MicroLED

(MICRO Light Emitting Diode) An LED display technology that uses very small pixels. Also known as "mLED" and "µLED," MicroLED is a true LED emitter like OLED and plasma rather than the backlight source in an LCD/LED TV. Modular wall-sized MicroLED displays were demonstrated by LG and Samsung in 2018 that were made up of several square modules that fit together. In 2019, Samsung introduced a 75" MicroLED TV. Mass production for MicroLED-based TVs, phones, watches and microdisplays is expected in the 2021-2024 time frame. See LED, OLED and LED TV.


LED Pixel Sizes
Whereas MicroLEDs are direct emitters of the pixel colors, both regular LEDs and MiniLEDs are used as backlights for LCD TVs. MiniLEDs are generally in the 100-300 µm range, whereas 100 µm is the upper range for MicroLEDs. (Image courtesy of Ron Mertens, www.microled-info.com)
