Advantages and disadvantages of mini led, micro led and OLED

Despite the manufacturing obstacles, micro LED technology is still worth looking forward to because it provides more progress than OLED. First of all, it is the reduction of power at maximum Brightness, that is to say, under the same low power condition, micro LED can achieve greater brightness. In contrast, the power consumption is 90% lower than LCD, and 50% lower than OLED. This is a huge attraction for portable products such as smart phones, which have a very valuable battery life, which means reducing the power consumption of the screen and bringing about longer use time. Compared with current OLED and LCD, manufacturers can increase the brightness of the panel and use it better in direct sunlight.

In addition, the display life of micro LED is longer than OLED. OLED screen is still a big problem because of the limited service life of organic materials, especially the blue OLED panel. Micro LED has no such concerns, even longer than LCD before color conversion.

And smaller micro led size can also make high-Resolution easier to achieve, such as 4K or even 8K resolution smart phones or virtual reality screens. When it comes to virtual reality technology, the Response Time of OLED panel has been reduced to microsecond level, with a very good response time level. This makes them the best choice for virtual reality applications. After changing to micro led, the response time is further reduced to nanosecond level, 1000 times faster.

In addition to the above advantages, micro led also has greater advantages in contrast, color gamut and flexible display. All of these make micro led become an advantage when compared with OLED again, but the manufacturing price cost of micro LED is also much higher, even three to four times of the current LCD or OLED panel. There is no doubt that this will increase the cost of products, and even affect the investment of the whole industry. After all, many manufacturers are still expanding the OLED screen production line.
