With the continuous development of modern technology, Micro-LED lights are a kind of more tiny LED beads, which are mainly used in some high-end display fields, such as TVs, game displays and so on. Let’s take a closer look.
What is Micro-LED light?
Micro-LED light is made by Micro-LED technology. Its size is less than 100 microns, and the pixel point is the light source, each pixel point has three colors of red, green and blue, through the mixing of these three colors, the Micro-LED light can finally present brilliant colors. Micro-LEDs are mainly made of inorganic materials, which can better provide good luminous effect for the display.
Advantages of Micro LED lights
High brightness
Micro LED lights are made of inorganic materials, and their luminous and display effects are better than those of traditional LED lights made of organic compounds. Micro LED lights can reach a brightness of 5000 nits or more, and this high brightness can provide a good viewing experience for viewers. Micro LED lights will not burn out or degrade due to their unique light-emitting properties and chemistry.
Clarity
Micro-LEDs are small enough to provide a clear and visible picture for LED displays consisting of Micro-LEDs. Higher clarity brings a more detailed, vivid and natural look to the Micro-LED display, allowing the viewer to quickly recognize what is being displayed on the Micro-LED display and attracting the viewer’s attention.
Energy Efficiency
Traditional lamps do not use energy-efficient LED lights, so they release a lot of heat energy, causing the surrounding temperature to rise, thus making the overall energy consumption higher. Micro-LED lights, on the other hand, emit little to no heat, so the overall energy consumption of a display formed by Micro-LED lights will be lowed.
Excellent color gamut
Micro LED lights have three different color light sources, which can be adjusted in different ratios to produce different colors of light, and because each Micro LED light can be controlled individually, it can provide viewers with richer and more accurate color images.
Durability
Durability is better with Micro LED lights in the display. This is because Micro LED lights generate little to no heat, which reduces the overall heat buildup and decreases the likelihood of monitor failure, thus greatly increasing the durability of the monitor and extending its lifespan.
Improved Eye Comfort
Viewers experience eye discomfort when viewing monitors. To alleviate this problem, Micro LED lights are made into displays with an added layer of flat light that broadly scatters direct light, thus relieving eye fatigue and discomfort when viewing the display.
Pixel Protection
Micro LED lights with pixel protection don’t require much maintenance from you. This protection is designed with a black seal that effectively prevents the entry of dust, water and moisture, thus enabling better use of the Micro LED display.
Breaking the 1mm barrier
Unlike traditional LCD technology, micro-LED technology utilizes flip chip cob technology. This technology eliminates wire bonding, which improves optical performance and reduces the impact of physical factors, and maximizes contrast.
Micro-LED vs. LCD and OLED
Micro-LED Display vs. LCD
Clarity and Resolution
Micro-LED displays have higher clarity and resolution than LCDs, both in terms of clarity and resolution. The reason for this is that the pixel pitch of a Micro-LED display is smaller, resulting in higher clarity and resolution. LCDs have a larger pixel pitch and do not offer the same level of clarity and resolution as Micro-LEDs.
Black Performance
In terms of black performance, Micro-LED displays are far superior to LCDs, as the Micro-LED lamps in Micro-LED displays can be controlled independently, and therefore can present a nearly black image when the Micro-LED lamps are turned off. LCDs, on the other hand, use a backlight to present the image, so the original black color will appear as a dark gray color block on the screen.
Brightness and Contrast
The brightness of Micro-LED display can be 700~5500cd/m2, while the brightness of LCD is 200~350cd/m2. The contrast ratio of Micro-LED display is 10,000:1, while the display contrast ratio of LCD is 5,000:1. It can be seen that the brightness and contrast ratio of Micro-LED display is much higher than that of LCD.
Size
As Micro-LED display is modular, it can be spliced in different sizes to achieve the desired size dimensions. The size of LCD is made up of liquid crystal molecules, which do not have this feature, so the size of LCD will be very fixed and limited.
Low energy consumption rate
When the LED is miniaturized, its energy utilization rate will be higher, so we only need a small amount of energy supply to make it emit light. Unlike LCDs, which usually require a backlight panel to be lit in order to emit light properly. Compared to LCD, the energy consumption rate of Micro-LED is significantly lower.
Micro-LED Display vs. OLED display
Clarity and Resolution
From the direction of the pixels, Micro-LED display has more pixels than OLED display, and the pitch of each pixel is smaller, so the clarity and resolution of Micro-LED display is higher than that of OLED display, and Micro-LED display is more capable of providing high-definition picture quality to the audience.
Brightness and Contrast
Micro-LED displays are made of inorganic materials, so to a certain extent, they will be brighter and more contrasting than OLED displays made of organic semiconductor materials.
Burn-in
This is a problem that often occurs with OLED displays. However, due to the different light emitting mechanism, Micro-LED displays do not suffer from this problem.
Conclusion
Through the reading of this article, we know the advantages of Micro-LED lights. However, at the moment, the mainstream displays, nowadays, are still dominated by LCDs and OLEDs due to the difficulty of manufacturing Micro-LED screens.
