Samsung Unveils Modular MicroLED Technology at CES
Samsung Electronics introduced its latest innovations in modular MicroLED display technology during its annual First Look CES event at the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
The new MicroLED technology designs featured at the event included: a new 75” display, a 219” The Wall as well as other various sizes, shapes and configurations for a next-generation modular MicroLED display.
Featuring self-emissive technology and modular capabilities, Samsung’s MicroLED displays promise to deliver unparalleled picture quality, versatility and design. These transformative TV displays are made up of individual modules of self-emissive MicroLEDs, featuring millions of inorganic red, green and blue microscopic LED chips that emit their own light to produce colors on screen.
At last year’s CES, Samsung introduced MicroLED by unveiling The Wall, the 146” MicroLED display. Due to the technical advancements in the ultra-fine pitch semiconductor packaging process that narrow the gap between the microscopic LED chips, Samsung has been able to create a 4K MicroLED display in a smaller, more home-friendly 75” form factor.
Thanks to the modular nature of MicroLED, this technology offers flexibility in screen size that allows users to customize it to fit any room or space. By adding MicroLED modules, users can expand their display to any size they desire. The modular functionality of MicroLED will allow users in the future to create display even at irregular 9x3, 1x7 or 5x1 screen sizes.
Samsung’s MicroLED technology also optimizes the content no matter the size and shape of the screen. Even when adding more modules, Samsung MicroLED displays can scale to increase the resolution — all while keeping the pixel density constant. Additionally, MicroLED can support everything from the standard 16:9 content, to 21:9 widescreen films, to unconventional aspect ratios like 32:9, or even 1:1 – without having to make any compromises in its picture quality.
Finally, because MicroLED displays are bezel-free, there are no borders between modules – even when you add more. The result is a seamless infinity pool effect that allows the display to blend into any living environment. The possibilities for eye-catching designs are enhanced by new Ambient Mode features.
