Mini LED is a type of screen technology used in TV displays and other devices that uses smaller LED chips to produce the same brightness as larger chips. This miniaturized design allows for finer control of lighting levels, which makes it ideal for use in both home and commercial lighting applications. Mini LED is similar to QLED, but the backlights get even smaller, and these LEDs are so small they can be almost as small as a single pixel. Mini LED is an advancement of existing LCD LED technology rather than something altogether new. Key features of Mini LED include:
-
More LEDs: Mini LED uses many smaller diodes, each one pumping out lots of different colors instead of just one, to make up every subpixel individually. This lets us create images with more vivid colors than ever before.
-
Better contrast: Because there are more LEDs and more dimming zones, Mini LED displays can offer deeper, darker blacks, brighter brights, richer colors, and better contrast because theres more control over whats displayed on the screen with so many LEDs.
-
Power efficiency: LED-backlit LCDs are much more power efficient than the cold cathode fluorescent lighting used for LCD panels in the past, and Mini LED LCDs will have additional power efficiency gains.
Mini LED is a more affordable rival to OLED, and it is being adopted by several TV manufacturers and is the display technology of choice for Appleās iPad Pro. Mini LED is a new and advanced technology that offers noticeably better contrast than QLED or typical LCD, and it may be hard to discern a difference between the contrast on Mini LED and OLED, as the Mini LED diodes can get almost to the pixel level.
