Micro-LED Displays Face Cost and Production Challenges; Micro RGB Technology Emerges

Micro-LED technology has received recent attention, with speculation about its integration into devices such as iPhones, iPads, and televisions for thinner and brighter designs. Despite this interest, devices utilizing micro-LED technology often come with high costs. Although more affordable micro-LED TVs have been announced, pricing continues to be a significant factor. Micro-LED displays differentiate from other LED-type displays, like OLED, by employing thousands of tiny LEDs, one for each pixel. This design contributes to balanced brightness, darks, and overall sharpness, and reduces power consumption by eliminating the need for a backlight found in LCD TVs. However, the production process for micro-LED displays is complex and slow. This complexity increases demand for the numerous microscopic LEDs required per panel, leading some companies, including Apple, to continue prioritizing OLED technology. The upcoming CES event is expected to provide insights into future television and general display technologies. Indications suggest the potential emergence of Micro RGB displays, which are anticipated to offer brighter and sharper colors.
