Pixel-Flo is commercialising semiconductor photonics and display-industry research from the University of Sheffield to develop manufacturing technology for MicroLED displays. Its core process, called Continuous-Flow Mass Transfer, is based on fluidic self-assembly and is intended to enable higher-throughput production while reducing processing costs and material use. The company aims to address key manufacturing barriers that have limited broader adoption of MicroLED technology, which offers advantages in brightness and energy efficiency. Pixel-Flo plans industrial scale-up, team expansion, new lab and office facilities, and international growth following its seed raise. The company was founded by Dr Rick Smith, Dr Suneal Ghataora and Simon Jones and secured £5.25M in seed funding to support these plans.
