Sheffield
Job Title Office Manager About Us Pixel-Flo is a spin-out from the University of Sheffield developing Continuous-Flo™, a new manufacturing platform designed to solve one of the critical bottlenecks holding back the adoption of next-generation microLED displays. MicroLED displays offer major performance advantages over LCD and OLED technologies, but the display industry has been limited by the lack of a scalable and cost-effective manufacturing solution. Pixel-Flo’s proprietary continuous-flow mass-transfer process addresses this challenge, unlocking the potential of microLED display across wearable devices, automotive display, TV and more.
