What is MicroLED and how is it different from LED?

MicroLED uses microscopic LEDs (under 100 micrometres) as individual self-emissive pixels. Unlike conventional LED displays where clusters of RGB LEDs form each pixel, MicroLED pixels emit their own light without a backlight. This enables perfect black levels (pixel turns completely off), unlimited contrast ratio, and superior colour accuracy. Think of it as combining the best of OLED (perfect blacks) with LED (high brightness, no burn-in).

Is MicroLED worth the premium price?

MicroLED is currently 3-5x more expensive than COB LED. It's justified for: spaces where image quality is the absolute priority (boardrooms, luxury hospitality), very close viewing distances (under 1.5m), environments requiring perfect blacks and HDR, and prestige installations. For most commercial applications, COB or MiP LED delivers excellent quality at significantly lower cost.

What pixel pitch is available in MicroLED?

Commercial MicroLED is available from P0.4 to P0.9. The most popular is P0.6 and P0.7 for boardroom and flagship applications. At P0.6, minimum viewing distance is under 1 metre, making it suitable for close-proximity applications where individual pixels must be invisible.

MicroLED vs OLED for commercial displays?

MicroLED is superior to OLED for commercial use: 3-5x higher brightness (up to 4,000 nits vs 800 nits), zero burn-in risk (OLED degrades with static content), longer lifespan (100,000 vs 30,000 hours), and seamless scalability to any size. OLED is limited to fixed panel sizes. MicroLED's only disadvantage is higher cost.
