MicroLED technology is expected to replace both OLED and QLED in the high-end display market, offering higher modularity, lower latency, and improved OLED life.
MicroLED replaces QLED and OLED technology
Unlike conventional LED or LCD displays, MicroLED displays can emit light per pixel, providing higher brightness and contrast ratios than OLED displays while supporting a wide range of colors not previously available. The problem with this technology is the manufacturing costs, which will decrease over time as manufacturers invest more money and resources in it.
Another advantage of MicroLED is its “modularity”, which allows you to connect several smaller displays to build incredibly large monitors. At CES 2018, Samsung presented “The Wall”, a crazy 146-inch MicroLED display, a product that has been refined and is expected to be available next year.
LG, one of the world’s leading display manufacturers, is expected to show a MicroLED television with a screen size of around 175 inches at IFA, beating Samsung’s 146-inch record. The IFA takes place from 31 August to 5 September in Berlin, so we are not far from this rumor.
In response to The Investor, an LG spokesman stated that “it is true that the company has carried out R&D projects for MicroLED technology” without confirming or denying the existence of its rumored 175-inch monstrous screen.
