Micro LED, known as the ultimate display technology, after nearly two decades of development, finally ushered in a year of application in which a hundred flowers bloom this year. In the past few years, Micro LED commercial products are most representative of the splicing large commercial display screen and Samsung The Wall display; This year, Micro LED has expanded its field to AR glasses. It has not only seen the prototype of commercial products, but also is considered to be a key technology that can practice AR applications.
”The application of Micro LED this year can be said to be a comprehensive development from large (size) to small, from indoor to outdoor,” said Qiu Yubin, senior research vice president of TrendForce Jibang Consulting. Li Yunli, Chairman of Suntech, said that the micro LED industry is taking off very quickly, and more new products will be sent samples or trial production will begin this year.
The product fields that will be sent samples or trial produced in succession include large display, commercial display, vehicle display, vehicle mounted soft panel, wearable display, AR/VR micro display, etc.
The cost of Micro LED has dropped significantly, which is helpful for the development of large size products
In fact, since Samsung launched the world’s first super large micro LED TV in 2018, the outside world has been full of expectations for the application of micro LED in the field of large displays. However, due to technical and cost issues, the launch of micro LED large display products is really a large-scale until this year. “This year, the cost of Micro LED has decreased by 50% compared with last year”, Yang Fubao, a consultant analyst of TrendForce Jibang, pointed out the most critical factor for the development of micro LED large displays this year – cost optimization.
Although compared with the traditional LED backlight or OLED, the cost of Micro LED, the ultimate display technology, still has considerable room for price reduction, but the extent of cost decline this year has indeed made Micro LED a big step towards commercialization and mass production. Samsung and LG have respectively launched the new generation of The Wall and Magnit Micro LED display products. Domestic manufacturers Lehman and Hisense Business Display have also launched giant display products focusing on Micro LED technology, The size of the Lehman Micro LED display has risen to 163 inches.

In addition to large displays, which have always been an important field for the development of Micro LED technology, Micro LED will have considerable potential for future development in the automotive field.
Of course, considering the safety specifications of the vehicle itself, the certification time of the vehicle industry is at least 3-5 years, and it is also necessary to coordinate with the schedule of vehicle manufacturers to introduce models. The application of Micro LED in the OE market still needs many years of investment.
However, from the perspective of improving the safety experience of driving, Micro LED can definitely show its technical value in the field of Head Up Display (HUD), which can also provide a glimpse of the huge business opportunities behind the active launch of Micro LED transparent displays by all manufacturers.

Among them, JBD has the technical strength of Micro LED light engine, and it is an enterprise with the mass production capacity of Micro LED micro display. It has cooperated with many manufacturers to launch products, which has attracted the attention of the industry. JBD recently cooperated with Shunwei to release Micro LED full-color AR glasses. How it broke through the current technical limitations also made the industry want to have a look.
With the appearance of micro LED products in super large displays, cars, AR glasses and smart watches this year, and the innovation board in Taiwan, micro LED themes are also active in the capital market, and the upstream and downstream of the industry work together to constantly overcome the technical difficulties of micro LED.
Industry insiders do not hesitate to say that more and more micro LED commercialization devices will appear from this year, which will undoubtedly accelerate the technological breakthrough and cost reduction of micro LED, and the takeoff of micro LED application is expected.
