LED displays are surely the future of television. Even today, many companies are spending massive amounts to enhance their present LED technology.
LED-backlit TVs greatly differ from the usual LCD TVs. These improvements consist of the following:
• They are capable of producing a brighter image with deeper blacks and offer a greater contrast compared to LCD TVs
• With edge-LED lighting, LED TVs can be extremely slim and the present available models on the market are just one inch thick
• LED TVs also consume less power compared to LCD TVs. They help to save around 40% energy
• When RGB-LED backlighting is used, the LED TVs can offer a wider colour range
A team of international researchers has developed a newer process to produce small, ultrathin inorganic LEDs (light-emitting diodes) that last longer and shine brighter than conventional LEDs. The stretchable micro-LED display comprises interconnected mesh for printing micro LEDs that are bonded with rubber substrate.
Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois, John Rogers, said that their goal is to combine a few benefits of inorganic LED technology along with scalability, resolution of organic LEDs and ease of processing.
If newer LED TVs were to arrive, it leaves us with a new question – whether these new TVs will demand newer accessories or whether they can be mounted on regular TV brackets?
