Micro-LED (Micro Light-Emitting Diode)
A display technology using arrays of inorganic LED emitters tens of micrometres or smaller as individual self-emissive pixels. It promises the contrast of OLED with much higher brightness and better lifetime, but mass transfer of millions of dice is the obstacle.
