Exploring future display technologies
Daniel Burke, marketing manager at Review Display Systems, investigates and discusses new and developing display technologies

n our digitally connected world, display technologies play a crucial role in various aspects of our lives, from entertainment and communication to business and education. As consumer demand for energy efficiency, higher resolution, and integrated features continues, display technology is constantly developing to find new, innovative solutions to meet these needs.
Micro LED
Micro LED (light-emitting diode) technology has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its potential to revolutionise

the display market. Micro LEDs are tiny, individual light-emitting diodes that are smaller than traditional LEDs, enabling high pixel densities and improved image quality. Micro LED displays use inorganic materials, resulting in a longer lifespan and enhanced reliability when compared with OLED (organic light-emitting diode) displays.
One of the key advantages of Micro LED technology is its ability to achieve high brightness and contrast ratios, making it suitable for applications such as large- scale displays, outdoor signage, and virtual reality headsets. Additionally, Micro LED

displays offer superior energy efficiency compared to conventional LCDs (liquid crystal displays), as they do not require a backlight and can achieve deeper blacks and enhanced colour accuracy. While Micro LED technology provides great expectation, widespread adoption has been limited by challenges such as manufacturing complexity, high production costs, and scalability issues. Ongoing research and development efforts by industry technology leaders are enabling improvements in production techniques and cost reductions, potentially allowing greater commercialisation in the future.
Memory in Pixel
Memory in Pixel (MIP) technology represents another significant display industry innovation. MIP displays integrate memory cells directly into individual pixels, enabling each pixel to retain its display state without constant application of power. This approach can eliminate the need for constant updates of the display, resulting in a more power- efficient display.
One of the key benefits of MIP technology is its ultra-low power consumption, making it ideal for applications such as wearables, instrumentation, and battery-powered devices. By retaining image data without
