Evolving Display Technologies
With advancements in technology and processes, the next generation of display technologies, Micro/Mini LED and Micro OLED, are evolving along different trajectories and “bearing fruit” in various application fields.
The Rise of Mini LED
Among them, Mini LED direct display technology has been building momentum, showing excellent performance in commercial areas such as security monitoring, command and dispatch, high-definition broadcasting, advertising displays, sports events, conferences, office displays, and medical diagnostics, with noticeable annual growth. It also exhibits significant expansion potential in emerging fields like xR virtual filming, cinema screens, AR/VR, naked-eye 3D, and creative displays.
Micro LED‘s Continued Growth
As for Micro LED technology, despite Apple canceling its Micro LED watch project earlier this year, the technology has not been sidelined. On the contrary, manufacturers are continuing to invest in large display screens and smartwatches while actively expanding into emerging applications like AR glasses and vehicle HUDs, constantly deepening and broadening the application range of Micro LED technology. At the same time, the display industry is continuously pushing for advancements and cost reductions in Micro LED technology, launching more new products and expanding production capacity, driven by the increasing market demand.
The Promise of Micro OLED
Micro OLED technology, which is just one letter away from Micro LED, is currently at a relatively high maturity level and is gradually penetrating the wearable device sector, particularly in AR/VR. Although Micro OLED technology has not yet been widely adopted in AR/VR devices, the adoption by mainstream brands and the push from domestic and international manufacturers are expected to gradually expand the market scale.
The Role of Emerging Technologies
It is noteworthy that the rise of cutting-edge technologies such as AI, the metaverse, and the Internet of Things is providing new momentum for the development of these display technologies. Especially, the integration of AI technology with display products transcends traditional display boundaries, significantly enriching user visual and interactive experiences while stimulating diverse innovative application scenarios across various fields, including entertainment, sports, film advertising, business tourism, virtual filming, and education meetings.
Long-Term Outlook and Short-Term Challenges
In the long run, Micro/Mini LED and Micro OLED are full of vitality, with the dawn of victory seemingly just around the corner, symbolizing hope and opportunities. However, in the short term, practitioners still need to navigate through layers of fog to reach the shores of success.
Questions for the Industry
Facing new challenges, what new innovations can Micro/Mini LED and Micro OLED technologies and products bring? How should the industry chain focus its efforts? In the future VR/AR field, what sparks will Micro OLED and Micro LED create together? How can we further explore their application potential? What key aspects should be effectively driven for industrialization? Given the rapidly changing market environment, what strategies should manufacturers adopt? These questions are worth pondering and exploring for industry practitioners.
