From PC Mag: Samsung has arrived at CES with some very big TVs powered by very small lights. The company today unveiled several new MicroLED TVs, including new, commercial versions of The Wall and the modular, scalable The Window.
MicroLED is Samsung's new display technology, based on a heavily miniaturized version of RGB light-emitting diode (LED) arrays used in very large commercial displays. MicroLED displays have very small LEDs for each pixel; they individually illuminate based on the light and color that pixel needs to display.
It's fundamentally separate from LED-backlit LCD TVs, which use LEDs to light a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel that produces the picture. It functions similarly to the now well-established and still-expensive organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology used in flagship TVs from LG and Sony, but is chemically and mechanically distinct. OLED panels must be manufactured in complete sections like LCD panels and are unfeasible to manufacture in very large sizes, while MicroLED modules can be scaled and assembled in sections to support much bigger screens.
