00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.660
Nano LED mini LED Billy Jean there's a

00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:09.960
veritable plethora of display types out there with names just like those at

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:14.700
least some of them unfortunately there's a new one to keep track of called micro

00:00:11.940 --> 00:00:18.539
OLED not to be confused with micro LED and it's been stealing headlines

00:00:16.619 --> 00:00:23.039
recently because it's the technology featured in Apple's new Vision Pro VR

00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:26.699
headset that's not what they would call it but they're not here right now the

00:00:24.779 --> 00:00:30.000
main difference between micro OLED and the traditional OLED that might be

00:00:28.019 --> 00:00:37.020
powering your TV is that as the name suggests the micro OLED pixels are much

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:40.020
smaller think iMac versus iPod Shuffle

00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:42.840
apple is promising Beyond 4K resolution

00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:47.820
for each eye in its new headset and considering most full-sized OLED TVs are

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:52.739
a lower resolution you need some serious pixel density microalid pulls this off

00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:56.820
by using silicon Wafers as a substrate as opposed to the glass substrate found

00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:01.559
in your typical OLED TV that's because silicon has special chemical properties

00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:06.299
that allow for smaller pixels one of the most important being that electrons move

00:01:03.660 --> 00:01:11.460
more quickly and easily through it in fact apple is saying that the space that

00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:14.040
one pixel takes up on the iPhone fits 64

00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:18.000
pixels on a micro OLED display of course OLED has long been notorious for being

00:01:16.260 --> 00:01:22.140
dimmer than other display Technologies despite its sometimes jaw-dropping

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:27.000
levels of contrast but the current word on the street in the display industry is

00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:32.400
that apple is using Sony micro OLED displays that feature two white OLED

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:36.420
layers the light from these white oleds are passed through micro lenses to focus

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:41.939
it and make it brighter you didn't hear it from me

00:01:39.659 --> 00:01:45.659
these Innovations mean that micro OLED will probably show up in millions of

00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:49.680
individual devices over the next few years but despite these advancements

00:01:47.939 --> 00:01:53.759
there are some good reasons to think micro OLED won't be the next big thing

00:01:52.140 --> 00:01:57.060
in display Tech you'll get to experience at home and we'll tell you why right

00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:01.380
after we thank the sponsor of this video delete me delete me is a solution for

00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:05.820
the very modern problem of personal information being easily shared online

00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:09.119
without its owner's consent a simple Google search will find hundreds of

00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:13.800
online profiles sharing your personal information which can lead to annoying

00:02:11.220 --> 00:02:17.220
Robo calls and scam emails delete me software and team of experts can remove

00:02:15.660 --> 00:02:20.640
this information in just minutes compared to the hours it would take to

00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:25.020
do it manually on average delete me removes over 2 000 pieces of data for a

00:02:23.160 --> 00:02:27.599
customer in their first two years so if you want to get your personal info

00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:33.480
removed from search results on the web go to join deleteme.com techwiki and use

00:02:30.540 --> 00:02:38.040
code techwiki for 20 off while micro OLED has big advantages when used for

00:02:35.819 --> 00:02:41.700
very small displays when it comes to larger panels it unfortunately

00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:45.540
originally has some glaring weaknesses while you might expect that a display

00:02:43.379 --> 00:02:49.560
Tech designed with VR headsets in mind would deliver the highest quality

00:02:47.220 --> 00:02:53.160
possible micro OLED is actually less efficient than a typical OLED display

00:02:51.239 --> 00:02:57.360
you'd find in a smartphone you see micro oleds work using white light that gets

00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:01.379
sent through a color filter to form the images that you see instead of the

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:06.120
traditional OLED smartphone method of just having RGB LEDs that don't require

00:03:03.660 --> 00:03:10.319
a filter at all which means that regular oleds get brighter for the same energy

00:03:08.459 --> 00:03:14.580
consumption so you don't need as much power to reach the same color gamut as

00:03:12.780 --> 00:03:18.120
higher brightness means a larger number of colors can be produced and while

00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:22.680
Samsung is working on a form of micro OLED that should be much more energy

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:26.580
efficient because it uses red blue and green pixels that light up directly

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:30.120
without needing a white backlight that piece of tech needs a bit more time in

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:33.120
the old slow cooker before it's ready for prime time but what if we're not

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:37.319
worried about power efficiency because we want to make a micro OLED TV that

00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:41.459
plugs into the wall for example well micro OLED still doesn't make that much

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:46.260
sense for larger displays and a big reason is that current silicon Wafers

00:03:43.739 --> 00:03:50.040
max out around 12 inches in diameter meaning to make a display bigger than

00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:53.159
that you'd have to attach multiple Wafers together and if you think

00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:59.040
assembling Ikea furniture is a bit laborious just try to win this okay

00:03:56.360 --> 00:04:02.640
but even if you could easily do this because you want to take advantage of

00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:06.360
micro OLED's greater pixel density and make TVs that offer higher resolutions

00:04:04.440 --> 00:04:10.980
you'll soon run into the problem of diminishing returns in terms of how many

00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:15.420
pixels you need to make a TV appear lifelike you only need to be sitting a

00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:20.459
little over four feet away from a 65 inch 4K TV powered by traditional oleds

00:04:18.299 --> 00:04:25.320
for your eyes to be unable to discern individual pixels meaning a micro OLED

00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:28.800
screen in such a large format wouldn't really offer many advantages now throw

00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:33.300
in the fact that micro OLED is going to be at a price premium for years to come

00:04:30.780 --> 00:04:37.259
due to its limited applications and I would pretty much only expect to see it

00:04:34.979 --> 00:04:41.580
in devices like the aforementioned VR headset or other limited use cases such

00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:45.660
as camera viewfinders or heads-up displays for the military but if you are

00:04:43.500 --> 00:04:50.340
in the market for a headset micro OLED should deliver an experience Beyond

00:04:47.400 --> 00:04:54.960
current LCD Tech just be prepared to pay the Apple tax that I'm sure all of you

00:04:52.259 --> 00:04:59.220
