dpiX and Mercury Systems Sign MOU to Formalize Partnership

 

 

Colorado Springs, Colo., and Andover, Mass., July 13, 2021 – dpiX and Mercury Systems today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that outlines the companies’ cooperation in the development, prototyping and manufacturing for the next generation of best-in-class display technology.

dpiX and Mercury will collaborate to enhance the value-chains of the reflective display segments of Mercury’s business, as well as the multi-segment semiconductor foundry business of dpiX in the United States.

“With U.S. government support, and in collaboration with Mercury, we are striving toward building and strengthening our domestic value-chains,” said Frank Caris, CEO and president of dpiX. “With the upcoming potential policy changes and increased investment into the American semiconductor industry, we anticipate our partnership to expand and develop technologies that will launch the United States into the lead in this industry.”

Investment in the American semiconductor industry is necessary to realize domestic growth and progress. Both dpiX and Mercury are closely monitoring the progression of upcoming investment efforts such as the CHIPS for America Act, President Biden’s American Jobs Plan focused on infrastructure, the Strategic Competition Act, the United States Innovation and Competition Act, and the National Fab Lab Network Act of 2021.

“Defense and aerospace customers require innovative display technologies that are designed, developed and manufactured in the USA to mitigate supply-chain risk,” said Bill Conley, Mercury’s Chief Technology Officer. “Mercury will leverage USA-made dpiX microLED technologies to develop scalable, power efficient, and cost-effective advanced displays that deliver superior clarity and ensure supply chain integrity to enable and sustain future vetronics and avionics applications.”
