JANUARY - MARCH - 20216 Rachel SmithManaging EditorMicroLED Running to Dominate the Display Tech Market For decades, there was precisely one way to look at an electronically displayed text or moving images: the cathode ray tube (CRT). This novel technology served as the only choice of display tech for everything from radar systems to desktops and cabinet televisions. As computing moved out of the office, into the home and onto the streets, so did display technology. Today, the world is at the crossroads of developing some of the far-out displays that the future may hold.In the recent past, the display technology has seen a drastic change of pace with the setting in of MicroLED. In the last two years, significant players, such as Samsung, have raised eyebrows in the market with massive 219 inches television that run on MicroLED. With several such progressions of LED coming along, the direction of the display technology space is hard to fathom. The introduction of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) a decade ago, had given promises of dominating the TV and smartphone picture quality market. However, the majority of regular customer-used devices stick to the conventional LCD. With innovations such as OLED having taken years to reach the hands of customers, the trajectory has been set for the more recent MicroLED, predominantly owing to the exorbitant costs. The MicroLED technology has demonstrated the capability to light up smaller screens such a smartphone and watches. But, is the whole hype with MicroLED. The answer is two words--perfect black. The MicroLED display can deliver higher brightness than any existing displays, while also providing perfect black levels without the danger of a burn-in. Besides, a wide-gamut of colors without the challenges of viewing angle and uniformity makes MircoLED more desirable. However, the process of making TV with MicroLED is a lot more than meets the eye. One of the most significant problems is that with the reduced size of the LEDs, the amount of light they are capable of producing reduces too, and driving them hard increases the power consumption and heat dissipation. If this challenge is solved, we can expect a whole new variety of uses ranging from TV, mobile phones, digital signs, and so on. And how the display technology solution providers harness the power of MicroLED is anybody's guess. In the era of technology advancement, Enterprise Technology Review highlights offerings of some of the hand-picked solutions providers that are at the vanguard of display technology.
