Samsung RGB microLED smart TV uses microLED backlight to lower prices

[Redaktion]

Samsung wants to offer the benefits of microLEDs at lower prices by using the tiny light-emitting diodes not as individual subpixels, but as a backlight for a traditional LCD panel. The South Korean manufacturer claims that this results in an excellent picture quality.

I'll pay that. Sounds like an excellent move, but price will be the determiner of how well it succeeds. Already most mini-led monitors are too expensive compared to OLED and Sony's flagship TV is mini-led not OLED. For TV's burn-in with OLED is not a huge deal, so I would take OLED any day unless this new tech is a cheaper and gives the best of both worlds. Hard to see though how micro-led backlighting will not be much dearer than mini-led with far more zones and the fact micro-led require lithography to manufacture unlike mini-led.
