that leaves plenty of room for the characters to evolve." Samantha NelsonScore: 9Read the complete Severance premiere review.Its possible season 2 will pick up the pace and deliver more of the big twists and emotional depth that made its predecessor one of the best shows of 2022. But its hard not to feel frustrated while Silo excels at the same assignment, following every bombshell with more questions and skillfully adding new layers to its heroes and villains while leaving so much about them implied. Severance feels like it needs a performance improvement plan in order to keep its viewers happy. Whatever mysteries it has in store wont matter if weve tuned out before theyre solved.

Spider-Man and Deadpool have quite a colorful history together. Their alliance was the foundation of the ongoing Spider-Man/Deadpool series a few years ago, and Spidey tends to be one of the few heroes Wade Wilson looks up to (even if the feeling is anything but mutual). But that's Peter Parker. What happens when Deadpool crosses paths with Miles Morales instead? That's the premise behind Pools of Blood, a crossover linking writer Cody Ziglar's monthly Deadpool and Miles Morales: Spider-Man comics.Check out the slideshow gallery below for an exclusive look at interior art from the first two chapters of Pools of Blood, then read on to learn more about the crossover from Ziglar himself:Deadpool & Miles Morales: Spider-Man - Pools of Blood Crossover ImagesUnsurprisingly, this crossover has been in the works since it first became clear Ziglar would be writing both books in 2024. As he explains, the similarities between Miles and Wade's daughter Ellie (who replaced her father upon his death and now shares the Deadpool mantle with him), were too intriguing not to explore in more depth."I knew from the beginning that I wanted to expand Ellies role in Wades life and eventually have her meet Miles," Ziglar tells IGN. "They seemed like a fun 'opposite sides of the coin' dynamic with them both being Afro-Latino mantle holders. Its why we had Agent Gao appear in a cameo in the first issue. I also thought itd be fun to have Wade interact with Miles since theyve only had a brief run-in before with Pete."Ziglar promises a very different and more antagonistic dynamic between Wade and this younger Spider-Man. That's in part because Deadpool has reluctantly accepted a contract to kill Miles, a contract he hopes will help provide some much-needed capital in his ongoing feud with the villain Death Grip."I think entering into this, Wade is very much a fan of Petes Spider-Man - he respects him and dare I say looks up to him?" Ziglar says. "Its partly why he has such reservations about taking the job to kill Miles Spider-Man. Hes really only in this position because he felt he had no other option if he wanted to get the funds and materials to take out Death Grip. However, its really Ellie who doesnt sit right with this mission and it becomes the driving emotional force for this crossover."This sudden conflict with the two Deadpools comes at a bad time for Miles, who is still reeling from the events of 2024's Blood Hunt crossover and the trauma of becoming a vampire. Expect the fallout of that crossover and other recent ordeals in Miles' life to directly fuel the conflict in Pools of Blood."Miles has really been through the wringer for the past few arcs and this is the first time in a while hes felt a sense of normalcy and peace. Life is finally starting to get back to normal while also juggling bringing a new sibling (Shift) into the Morales family and also taking him under his wings as a fellow Spider-Man," Ziglar says. "The conflict in 'Pools of Blood' brings up some things for Miles like maybe every decisions hes made post-Vampire wasnt the most responsible move to make. And maybe just because hes trying to do good doesnt mean hes necessary thought out how his actions would impact those around him."PlayThe same goes for both Deadpools, as both father and daughter are still coming to terms with their respective deaths and the ongoing threat posed by Death Grip. For Wade, this job represents a distasteful but necessary opportunity to level the playing field."Wade and Ellies death is the main driving motivation behind Wade for this arc," Ziglar says. "Wades emotional journey for this run as been: 1) Thinking hes doing right by Ellie by pushing her away and keeping her from his life, 2) Realizing that that wasnt the best move and accepting Ellie into his life while wrestling with the fear that something could happen to her, and 3) having his biggest fear realized when he was killed by Death Grip. So for Wade this is an 'any means necessary' type of job where he knows hes doing a bad thing but, in his mind, its worth it if he uses the money from the job to buy a weapon strong enough to take out the biggest threat in his life (Death Grip)."Ziglar continues, "In terms of Ellie, she has some serious reservations about being hired to kill Spider-Man but she promised her dad that shes ready to fully be a part of his life, warts and all. And part of being a professional super-mercenary is taking jobs where good people get hurt. Still, even with that in mind, Ellie much like Wade just wants to find a way to take out Death Grip but shes a little more reasonable as far as talking things out goes."Finally, with so much of the Marvel Universe being swept up in the upcoming One World Under Doom crossover, we were curious how Pools of Blood might inform the events of that crossover. Will we see the impact of Doom's rise to power felt in Deadpool and Miles Morales: Spider-Man? Ziglar is keeping coy on that subject, teasing only, "I dont want to spoil anything, so Ill say itll be felt."Pools of Blood kicks off in Deadpool #11, which hits stores on February 12, and continues in Miles Morales: Spider-Man #30, which hits on February 19.For more on what's coming in the Marvel Universe, check out what to expect from Marvel in 2025 and see IGN's most anticipated comics of 2025.
