Nano LED mini LED Billy Jean there's a
veritable plethora of display types out there with names just like those at
least some of them unfortunately there's a new one to keep track of called micro
OLED not to be confused with micro LED and it's been stealing headlines
recently because it's the technology featured in Apple's new Vision Pro VR
headset that's not what they would call it but they're not here right now the
main difference between micro OLED and the traditional OLED that might be
powering your TV is that as the name suggests the micro OLED pixels are much
smaller think iMac versus iPod Shuffle
apple is promising Beyond 4K resolution
for each eye in its new headset and considering most full-sized OLED TVs are
a lower resolution you need some serious pixel density microalid pulls this off
by using silicon Wafers as a substrate as opposed to the glass substrate found
in your typical OLED TV that's because silicon has special chemical properties
that allow for smaller pixels one of the most important being that electrons move
more quickly and easily through it in fact apple is saying that the space that
one pixel takes up on the iPhone fits 64
pixels on a micro OLED display of course OLED has long been notorious for being
dimmer than other display Technologies despite its sometimes jaw-dropping
levels of contrast but the current word on the street in the display industry is
that apple is using Sony micro OLED displays that feature two white OLED
layers the light from these white oleds are passed through micro lenses to focus
it and make it brighter you didn't hear it from me
these Innovations mean that micro OLED will probably show up in millions of
individual devices over the next few years but despite these advancements
there are some good reasons to think micro OLED won't be the next big thing
in display Tech you'll get to experience at home and we'll tell you why right

very small displays when it comes to larger panels it unfortunately
originally has some glaring weaknesses while you might expect that a display
Tech designed with VR headsets in mind would deliver the highest quality
possible micro OLED is actually less efficient than a typical OLED display
you'd find in a smartphone you see micro oleds work using white light that gets
sent through a color filter to form the images that you see instead of the
traditional OLED smartphone method of just having RGB LEDs that don't require
a filter at all which means that regular oleds get brighter for the same energy
consumption so you don't need as much power to reach the same color gamut as
higher brightness means a larger number of colors can be produced and while
Samsung is working on a form of micro OLED that should be much more energy
efficient because it uses red blue and green pixels that light up directly
without needing a white backlight that piece of tech needs a bit more time in
the old slow cooker before it's ready for prime time but what if we're not
worried about power efficiency because we want to make a micro OLED TV that
plugs into the wall for example well micro OLED still doesn't make that much
sense for larger displays and a big reason is that current silicon Wafers
max out around 12 inches in diameter meaning to make a display bigger than
that you'd have to attach multiple Wafers together and if you think
assembling Ikea furniture is a bit laborious just try to win this okay
but even if you could easily do this because you want to take advantage of
micro OLED's greater pixel density and make TVs that offer higher resolutions
you'll soon run into the problem of diminishing returns in terms of how many
pixels you need to make a TV appear lifelike you only need to be sitting a
little over four feet away from a 65 inch 4K TV powered by traditional oleds
for your eyes to be unable to discern individual pixels meaning a micro OLED
screen in such a large format wouldn't really offer many advantages now throw
in the fact that micro OLED is going to be at a price premium for years to come
due to its limited applications and I would pretty much only expect to see it
in devices like the aforementioned VR headset or other limited use cases such
as camera viewfinders or heads-up displays for the military but if you are
in the market for a headset micro OLED should deliver an experience Beyond
current LCD Tech just be prepared to pay the Apple tax that I'm sure all of you
are used to by now oh my gosh it's over wow thanks for watching watching like
