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. As the names indicate, Mini-LEDs are considered as LEDs in the millimeter range while Micro-LEDs are in the micrometer range. 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.

When applied in the display industry, size is just one factor when people are talking about Mini-LED and Micro-LED displays. Another feature is the LED thickness and substrate. Mini-LEDs usually have a large thickness of over 100 µm, largely due to the existence of LED substrates. While Micro-LEDs are usually substrateless and therefore the finished LEDs are extremely thin.

A third feature that is used to distinguish the two is the mass transfer techniques that are utilized to handle the LEDs. Mini-LEDs usually adopt conventional pick and place techniques including surface mounting technology. Every time the number of LEDs that can be transferred is limited. For Micro-LEDs, usually millions of LEDs need to be transferred when a heterogenous target substrate is used, therefore the number of LEDs to be transferred at a time is significantly larger, and thus disruptive mass transfer technique should be considered.

Specializing in the development of GaN semiconductor substrate materials, mini/micro LED epitaxy and chip technologies, and mini/micro LED display modules manufacturing, HCP dedicates to creating a vertically integrated ecosystem of indoor LED display, receiving technical supports from leading academic institutions such as Peking University.

Mini LED and Micro LED have been two cutting-edge technologies in the spotlight across the display industry, where relevant applications are thriving, particularly those powered by Mini LED. After Apple launched its Mini LED iPad Pro, Mini LED is expected to take off quickly in the market. However, the transfer process remains a challenge for mass production of Mini LED (and Micro LED, too). Processing a large number of Mini/Micro LEDs (which is necessary for mass production) using the existing technologies and equipment is apparently too tim...

In the modern world, LED technology is everywhere. These standard LEDs usually measure 1000 microns (0.04 inches) across, and are used in a variety of applications. As the science has developed, however, even more refined versions of this technology have been created. Mini LEDs​ and micro LEDs function similarly to standard LEDs, but on a much smaller scale. Mini LEDs tend to measure 200 microns across, while micro LEDs can be as small as 100 microns, or 0.004 inches, across. While micro LEDs represent the theoretical optimization of LED technology, the mini LED serves as a transitional technology between standard LEDs and micro LEDs. They promise substantial gains in performance from standard LEDs, while being much easier to produce than micro LEDs.

Conceptually, the micro LED display and the mini LED display function quite similarly. A backlit LED matrix contains myriad individual diodes, whose color and brightness can be controlled independently to generate countless images and patterns.

Structurally, the micro LED display is actually simpler than the mini LED display. Scaling the technology down to the micro LED level means that the structural design of the overall LED board can be simplified, due to reduced weight and stress concerns. However, while this technology is structurally simpler, it takes a higher level of sophistication to achieve this design on a micro-scale.

Both mini and micro LED systems are manufactured through similar means. Manufacturing mini LEDs tends to have higher yield rates than micro LEDs, due to the relative size and complexity of each technology. Mini LED display lights can also be manufactured more energy efficiently.

LED mini display lights are applicable to the majority of current LED applications, including electronic devices, video games, automobile displays, and more. Micro LEDs can be applied to the same uses, although their higher cost makes mini displays preferable in these cases. Micro LEDs excel in applications such as compact wearable technologies and virtual reality, where clarity in a small physical space is essential.

Mini LED screens are easier to mass-produce using existing manufacturing facilities, as they are similar to the current LEDs that are already under mass production. In contrast, micro LEDs generally require an investment in new manufacturing infrastructure, as they are a revolutionary technology and cannot be produced through traditional means.

Mini LEDs are far superior to traditional OLED technology for application in smartphone devices. Backlit Mini LED displays are clearer and more compact than OLED displays, and also have superior color rendering while maintaining high contrast and brilliant brightness in sophisticated gaming monitors. Once the cost of manufacturing infrastructure is invested, Mini LEDs are actually cheaper to produce than OLED displays, by a margin of 70 to 80 percent. They also have a longer life, and are not susceptible to the "burn-in" and image retention issues of traditional OLED screens.

Another application that mini LEDs were developed for is direct-view LED displays in automobiles. OLED displays can have an issue where they are too bright when viewed directly, but too dim when viewed indirectly, making them dangerous for implementation in automobile displays. Mini LEDs solve this issue through their finer granularity and brightness control.

In recent years, LCD television technologies have slipped in performance and market share versus OLED technologies. This divide is particularly notable in the most profitable, high-end part of the television and display market, where each unit purchased from a competitor holds a great deal of value. Mini LEDs present an opportunity for LCD screen developers to gain a second win in this market race, and produce a product that can compete better in today"s hectic global market.

It is possible to integrate mini LED displays with a "chip on board" (COB) architecture, driving the brightness and colors of each individual mini LED in the display without the need for an externally integrated driver. As mentioned in the discussion on automotive application, this sort of integration allows this technology, which is superior for use in automotive and similar direct-view compact applications, to be integrated seamlessly as a single package. This simple integration is promising for the future of narrow pixel pitch LED displays being included in a broad serviceable market.

In addition to all of the promising application of mini LED displays that exist now, there are several fields that mini LEDs can be applied to on a wide scale in the near future. The entertainment field is one that is hungry for technologies such as mini LEDs. The world"s best cinemas have already moved beyond projector technologies to standard LED displays; in the future, as customers continue to look for superior entertainment experiences, mini LEDs are the logical next step. A cinematic screen made up of this technology is the future of film entertainment.

Another entertainment application of mini LEDs is in the virtual reality sphere. In this field, compact and detailed photo and video representation is essential, and mini LEDs stand as the best technology to achieve virtual reality in a compact headset or other design space. The common thread between all of these future prospects of mini LEDs is the advantage of this technology when it comes to having smaller pixel pitch. This is the buzzword for display developers of any type in the future, and this is where mini LEDs have their edge.

The Unilumin 0.9mm Mini LED is one of the most promising forerunners of mini LED technology in the modern day. Announced in 2019, this mini LED measures in at 900 microns, which is larger than the theoretical minimum for this technology, but much smaller than the market standard as it stands today. The Unilumin Mini LED is demonstrated to be functional in small and large applications, and is an excellent starting point for investing in mini LEDs for your products

A mini LED display option is easy to use and can"t be customizedined to a certain size. The example of a programmable LED display panel is the for choice, many users. The led display panels on Alibaba.com offer different displays, for example, lighter lamps, light efficiency, and convenience.

LED lights contain no toxic gases like argon or mercury, and they are recyclable materials. For example, a mini LED display can contain no toxic gases like argon or mercury, and they are recyclable materials. With the most popular light-emitting diode, LEDs are a popular light-emitting diode, that can contain no toxic gases like argon and mercury, recycled materials, and dust.

A mini LED display, with LCDds, is one of the most basic things. It can be programmable to have a small number of displays, with high-precision color, contrast, brightness, and consumption.

It is easy to set, install, and change the screen based on other features. Some mini LEDs are programmable, so they can be set up, install, and configure to have different built.in the case of a battery-operated mini LED display or any other electronic devices, mini LEDs are easy to set.

Flat-panel displays are thin panels of glass or plastic used for electronically displaying text, images, or video. Liquid crystal displays (LCD), OLED (organic light emitting diode) and microLED displays are not quite the same; since LCD uses a liquid crystal that reacts to an electric current blocking light or allowing it to pass through the panel, whereas OLED/microLED displays consist of electroluminescent organic/inorganic materials that generate light when a current is passed through the material. LCD, OLED and microLED displays are driven using LTPS, IGZO, LTPO, and A-Si TFT transistor technologies as their backplane using ITO to supply current to the transistors and in turn to the liquid crystal or electroluminescent material. Segment and passive OLED and LCD displays do not use a backplane but use indium tin oxide (ITO), a transparent conductive material, to pass current to the electroluminescent material or liquid crystal. In LCDs, there is an even layer of liquid crystal throughout the panel whereas an OLED display has the electroluminescent material only where it is meant to light up. OLEDs, LCDs and microLEDs can be made flexible and transparent, but LCDs require a backlight because they cannot emit light on their own like OLEDs and microLEDs.

Liquid-crystal display (or LCD) is a thin, flat panel used for electronically displaying information such as text, images, and moving pictures. They are usually made of glass but they can also be made out of plastic. Some manufacturers make transparent LCD panels and special sequential color segment LCDs that have higher than usual refresh rates and an RGB backlight. The backlight is synchronized with the display so that the colors will show up as needed. The list of LCD manufacturers:

Organic light emitting diode (or OLED displays) is a thin, flat panel made of glass or plastic used for electronically displaying information such as text, images, and moving pictures. OLED panels can also take the shape of a light panel, where red, green and blue light emitting materials are stacked to create a white light panel. OLED displays can also be made transparent and/or flexible and these transparent panels are available on the market and are widely used in smartphones with under-display optical fingerprint sensors. LCD and OLED displays are available in different shapes, the most prominent of which is a circular display, which is used in smartwatches. The list of OLED display manufacturers:

MicroLED displays is an emerging flat-panel display technology consisting of arrays of microscopic LEDs forming the individual pixel elements. Like OLED, microLED offers infinite contrast ratio, but unlike OLED, microLED is immune to screen burn-in, and consumes less power while having higher light output, as it uses LEDs instead of organic electroluminescent materials, The list of MicroLED display manufacturers:

Sony produces and sells commercial MicroLED displays called CLEDIS (Crystal-LED Integrated Displays, also called Canvas-LED) in small quantities.video walls.

LCDs are made in a glass substrate. For OLED, the substrate can also be plastic. The size of the substrates are specified in generations, with each generation using a larger substrate. For example, a 4th generation substrate is larger in size than a 3rd generation substrate. A larger substrate allows for more panels to be cut from a single substrate, or for larger panels to be made, akin to increasing wafer sizes in the semiconductor industry.

The 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR display has an IPS LCD panel supporting a resolution of 2732 by 2048 pixels for a total of 5.6 million pixels with 264 pixels per inch. To achieve Extreme Dynamic Range required an entirely new display architecture on iPad Pro. The all new 2D mini-LED backlighting system with individually controlled local dimming zones was the best choice for delivering the extremely high full-screen brightness and contrast ratio, and off-axis color accuracy, that creative professionals depend on for their workflows.

The Liquid Retina XDR display can support up to 1000 nits of full-screen brightness. It can also support up to 1600 nits for highlights in up to 40 percent of the screen area when the rest of that image is black or at brightness up to 600 nits.

Unlike the previous design that takes light emitting from one edge of the display and evenly distributes it across the entire back, the Liquid Retina XDR display uses over 10,000 custom-designed mini-LEDs spread uniformly across the entire back of the display, delivering higher LED density than any other display of its kind. These mini-LEDs are grouped into an array of over 2,500 individually controlled local dimming zones. This delivers incredibly deep blacks right next to bright image areas, achieving a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio.

The Liquid Retina XDR display improves upon the trade-offs of typical local dimming systems, where the extreme brightness of LEDs might cause a slight blooming effect because the LED zones are larger than the LCD pixel size. This display is designed to deliver crisp front-of-screen performance with its incredibly small custom mini-LED design, industry leading mini-LED density, large number of individually controlled local dimming zones, and custom optical films that shape the light while maintaining image fidelity and extreme brightness and contrast.

Additionally, custom algorithms run on the advanced display engine of the M1 chip, working at the pixel level to control the mini-LED and LCD layers of the display separately, treating them as two distinct displays. These proprietary algorithms coordinate the mini-LED and LCD layers across transitions to deliver the optimal visual experience. Transitional characteristics of local dimming zones, such as a slight blur or color change while scrolling against black backgrounds, are normal behavior.

The Liquid Retina XDR display delivers P3 wide color. The color gamut afforded by the P3 primaries is larger than sRGB, offering richer and more saturated colors, especially with certain reds, yellows, and greens. The result is rich and vibrant color that’s also used in the digital cinema industry. Every Liquid Retina XDR display is also calibrated at the factory for color, brightness, gamma, and white point for a consistent visual experience.

ProMotion technology automatically adjusts the display refresh rate up to 120 Hz (twice the rate of typical LCD displays) to the optimal rate for the content. The result is ultra-smooth scrolling and incredible responsiveness on the display, whether you’re using your finger or Apple Pencil. True Tone technology subtly adjusts the white balance onscreen to match the color temperature of the light around you, so images on the display look as natural as on a printed page. The cover glass on the Liquid Retina XDR display has an on-axis reflection of 1.8 percent due to a custom antireflective coating. As a result, iPad Pro delivers industry-leading reflectivity for a more comfortable viewing experience indoors and out.

We’ve been hearing more and more about new LCD display technologies and how Apple plans to adopt them in its devices this year. Follow along for an explainer on what mini-LED display tech is, why Apple is moving to it with iPad and MacBook Pro soon, and what to expect from Apple’s 2021 plans.

LED-backlit LCD displays replaced CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent) ones over the last decade as they offer a number of advantages across many aspects including reliability, lifespan, wider color gamut, smaller physical size, power efficiency, dimming capabilities, and more.

While OLED (organic light-emitting diode) displays have become the current choice for many flagship smartphones and smartwatches like the iPhone 11 Pro and 12 lineup and Apple Watch, mini-LED and micro-LED are set to bring further improvements to displays.

Traditional LED-backlit displays will have anywhere from several dozen to several hundred LEDs. As the name suggests, mini-LED displays make use of miniaturized backlighting and can feature over a thousand full array local dimming (FALD) zones.

So what are micro-LEDs? They are an order of magnitude smaller than the mini variant and are as tiny as 1/100th the size of a traditional LED backlight in an LCD display. They go further with the benefits that mini-LED has over standard LED-powered LCD displays and can provide over 30x greater brightness compared to OLED.

The tricky part about manufacturing micro-LED displays at a high quality is you’re dedicating an LED for each pixel of a display. Semiconductor Engineering explains:

MicroLED is where you shrink them down to the scale of tens of microns. You place one in each pixel. It’s so much smaller and harder to do. It’s harder to physically put them where you want them to be. It’s also harder to make the LEDs themselves so that they perform well.

It makes sense then that the two major holdups for these new display technologies are cost and manufacturing at scale, and that Apple is looking to do mini-LED with its larger portable devices first and implement micro-LED with Apple Watch to start.

All the way back in 2019, Kuo predicted we could see Apple’s iPad Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro are expected to see the switch to mini-LED as soon as Q4 2020. That didn’t come to pass, but reports are stacking up that the time is soon. More recent reports from TrendForce and Digitimes predict the next 12.9-inch iPad Pro getting mini-LED in Q1 2021.

And just yesterday, Macotakara published a report that the new large iPad Pro with mini-LED will launch in March this year with a slightly thicker body to accommodate the new display tech.

Meanwhile, the new 14- and 16-inch M1 MacBook Pro models we’re expecting are rumored to include the switch to mini-LED too. Those should be released this year sometime.

When it comes to micro-LED, we haven’t been hearing near as much about that shift. Apple Watch 6/SE didn’t adopt the tech last year (after a report that it would), but it could be that Apple Watch Series 7 is the first to debut micro-LED in the fall.
