Near the beginning, we have:
> Micro LED TVs are currently available for purchase, but they cost six figures, making them unattainable for the vast majority of people.
Then later:
> Despite enthusiasm from technologists and the display community, the mainstream infatuation with OLED makes it harder for Micro LED to move into consumer products.
If the first statement is true, then the second statement is nonsense.
OLED is already confused with QLED (not to be confused with QD-OLED), not to mentioned QNED, and MiniLED adds to the trouble for MicroLED. People have finally started recognizing that OLED is what they're looking for and now we need to start the process all over.
Before MicroLED becomes a product, it needs a better name. I'm sure marketing will figure that out, though
Non organic LED lol
N also has a history in a few markets of being the “best” one or the fastest, high end, juiced up one. If its all OLED now, join em, then stand above. Most people dont even know what OLED stands for.
So long as they don’t pull a lazy birdbrained ripoff of Apple’s stupid ProProMaxUltra bullshit. ProLED. LED Ultra Max Pro.
By borrowing the term from graphic rendering that describes abstract platonic idealizations, it perfectly captures the meaning of “the holy grail of each pixel being an ideal self-contained light emitter”.
Engineers in general often seem overly fixated on naming things to describe “what the thing is made of” instead of “what the thing does”.
