TrendForce Announces 10 Tech Industry Trends For 2022
A substantial number of technical bottlenecks in Micro LED development will still persist in 2022. While Micro LED manufacturing costs are expected to remain sky-high due to these bottlenecks, companies have not shown decreased willingness to participate in all segments of the Micro LED supply chain. On the contrary, these companies are actively expanding their respective production lines. Regarding the development of self-emitting Micro LED display products, TVs represent one of the major directions of mainstream Micro LED development, primarily because TVs, compared to IT products, have a relatively low technological barrier of entry.

Driving The New Technology On The Block
MicroLED displays are the new technology on the block. And with a new technology, all of the previous givens are being re-examined, including whether the display will be driven with a TFT backplane or with some sort of distributed silicon solution. The aim of this short article is to talk about my overall thoughts on the TFT driving part of the equation. When we are talking about MicroLED displays we are typically talking about displays that have inorganic emitters smaller than 50 μm x 50 μm, though in reality we need to be discussing emitters smaller than 10 μm x 10 μm for them to be used cost effectively in mainstream displays such as TVs and smaller than this for smartphones.

Mini-LED To Micro-LED Displays: The Industry Game-Changer Is Coming
When discussing Mini-LED and Micro-LED, a very common feature to distinguish the two is the LED size. Both Mini-LED and Micro-LED are based on inorganic LEDs.

However, in reality, the distinction is not so strict, and the definition may vary from person to person. But it is commonly accepted that micro-LEDs are under 100 µm size, and even under 50 µm, while mini-LEDs are much larger.

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.

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.

Micro-LED Market Future Innovation Strategies 2025
Micro-LED aka as mLED is a leap over widely used LCD technology. This is with respect to its greater contrast, faster response time, and less energy consumption. The mLED display consists of an array of microscopic LEDs that form the individual pixel elements. Invented in 2000 by a group of researchers from the Texas Tech University, micro-LED is currently in a nascent stage and does not account for a mass production of displays.
