micro-LED
Microscale light source
Micro-LED is a display technology using microscopic light-emitting diodes as individual pixels.
Each tiny LED produces its own light, eliminating the need for a backlight.
The technology promises brighter screens, deeper blacks, and lower power consumption than LCD or OLED displays, though manufacturing challenges have limited widespread adoption: The new smartwatch uses a micro-LED display.
