With the increasing improvement of process and equipment accuracy of major packaging plants, the chip size of Mini LED applications has gradually evolved from 5x9mil to today's 3x5mil, even smaller. The reduction of chip size means that more LED chips can be arranged in the same unit area of display  or backlight unit, and higher requirements are put forward for chip mounting. At the same time, higher requirements are put forward for chip mounting.   First of all, the most significant change is that the pad size of the PCB becomes smaller, and the correspondin...

Unless something changes, March 2023 will spell trouble for the emerging 8K industry with the 8K EU Regulatory Ruling. That’s when new EU power consumption regulations are set to go into effect. The power consumption limits on 8K TVs (and microLED-based displays) are set so low that essentially none of these devices will pass. It not only means a failing grade but a requirement that these devices cannot be sold in the EU. That will have a very chilling effect on all players working to develop the 8K ecosystem, including consumers whose access to devices...

In colloquial English, “Seeing Red” is a bad thing. But when it comes to display quality in electronics, it can mean quite the opposite. As we cross the 10th year of the PFS phosphor’s entry into the display market, it’s interesting to look back and see how far the industry has come. In contrast to typical broad-band phosphors such as red nitride that were on the market decades ago, PFS is a narrow-band red phosphor that enables wide color gamut without sacrificing brightness in display technology. This results in more true-to-life color, and a more imme...
