Bursting With Brighter Colour - IDTechEx Covers Micro-LED Displays

Micro-LED displays possess many qualities that give them unique value within the market. They are self-emissive and have great stability, more so than OLEDs and QLEDs, as they do not have the same sensitivity to oxygen and water. Micro-LEDs, therefore, have a longer lifetime of over 50,000 hours. Companies such as Sony, Samsung, LG, Konka, and TCL are included in the report as some of the existing micro-LED display manufacturers.
