Screen displays now come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. From giant advertising screens on the road, to televisions, smart devices, and now virtual reality hardware, digital screen displays are being harnessed in a wide variety of ways.
Recently, Jade Bird Display (JBD) has announced that they have succeeded in developing a red MicroLED component that has a brightness value as high as one million nits. This is a breakthrough especially since this red MicroLED is one of the most difficult components to miniaturize.
MicroLED is a type of display that is commonly used for smaller electronic devices, and recently, is very popular for use with virtual reality and augmented reality devices.
The main weakness of MicroLED is shown in the red MicroLED, which is different from the blue and green components made of indium gallium nitride (InGaN), the red MicroLED is made of indium gallium phosphide (InGaP) material.
Downsizing LED components will also typically reduce component efficiency, and for red MicroLEDs, in particular, that efficiency drops to single-digit percentage levels when developed at high brightness values.
With this, it is seen that the red MicroLED has reached equality with the blue and green MicroLED, where it can now be used for applications that require high brightness values, such as in virtual reality devices and healing.
This also means that MicroLED displays with higher brightness values can also be displayed more widely.
