With the maturity of hardware and video technology, AR / VR commercialization has begun to accelerate the pace. According to the US market adjustment agency IDC data show that this year's VR industry is still maintained a rapid growth in 2020 is expected to ship 30 million units. In the country, AR / VR technology is also applied to more and more areas, AR / VR market is gradually expanding.
01. Demand
As we all know, the panel is an important carrier of AR / VR technology. In the AR / VR technology continues to develop the moment, its requirements on the carrier will inevitably produce new changes. At present, AR / VR equipped with LED or ordinary OLED display volume is more or less too much too heavy, and for AR / VR this can wear equipment, the pursuit of the panel is certainly lighter and thinner Better performance.
At present, AR / VR market gradually expanded, the requirements for the panel is also getting higher and higher, the old LCD display and OLED display has been unable to keep up with the increasingly high market demand. With this growing demand, manufacturers will find new screen display technology to replace the existing LCD or OLED display, and this new technology Micro-LED.
02. Advantages
Micro-LED is easy to achieve high PPI (pixel density), small size, easy to carry, low power consumption, etc., in addition to OLED self-luminous, thin, light weight, large viewing angle, short response time, high luminous efficiency , Especially suitable for use in helmet displays, stereoscopic display glasses and glasses, such as display AR / VR display device.
03. Risk
As a new display technology, Micro-LED will certainly face the market and technical risks. As most of the AR / VR terminal consumer products are based on LCD or OLED display design, and Micro-LED also need to AR / VR terminal consumer product design to match the final consumer is able to accept Micro-LED, also Need to be considered according to the actual situation.
In the production, Micro-LED production process will have a lot of its yield rate impact. How to ensure a reasonable production cost Micro-LED to maintain a high yield, so that it can achieve the level of mass production, but also related to the continuous improvement of technology. If the Micro-LED on the AR / VR equipment on the successful application and the ability to mass production, not only will have a huge new business opportunities, and will further promote the AR / VR market expansion. People's entertainment, work and even the way of life will be with the popularity of AR / VR technology has undergone tremendous changes.
04. Market
In addition to VR / AR, Micro LED another great potential market is the smart phone. LEDinside said that the development of intelligent mobile phone market, high-end models are usually able to show high-quality images of the latest display technology to do selling points, when Micro LED technology once in the smart phone to achieve commercialization, Fast penetration to the high-end smart phone market.
