While Sony and Samsung have already unveiled their display modules that are similar to Microsoft's technology, the pricing there made is almost negligible, given that they cost more than $ 50,000 per square meter, which far exceeds the average $ 500 per square foot of current 4K LCD panels, and even $ 3,000 per OLED display meter.
The new manufacturing process will make Micro LED technology cheaper
Fortunately, they have now discovered a new manufacturing method for Micro LED panels, which combine to integrate CMOS circles into Micro LED chips themselves. This, as they have been able to show you, it greatly increases the rate of return production plants and significantly reduces their costs. In addition, this process reduces the difficulty of introducing small LED chips into improperly manufactured molds increase production speed.
In addition, the rear panels used by this technology do not have to be TFT-LCD glass, but other materials such as glass, metals or translucent materials can be used, giving these panels a greater operating efficiency and potential points of additional cost.
Since the thickness of the glass bottom layers is limited to production lines, it is difficult to make LCD panels or OLEDs over 120 inches. By comparison, Micro LED modules can be filmed by creating screens of 110, 220, 440 … or basically for inches required (Think, for example, movie screens made with this technology, since this is something that may happen in the future). For this reason, the development of this technology is very interesting to the industry and it is several companies, in addition to Sony and Samsung, who are investing because they love it.
When are we going to see it on consumer game monitors?
Industry analysts are very optimistic. Although they did not provide concrete figures as to what this new production method is generating, they have stated that they expect its use to be increased by 2024, and if today the standard LED panels, then they will be Micro LEDs. This means we have no time left to begin to see Game guards They use this panel technology, although it is true that at the moment its price is still too high and not suitable for regular users.
The fact is, it seems, the industry is now keeping up with this technology and they intend to see it become relevant in less than four years. We'll have to see how the prices of production appear to know that the first consumer products will come at a price, of course.
