Visible Light Communication (VLC) Industry Overview
The Visible Light Communication Market is a moderately competitive market with prominent players like Koninklijke Philips, LVX System, Panasonic Corporation, Oledcomm, etc. It is an emerging market with newer pipeline technologies, creating potential visible light communication technology.
In July 2022, The Scottish National Investment Bank awarded EUR 10 million to aid Edinburgh-based pureLiFi, which spent years designing a new Visible Light Communication based networking method called LiFi, to support a global rollout of their technology. PureLiFi announced that it would utilize the extra funding to develop new LiFi technologies further while opening up additional markets in more consumer-friendly areas, like mobile phones, tablets, wearables, and other connected devices.
In January 2022, Sheffield researchers developed a new way of creating micro-displays to bring the next generation of VR headsets, smartphones, and smartwatches with higher resolution, speed, and efficiency. It used microlaser diodes - micro LEDs, to develop ultimate micro-display and visible light communication devices. As per Sheffield researchers, VLC technology had the potential to offer much greater bandwidth & efficiency than WiFi or 5G and could be utilized where radio frequency emissions were controlled or did not work, like in aircraft, hospitals, underwater and hazardous environments.
