Global Micro-LED Market Overview:
Micro-LED is an appearing flat panel display technology. Micro-LED displays consist of arrays of microscopic LEDs forming the individual pixel elements. Compared with universal LCD technology, micro-LED exhibitions propose better contrast, response times, and energy efficiency. It mainly offers reduced energy and infinite contrast radio requirement compared with the conventional LCD systems.
Global Micro-LED Market Insights
The global
micro-LED market expected to increase market value by USD 19.46 million with exponential CAGR in the forecast period from 2020-2027. The market demand for micro-LED is fueling due to the commercial potential of micro LEDs in key application areas, including AR/ VR, reminder displays, smartwatches, mobile phones, and tablets.
The factors driving the growth of the global miniature light-emitting diode (LED) market is the integration of miniature LEDs in televisions. Some TV manufacturers have begun to develop TV prototypes of micro LEDs that provide higher brightness and incredibly deep HDR tones. These LEDs expected to have a longer lifespan than OLED panels because there is no effect of natural degradation. These advantages expected to increase the adoption of micro LEDs for TV.
The demand for miniature LED displays with small size, and excellent visual effects are booming worldwide. The global display manufacturers choose micro-LED solutions to improve the consumer experience. The high pixel resolution of micro-LED displays can bring a unique image quality. Besides, the demand for display size reduction is more conducive to the development of the micro-LED display market. However, the growth in demand for flexible and foldable display technologies has hindered the expansion of the micro-LED display market.
Through the micro-LED array, the micro-LED display can provide higher contrast and performance. It uses gallium nitride (GaN) technology principles to ensure superior brightness, even brighter than OLED displays. Compared with traditional OLED displays, micro-LED displays provide 30 times the intensity and efficiency, and the response time is also faster.
Moreover, the development of GaN-on-Si technology, other factors, such as the rapid development of technology and more and more strategic partnerships and cooperation, will have a significant impact on the growth of the microelectronic light-emitting diode (LED) market.
Growth Driver
The Superior Performance of micro-LED
Extensive evaluation of working prototypes proves that micro-LED technology is superior to LCD and OLED. It is mainly due to the micro-LED applications having the advantages of small size, low weight, ultra-high-resolution, and ultra-high brightness. Therefore, it will be a direct favorable factor for applications such as near-eye AR / VR projectors and car reminder displays.
Demand for Bright Display
Due to the dramatic increase in the production cost of LCD and OLED panels at more than 100 inches at this stage, the Micro LED TV given an opportunity to cut in. When the technology and production process of Micro LED become mature in the future, there will be opportunities to cut into mainstream sizes. In addition to increasing brightness and contrast, JDC pixel-by-pixel pulse width modulation technology is very suitable for Micro LEDs as digital switching allows accurate coloring. Besides, a single on-state current will provide a single stable color.
