Micro LED is a new display technology developed to replace existing LEDs and LCDs. It uses tiny light-emitting diodes (LEDs) much smaller than those used in traditional LED displays. Micro LED displays have individual LED pixels that can be turned on and off independently, allowing for better contrast, colour accuracy, and energy efficiency.
The development of Micro LED displays is still in its early stages, and several technical challenges need to be overcome before they can be mass-produced. However, they are seen as promising new technology that could significantly impact the future of display technology.
Advantages of Micro LED
Micro LED displays offer several advantages over traditional LED and LCDs, including:
-
High brightness
Micro LED displays can produce extremely high brightness levels, making them well-suited for use in bright environments and outdoor settings.
-
Better colour accuracy
Micro LED displays can produce a wider range of colours than traditional LED displays and can be calibrated to deliver highly accurate colours.
-
High contrast
Turning individual pixels on and off independently allows for much higher contrast ratios than traditional LED displays.
-
Wide viewing angle
Micro LED displays have a wider viewing angle than traditional LED displays, allowing the image to be viewed from a greater range of angles.
-
Energy efficiency
Micro LED displays are more energy efficient than traditional LED and LCDs because they only use power for the turned-on pixels.
-
Flexibility
Micro LED displays are thinner and more flexible than traditional LED and LCDs, making them well-suited for various applications, including wearables, mobile devices, and curved displays.
-
Longevity
Micro LED displays have a longer lifespan than traditional LED and LCDs because they use inorganic materials that are less prone to degradation over time.
What are the major differences between Micro LEDs and LEDs?
Micro LED and LED are display technologies that use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to produce images on a screen. Some Key Differences are as follows:
-
Size Difference
The most significant difference between Micro LED and LED displays is the size of the individual LEDs. Micro LEDs are much smaller than traditional LEDs, with individual pixels being just a few micrometres in size.
-
Image Quality Difference
Micro LED displays offer better contrast, colour accuracy, and energy efficiency than traditional LED displays. This is because each pixel on a Micro LED display can be turned on and off independently, allowing for more precise control over brightness and colour.
-
Viewing angle
Micro LED displays have a wider viewing angle than LED displays, meaning that the image can be viewed from a greater range of angles.
-
Cost Difference
Micro LED displays are more expensive to produce than traditional LED displays due to their more complex manufacturing process.
