Market Challenges

• The display market is currently dominated by technologies such as Plasma, TFT-LCD, LCD with LED backlight, and OLED. These display systems have been mass-produced for an extended period, leading to production efficiency and minimal defects. Their lower production costs result in affordable end products for consumers. In contrast, MicroLED displays face challenges due to their high production costs and limited capacity. Manufacturers encounter production issues, and the global MicroLED market lacks an established supply chain. Transitioning from existing display technologies like LCD and OLED to MicroLED requires substantial investments in production facilities and research and development. As a result, the widespread adoption of MicroLED displays is currently hindered by the market penetration of these more established display technologies.
• The Micro Light-Emitting Diode (LED) market faces several challenges. In the display industry, competition from Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) poses a significant threat due to their superior color saturation and UHD picture quality. In outdoor lighting, large panel sizes and high power consumption are major hurdles. For PC and laptops, rapid response times and reaction times are crucial, but recessed lamps and refrigerated case lighting require long service life and wide color range. The ongoing Russian-Ukraine war impacts the supply chain, increasing costs. Power consumption is a concern in smart wearables like smartwatches, while sports arenas demand high wavelength uniformity and wide color range. Technoeconomic analysis is essential to balance initial significant costs against long-term energy savings. Under-cabinet lighting and urban population growth offer opportunities, but challenges remain in virtual production stages and virtual reality technology.
