MicroLEDs : New Display Technology
Apple is reportedly working on a new display technology called microLEDs, which is considered the next big thing in the display industry.
- MicroLEDs are self-illuminating diodes that have brighter and better colour reproduction than Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display technology.
- MicroLED technology is based on the use of sapphires, which are known for their ability to shine on their own indefinitely.
- The technology involves the use of tiny light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that are packed tightly together to create a bright and high-quality display.
- Unlike OLED displays, microLED displays use inorganic material such as gallium nitride.
- A microLED is as small as cutting a centimetre of hair into 200 smaller pieces. Each of these microLEDs are semiconductors that receive electric signals.
- Once these microLEDs are gathered, they form a module. Several modules are then combined to form screens.
- Benefits:
- Brighter screens with better colour reproduction and viewing angles.
- Limitless scalability, as microLED displays are resolution-free, bezel-free, ratio-free, and even size-free.
- The ability to freely resize the screen in any form for practical usage.
