Are Tiny MicroLEDs The Next Big Thing For Displays?
One of the latest emerging trends is a renewed focus on microLED technology. What is a microLED, and why is the industry focusing on this technology? As the name suggests, a microLED, or µLED, is a light-emitting diode (LED) – roughly 100 times smaller than conventional LEDs. MicroLEDs can be arranged into arrays to make high-resolution displays for applications ranging from smartwatches to very large displays – unlike conventional LEDs, which are suitable only for very large displays like billboards or stadium screens.

Micro-LED Displays, A Threat To OLED Displays Or Not?
With the launch of Micro- and Mini-LED displays by various OEMs and display vendors, the self-emissive LED-based displays have attracted tremendous attention by both investors and end-users. Micro-LED, believed by many as the next-generation display technology, has been pursued by players of LED, display, OEM, materials and so on. It is also widely believed by many that Micro-LED displays are the replacement of OLED displays, especially in TV applications.

Micro-LEDs Have Complex Value Proposition
As the name implies, Micro-LEDs use much smaller LED chips than its predecessors and the displays are made of self-emissive inorganic LEDs, acting as subpixels. These LEDS are generally in the micrometer range, without package nor substrate, and are transferred in a way different from traditional pick-and-place techniques. The most often cited value propositions for them are a wide color gamut, high luminance, low power consumption, high stability and long lifetime, wide view angle and high dynamic range.

Patterned Surface Energy In Elastomeric Molds As A Generalized Approach To Polymer Particle Fabrication
We present a generic fabrication scheme to produce polymer microparticles with engineerable, complex shapes. The polymer particles are made from polyethylene glycol based hydrogels using a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) molding technique. A simple surface treatment is used to pattern the surface energy of the PDMS molds, engendering the recessed wells in the molds with a higher surface energy than that of the surface. The contrast in surface energy causes hydrogel precursor to wet only the inside of the molds, creating isolated particles after curing with UV light.
ScienceDirect
Patterning Technique
Frequently used patterning techniques include nanolithography, nanoimprint, and micro/nanoprinting. Nanolithography uses lights, charged ions, or electron beams to transfer a geometric pattern from a premade photomask to a photoresist layer, which is coated on a thin film material or the bulk of substrate. The technique then uses a series of posttreatments to chemically engrave the transferred pattern into, or allow the deposition of new material in the transferred pattern upon the target material.

Thermomechanical Properties Of Elastomeric Stamps For Micro-Transfer Printing Applications
Micro-transfer printing (MTP) enables mass-transfer of wafer-level chips having lateral dimensions ranging from 3 x 7 um to 650 x 650 um to a nonnative substrate. This is accomplished with an elastomeric stamp containing micrometer scale posts that have been precisely defined using photolithography. MTP is highly parallel and is capable of transferring tens of thousands of devices in a single MTP operation. Transfer yields and placement accuracy, however, are dependent on the performance of the micrometer structured elastomer stamp.

MicroLED Explained: The Best TV Technology You Might Never Own
The basic concept behind MicroLED is that screens are built using LEDs so small (usually under 50 micrometers) that they represent individual pixels in the image. That's compared with the usual LED TV situation where far bigger LEDs are used in a backlight to light many hundreds or thousands of pixels at once. You don’t have to be Einstein to realise that making a screen where each pixel is its own light source gives you a self-emissive type of display, opening the door to peerless levels of local contrast, colour and general light control. Which should add up to gorgeously natural, detailed, and refined images.
