Samsung is considering making large investments in microLED panel production in the first half of next year, according to industry insiders cited by ETNews. Component suppliers are reportedly waiting for Samsung’s final decision regarding the production size of microLED panels, which may come shortly after CES 2020.
For those who aren’t sure what this is about, microLED is a new kind of screen technology which Samsung initially showed off nearly a couple of decades back at CES 2018 as it introduced”The Wall”. The most important benefit of a microLED screen is that every individual pixel consists of genuine light-emitting diodes. Other benefits are much better viewing angles, brighter screens, and greater contrast.

Some industry watchers are positive that Samsung will push microLED into mass production next year, as the company has reportedly improved its expertise on this emerging display technology to the point where it would be possible to mass-produce plenty of microLED panels to meet the relatively high demand.
CES 2020 is right around the corner and we are eager to hear about the upcoming technological progress in display production. MicroLED appears to be the upcoming big thing following OLED, but it remains to be observed when we will see these displays on bulk consumer products such as TVs and eventually tablets, as well as whether Samsung will be the champion for these products or not.
