CNET: Wall-size, million-dollar MicroLED TVs point to the future of television

Sep 16, 2021

MicroLEDs may be in their early stages of development, but they are the future of display. Today, there are few microLED displays available to the public, but at large sizes and cost. Samsung, and most recently LG, both offer wall-sized TVs featuring this advanced technology. A new class of extremely small microLED pixels with quantum dot color conversion could enable this exciting technology to finally break into the mainstream.

In case you’re wondering what is microLED and how it works, CNET breaks it down for us in this article below.

Geoffrey Morrison writing for CNET:

It's possible we're now in the early days of microLED. It's a technology that holds a lot of promise, in both picture quality, screen size and myriad other uses.

Here's how it works. As the name suggests, MicroLED is made of millions of micro, well, LEDs. Tinier versions of what's in your current LCD TV, or newer flashlights, light bulbs and what myriad other devices use to create light. This makes MicroLED seem simple. So why did it take so long just to make smaller LEDs and stick them in a TV?
