Understanding the Challenges Facing Micro-LED TVs in Competing with Mini-LED and Projectors, and Their Ongoing Issues with OLED Technology

Micro-LED technology has been heralded as a revolutionary advancement in TV technology, offering superior brightness, durability, and precise pixel-level contrast similar to OLED screens. However, despite its initial introduction several years ago, micro-LED TVs have yet to gain traction in the mainstream market, largely due to their exorbitant costs and the limitations in size, primarily available in large formats above 100 inches. Dr. Liu Xianrong from Hisense explains that the complexity and high production costs inherent in creating micro-LED panels—where each pixel consists of three sub-pixels (red, green, and blue) sourced from different manufacturers—hinder widespread adoption. Additionally, unlike competing technologies like mini-LED and laser TVs, which allow for independent adjustment of brightness and color, micro-LED’s integrated design complicates performance tuning, further driving up development costs. Consequently, while micro-LED remains a promising technology, it may take five to ten years before it becomes a common option in households.
