Leyard Tests MicroLED Optical Modules with CAS as a Low‑Power Alternative for AI Data Links

Leyard has supplied MicroLED optical module prototypes to the Chinese Academy of Sciences as part of a research collaboration exploring low‑power co‑packaged optics for AI data links. The technology promises steep energy savings relative to copper but remains at an early, uncertain validation stage with significant manufacturing and integration challenges.
