MicroLED is coming soon to smartwatches if these new reports are to be believed. The latest report from Digitimes clams that a US-based smartwatch brand will start a design process in Q3 2019 using a 1.25″ micro-LED display that was co-developed by RiTDisplay and PlayNitride. RiT will start shipping samples in Q4 2019.
Unfortunately for most, MicroLED displays don’t seem to have taken off yet. While the company is conservative about the business outlook for the display industry amid volatile market conditions, the company expects its performance to improve in the second half of 2019, buoyed by peak-season effect. This essentially means we can expect more MicroLED devices pretty soon.
For those who aren’t in the new, MicroLED displays are the upcoming competitor to the current OLED displays. MicroLED displays are more slender, more brilliant, and more vitality proficient than OLED panels. MicroLED displays likewise have inorganic gallium nitride-based LEDs, which have a more drawn out life expectancy than the natural compound utilized in OLED panels and should make them increasingly impervious to burn-in issues.
MicroLED displays have a significant number of similar preferences that OLED displays have over LCDs, including improved shading exactness, improved complexity proportion, quicker reaction times, and genuine blacks – given both have self-lit pixels. So far we haven’t really seen a mass adoption of the technology, but hopefully things are going to change soon.
