The unanswered opportunity of microLED displays

January 03, 2019 | Research Report

In the past five years, there has been a significant uptick in investment in microLED technology. Apple, Foxconn-Sharp, Samsung, and Facebook have all recently acquired startups in this space, as microLED is considered a direct competitor to OLED, with its longer lifetime and more responsive performance. However, manufacturability has held back the commercial potential of microLED displays. In this report, we explore the potential for microLEDs and the different fabrication approaches under development.
