It has been more than two years since Apple released the iPad Pro with a MiniLED backlight. Apple has successfully started the MiniLED trend. MiniLED has been introduced into various applications such as IT, TV, AR/VR and Automotive. However, high cost, lack of standardization and an inefficient supply-chain limit the penetration rate of MiniLED. At the same time, MiniLED is facing strong competition from another emerging display technology - OLED. How to break through the current obstacles has become an urgent issue. This presentation will provide a comprehensive analysis and future development of MiniLED.
