Meta just released its new VR device – Quest Pro on October 12th. The displays of the Quest Pro are embedded with a MiniLED backlight. MiniLED is one of the emerging display technologies and has high potential to compete with other existing or new display technologies. MiniLED does have several unique advantages –such as high brightness, high contrast and lower power consumption that can enhance display performance. MiniLEDs have been already been adopted into AR/VR, wearable, IT, TV, automotive, medical, etc. Currently, the main application of MiniLED is still in backlight of panels. On the other hand, becoming a direct-view display is another direction for MiniLED. Although the cost of MiniLED is high, we believe people will find a way to overcome the cost hurdles to allow MiniLED to become affordable. This speech will summarize the key findings and insights from DSCC's latest report on MiniLEDs.
