With the rapid development of display technology, Mini LED is leading the pace of industry innovation as a new display technology. This technology, which has attracted attention for its outstanding performance advantages, is rapidly gaining popularity and driving the rise of China's display industry.
A leap in the number of partitions and brightness
The biggest highlight of Mini LED technology is its high partition count and ultra-high brightness. While traditional backlights only have a few hundred LED beads, Mini LED increases the number of lamp beads to thousands or even tens of thousands, thus achieving fine zoning and light control. Take TCL's latest Q10K TV as an example,The 65-inch version has a high number of backlight partitions1512,75Inch reaches2160,98Inch has 2592 partitions。
A significant increase in the number of partitions means a richer level of detail, higher contrast, and sharper shadow detail. The Q10K series also has a breakthrough in brightness, reaching up to 3,800 nits, which is 800 nits higher than the previous generation and far more than competing products in the same price range.
A new take on the art of color
In addition to zoning and brightness, color reproduction is also a major advantage of Mini LED technology. The Q10K uses the latest Quantum Dot Pro 2024 display technology, which can achieve 98% color gamut coverage under the DCI-P3 wide color gamut standard and up to 95% full-screen color purity.
This means that whether it's a movie, a game, or everyday use, colors can be vividly restored and brought to life. Especially in some high-saturation color scenes, the advantages of Mini LED will be more obvious, making the audience feel as if they are in the picture.
The ultimate solution for halo control
Halo has always been a stubborn problem that plagues Mini LED technology, but TCL has finally found a cure with the Q10K series. They have adopted six cutting-edge technologies, including six-crystal square core II, super-concentrating micro-lens, transient response, bidirectional 16-bit, macro OD and HVA wide-angle low-reflection screen, to fundamentally solve the halo problem.
As a luminous light source, the luminous area of hexacrystal square core II is 6 times that of ordinary wicks; The super-concentrating microlens can achieve a 22.5% improvement in backlight uniformity and 60% improvement in halo control, and the optical stability is also improved by 8 times. Transient response and bidirectional 16-bit algorithms make the picture more responsive and detailed.
With these innovative technologies, the Q10K series can finally present the audience with the ultimate picture without halo and clear layers, so that the advantages of Mini LED technology can be perfectly reflected.
The comprehensive layout of the industrial chain
In addition to the innovation of terminal products, Chinese companies have also made great progress in the layout of the Mini LED industry chain. Whether it is upstream chip manufacturing, midstream packaging modules, or downstream machine applications, domestic enterprises have initially completed the coverage of the whole industry chain.
Taking chip manufacturing as an example, leading companies such as San'an Optoelectronics, HC Semitek, and Qianzhao Optoelectronics have realized the mass production of Mini LED chips and began to supply brands such as Apple and Samsung. In the packaging module link, Mulinsen, Ruifeng Optoelectronics, Guoxing Optoelectronics and other enterprises have also had the ability of Mini LED packaging.
The completeness of the industrial chain has won a first-mover advantage for Chinese enterprises, and is expected to occupy a dominant position in the future competition and achieve corner overtaking. The technological innovation of domestic enterprises will also inject more impetus into Mini LED and promote the continuous evolution of this technology.
The market has broad prospects
With outstanding performance and the advantages of the domestic industrial chain, Mini LED technology has stood on a new outlet. According to forecasts, Mini LED TV shipments will reach 4.05 million units in 2023 and exceed 24 million units by 2027, accounting for 12.1% of the overall TV market.
In addition to the TV field, Mini LED technology will also accelerate the penetration of automobiles, mobile phones, wearables and other fields. Its ultra-high brightness, excellent contrast, and energy-saving and environmentally friendly characteristics will surely bring a new experience to all kinds of smart terminals.
