        February 14, according to Korean media The Elec, technology giant Meta (META.US) will cooperate with Korean semiconductor major SK Hynix and panel maker LG Display to develop MicroOLED panels for Meta XR devices, and has entered the agreement signing stage.
 
 
        According to the report, SK Hynix is about to sign a cooperation agreement with Meta for the development and production of MicroOLED panels, while LG Display has completed the signing of the agreement. According to the agreement, Meta will be responsible for designing the chips required for MicroOLED panels, which will be manufactured by SK Hynix, and LG Display will perform the final step of depositing OLEDs on wafers and cutting them into MicroOLED panels. 
        MicroOLED technology is to attach OLEDs to silicon wafers instead of glass substrates. The pixel density is finer than that of OLED panels and features ultra-high resolution even with small panel size, and the panel thickness and volume are thinner and smaller, making it the best choice for Meta XR devices. 
        According to the report, SK Hynix plans to use the M10 production line in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea to produce MicroOLED wafers, the factory capacity of 100,000 12-inch wafers per month. SK Hynix expects to reach its goal of producing 30,000 microOLED wafers per month between 2025 and 2026, using a mature 28nm or 45nm process, said the source. 
        In October 2021, Facebook announced that it would change its name to "Meta Platforms", demonstrating its determination to shift its focus to the metaverse. Meta-universe refers to a virtual space parallel to the real world, such as the virtual game world "Oasis" (OASIS) depicted in the movie "Ready Player One".
