Mini LED and Micro LED

In the rapid evolution of display technology, Mini LED technology has become the new favorite of the industry with its unique advantages. From Apple's iPad Pro to Huawei's smart screen V75 Super, major technology giants have launched products equipped with Mini LED technology, which undoubtedly pushed Mini LED to the forefront of the market. Mini LED technology, as a transition before the maturity of Micro LED technology, is reshaping the landscape of display technology with its dual potential in direct display and backlight fields.

Overview of Mini LED Technology

Mini LED, or sub-millimeter light-emitting diode, is a display technology with a size between small-pitch LED and Micro LED. Compared with traditional LEDs, Mini LED is smaller in size and has a design structure between 100-200 microns. This technology not only reduces process difficulty and production costs, but also speeds up the pace of capacity ramp-up and mass production. Mini LED can be used as a backlight to improve the performance of LCD panels, or as a direct display, providing advantages such as high brightness, wide color gamut, high contrast, high-speed response, low power consumption and long life. Here is Mini LED: a comprehensive overview.

Comparison between Mini LED direct display and backlight

Mini LED direct display technology uses Mini LED chips directly as display pixels to achieve direct display of images. This technology has the advantages of good color integrity, high contrast, and thinner display effects, and is regarded as the "outpost" of the next generation display system. However, due to the high technical difficulty and relatively high cost, Mini LED direct display is currently more used in professional customized markets, such as traffic command centers, security monitoring centers, etc. Here is Micro LED: a comprehensive overview.

In contrast, Mini LED backlight technology is relatively easy to implement and more popular. It uses Mini LED as the backlight source of LCD panels, giving LCD panels the advantages of ultra-high contrast, high color gamut, and high dynamic range (HDR). Mini LED backlight products are mainly used in display fields below 110 inches, including TV, mobile phones, e-sports, and car displays. Analyze the 9 differences between Mini LED and Micro LED for you.

The development prospects of Mini LED market

According to forecasts, the global shipment of Mini LED TVs will reach 3 million units, and it is expected that by 2025, the penetration rate of Mini LED in display and other fields will exceed 20%. With the participation of major manufacturers such as Apple, Mini LED will become a benchmark for shaping high-end products in the tablet and notebook markets, further releasing the market energy of Mini LED products.

Reshaping of the industrial chain and industry reshuffle

The large-scale commercial production of Mini LED indicates that the LED display industry will usher in a new round of industrial chain reshaping. From upstream chip design and manufacturing to midstream LED packaging and testing, and then to downstream LED applications, the rise of Mini LED has brought new growth opportunities to the entire industrial chain. Packaging companies are expected to transform from LED lamp bead device suppliers to Mini backlight module suppliers, while upstream LED epitaxial chip companies have become major participants in the global industrial chain. Introducing LED chips: technology, application and development.

With the glass-based Mini LED backlight and direct display of companies such as BOE entering the mass production stage, the Mini LED industry chain has been gradually improved, providing possibilities for more terminal applications. In the future, the product added value between the upstream and downstream of Mini LED will be greater, and the industry integration will be more obvious. Mini LED will become a battleground, breaking the existing industry structure, raising the industry's technical and financial thresholds, and accelerating the reshuffle of the LED display industry.

On the eve of the Mini LED outbreak, Chinese LED display companies must learn to walk on "two legs", and backlight and direct display are indispensable to occupy a place in this blue ocean market. With the continuous maturity of technology and the reduction of costs, Mini LED will undoubtedly become an important driving force for the development of display technology, leading us into a new era of visual experience.
