[@neoqueto]

OLED was just a prequel to microLED. MicroLED is the endgame of display technology. This could even be used for projectors.

[@LeonardTavast]

CMOS microLED will always be too expensive for TVs. There has to be other manufacturing methods to scale the size of the screen beyond the limits of CMOS litography (about 8cm2). If someone figures out to make microLEDs with TFT or similar technologies then we can scale the technology to larger sizes and make it cheaper.

[@ganadaramabasajachakatapaha]

hmm may next is nanoLED display lol

[@MrSec84]

@Dreamstate non-organic OLED doesn't make sense since OLED means Organic Light Emitting Diodes. Standard LEDs, like in LED TV backlights aren't organic, but they are way too big to be used as the self emissive pixel creation method. Micro inorganic (not organic) LEDs are what you mean, it's possible given what these guys have made to make a panel using that, but it's still a long way out. What's closer is tech like Hisense's ULED XD, which uses full array local dimming, with over 100 Zones of dimmable LEDs, then they use two LCD panels, with one of those blocking any unwanted blooming at the pixel level. Basically two 4K panels are precision placed on top of each other at the pixel level and a clever algorithm will do the magic of approximating the kind of per-pixel dimming capabilities of OLED, but it's a lot more complicated to implement. Costs will apparently be better than OLED. Hopefully Hisense can do this for 2020 product launches.

[@TCBYEAHCUZ]

​@@David-2501 There's two different fields in micro led display tech, there's traditional micro led and monolithic micro led, the first one makes them just like OLED technology which is used for scaling it on TV displays and Mobile phones, it is very costly to miniaturize this to make it tiny. Monolithic micro led is the opposite, it is the same as making CPU's or Ram memory, so it is cheaper to keep it smaller. It isn't meant to be looked at directly, rather, an advanced optical system is to be used to bounce the light around and 'project' it onto a larger display, therefore it is very important to have super high resolution and super high brightness as the optical system will decrease that brightness to usable levels. I am very happy and hopeful that BOTH approaches reach mass market. Finally we will have TV/monitor/phone screen displays that perform similar to OLED but don't have any of the downsides like burn in. And We will also be able to have amazing VR headsets that don't require flat panel displays in front of the face, but we could in the future have simple sunglasses type apparatus that uses an advanced optic system to redirect super high res, high FOV, high refresh rate onto the glass substrate. This would allow VR headsets that weigh almost nothing, are comfortable, and almost look like normal vision of the real world, but you're completely immersed in the VR.

Animarkzero ‍ ‎‎ I’ve seen a couple of his videos. There’s something not quite right about him.

[@senri-]

Would have been nice if you asked if they had any plans on creating bigger displays for applications in smartphones and bigger screens and if they have any idea when we can start seeing them in the market.

[@soylentgreenb]

No, obviously. This is a single silicon chip; like a processor. What you are asking for a phone-sized single chip (4x4 cm is the largest single chip I've ever even heard of) with a resolution a hundred times better than anyone can possibly see.

[@senri-]

@@soylentgreenb you're right its unlikely, but there could be ways of "sticking" multiple ones together? or perhaps work around the defects by binning them? Would have been interesting to hear their view. (btw the largest chip ive heard of is from Cerberus thats 21x21 cm.)

[@soylentgreenb]

@@senri- Have you seen the chip? It is a single wafer with many dies, each of which is much smaller than the reticle limit (~40x40 mm). This is how chips are made on 300 mm diameter wafers, except everyone else scribes the wafer and cuts the dies loose and mounts them as individual chips to a PCB. What they have done is simply placed them closed enough and figure out how to align them well enough to connect the individual dies. Several chips on a die are going to be defective, they just fuse those off. In a display this means you will have a ~30x20 mm (or however large the individual chips are) dead area on the screen in random places. There are also macroscopic, visible holes in the die from the manufacturing process that could fit hundreds of thousands of pixels. Any method to join the individual chips after cutting them with a diamond saw and removing the defective ones (and then you end up with < 40x40 mm dies as I said) requires much more space than the pixel pitch. The diamond saw used is not a very precise instrument; it is this scraggly thing with imprecisely placed diamonds on it that will need to leave a tenth of a milimeter or so margin to the actual chip. 10 000 PPI is 400 pixels per millimeter.

[@aaronm.2790]

The graphics horsepower required to drive the proposed resolution would have to be other worldly.

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

Nvidia already has a gpu for that in a bug server that requires 100 rack's to run 16k at 480hz

[@soylentgreenb]

Not really. Foveated rendering is 100 times compute savings at very high resolutions by only rendering in high resolution what you are directly looking at. You see ~60 pixels per degree at the fovea, 15 PPD a few degrees out and only ~1 pixel per degree in your peripheral vision. High contrast black and white things like a hair on a black background is ~120 pixels per degree (light sensitive rods have higher resolution than colour sensitive cones). Total human vision is more like 1000x1000 pixels per eye. Rendering 120 pixels per degree over a 100x100 degree field of view is 12000 by 12000 pixels. With very good and extremely fast foveated rendering that's more like rendering bog standard 1440p in terms of performance. It is being worked on. It's pretty good already, but not yet perfect. The slower and more inacurate the foveated rendering is, the larger the area is where you need to render full resolution so you cannot accidentally see the low res areas with your fovea, which would look like everything got really blury for a fraction a second. For AR it maybe doesn't even matter. If you're using it as a HUD to e.g. bring up car schematics while you are fixing some part of a car it's just text and lines and not an approximation of realistically lit 3d graphics.

[@longnamedude3947]

Damn, these are seriously impressive, to be honest it's so cool I don't know what to say, can't believe it's a real product.....

[@getsideways7257]

Well, it's still not a real product in the sense that you go and buy one. Let's hope that moment is not too far off.

[@adamsonaquino6211]

cool tech. i hope giant companies like huawei will support this kind of technology and they will develop ar world like from the movie READY PLAYER ONE this will replace smartphone in the future

[@tapakvajra1939]

[@aaron-channel]

maybe a great solution for mirrorless viewfinder too right? reduce delay, increase density = perfect

[@TCBYEAHCUZ]

Full RGB panel is only needed for VR/AR appliances, separate single panels can be used for cheaper projector systems. They're small enough to even fit on normal VR systems, just use a prism to combine the images. Which ever method is more economical will be the right choice.

[@abdulhkeem.alhadhrami]

Lol, he asked if they used quantum dots after they already said no twice.

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

Well the colour on these pixels are already covering the colour palette so why bother Austin dots are complicated to get right these are pure light with no phosphor just clever science to make RGB colours come out pure colour then ramp the colour down to make grass look realistic lol

[@kidderhellcraft6235]

Perfect for vectrex games and less dangerous too.

[@technoxtreme178]

What you didn't know is that these are the guys that made the Matrix

[@ralfsobe5529]

Perhaps there ist a production trick of colored micro-LED-displays. If you have a blue micro-LED-matrix ,and a suitable photopolymerisator-initiator in the colored stereolithography-resin, it can be hardened by the own light of the matrix-lamp. The dark lamps dont create a hardened and colored spot in that resin environment. Resin must be changend, after creating the red pixels, green pixels can be created by contacting with green colored stereolithography resin and switching on the right blue lamps in the micro-led-matrix. It should be a flourescent color, that converts the blue light into red and green if the lamp was coated with that hardened flourescent stereolithography plastic. Removal of the liquid resign uses a solvent like acetone. Flourescent compounds in the stereolithography resin can determine the penetration depth of the blue light, that determines the thickness of the shift, that is created by switching on the blue lamp in that resin. Also the generated green and red light can affect the right photoinitiator, create the right penetration depth of the light field, that makes the resin hardening.

[@jonmayer]

4k Pico protector would probably be a great use as well.

[@mahinp_21]

Can't wait to see this types of screen in phones Would need a great battery but the screen can act as a flashlight and the screen could be so much high resolution!!!!

[@riannair7101]

I just wanna an microled monitor mid budget to be released to market and i,l be happy.

[@getsideways7257]

At least they should come up with that first. Still having to resort to using LCDs this day and age is inexcusable.

[@soylentgreenb]

This is not it. This is made out of a single monolithic slab of silicon like a CPU and it won't get any bigger than ~40x40 mm and even that would have craptastic yields and be almost impossible to make. This is for VR/AR where you look at the screen through optics. It can look like a 100 inch display a few meters away without being physically large. For VR you can't really get the field of view from this small device with known tech, but you might use this for the tiny central vision that needs to be very high resolution and use mirrors for positioning it where you are looking. Large microled screens use tiny individual LEDs that are picked and placed for each pixel. They are working on self-aligning processes to be able to individually place tens of millions of LEDs without having to individually pick and place each one.

[@soseboogs]

Hurry up and make TVs and monitors out of these!!! This tech is worth billions!

[@dco5055]

This isn't for TV's or monitors it's for small applications like augmented reality or virtual reality that would be able to replicate extremely large tv's or monitors in AR or VR. Even if they tried they don't make wafers big enough and the resolution at a normal size monitor would take a super computer to produce that resolution.

A skin to coat radar invisible, and now visible light aircraft. These are bright enough to create cloak displays for the underside of aircraft which effectively makes them invisible. But I'm sure this has already been done.

They don't need to, Light Wave Guides already exist.. which bend the light around the object to the other side. This technology is already coming up to 2 Decades old and is defiantly already being used by Special forces and also for Vehicles.
