Microleds are actually easier to make small rather than big

just to throw it out there, it’s actually easier to make tiny microled displays, and they’ve been around longer, compared to the large format microleds. I remember seeing chinese 1" 4k high refresh microLED demos from 2016 or some such.
Scaling up was the big challenge that prevented it from coming to market for so long, and the reason big format TVs are all they’re pushing is because they sell more easily at a premium.

Also youtube comments are broken, so I guess I’ll start a discussion on potential applications of small format microLEDs that make way more sense than more pointlessly large TVs for rich people.
Like, for instance, handheld games consoles. 4k 120hz GBA-SP size handheld pls?

Interesting, I had assumed it was the other way round too just because I never looked into it and had only seen convention centre sized displays or massive TVs.

It is interesting that they have caught up with OLED so quickly, it had exactly the same problem, easy to make tiny screens, and only viable in massive screens, seemingly never made it to
normal sized monitors.

Vincent Teoh shared and commented on some manufacturing analysis showing that basically the next 3-5 years belongs to OLEDs , at least in the consumer TV space where super high brightness and burnin is not a huge concern.

Something about OLEDs being projected to cost so much cheaper even in a few years such that you can buy several new ones if/when they develop burn in issues.

OLED was intended to be a cheaper display technology, for smart devices, MP3 players, and the like.
No good for computer monitors, though.
