Mini-LED technology – the future of display technology
What is Mini-LED?
Mini-LED stands for a new type of backlight in which many small LED chips are densely distributed across the backlight board instead of a common backlight level. Each of these LED chips supports local dimming, resulting in higher contrast, higher brightness and a wider color gamut with lower power consumption.
Comparison with other technologies
This table shows the advantages of Mini-LED technology compared to conventional LED and OLED technology:
| Conventional LED | Mini-LED | OLED | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contrast | 800-1.000:1 | 10.000:1 | 10.000+:1 |
| Brightness (nits) | >1000 | >1500 | >500 |
| Life time | Long | Long | Shot |
| Power consumption | High | Low | Medium |
| Burn-in of images | No | No | Yes |
It is clear from this table that Mini-LED displays are a superior choice for many applications. They not only offer better optical properties, but also a longer service life and lower energy consumption compared to conventional LEDs and OLEDs.
Mini-LED in practice: The new 15.6-inch display from Ampire
An outstanding example of the advantages of Mini-LED technology is the new 15.6 inch display from the well-known manufacturer Ampire. This display impresses with the following features:
- Screen diagonal: 15.6 inch
- Technology: IPS with wide viewing angle
- Interface: LVDS
- Brightness: 1500 nits
- Lifespan: 50,000 hours
- Local dimming range: 576
- Contrast: 10,000:1
The display has a COB (Chip-on-Board) structure, which makes it thinner than comparable POB (Package-on-Board) structures and offers better color performance (NTSC 110%). These features make the display particularly attractive for professional applications where excellent image quality and reliability are essential.
Areas of application for Mini-LED technology
The versatility and performance of Mini-LED technology enables it to be used in a wide range of areas:
- Medical (e.g. operating room): In the medical field, especially in operating theaters, precise and reliable image displays are essential. Mini-LED displays provide the necessary image quality and accuracy to support medical professionals in their demanding tasks.
- Farming: In agriculture, Mini-LED displays are used to monitor environmental data and control agricultural equipment. The high brightness and wide color gamut enable clear visibility of information even in direct sunlight.
- EV Charging: In charging stations for electric vehicles, Mini-LED displays provide a clear and easy-to-read display of charging information, even in difficult lighting conditions.
- Tablet: In tablets, Mini-LEDs offer excellent image quality with high contrast and richer colors, which significantly improves the user experience for multimedia applications and games.
- Marine: In marine applications, Mini-LED displays are ideal for navigation systems and other maritime applications as they offer high brightness and reliability in extreme weather conditions.
With these diverse areas of application, Mini-LED technology demonstrates its enormous potential to benefit a wide range of industries with its outstanding properties.
