What They Say
BOE held a webinar to set out its plans for miniLED backlights. The firm explained the technology and emphasised the advantages, including power saving in typical and ‘dark screen’ displays. It also highlighted that its glass-based active matrix technology has advantages over board-based solutions. The firm said that while a 34″ display might need 6 PCBs, it could be supported with a single glass substrate, which reduces mura and allows single side cabling.
What We Think
We heard rumours that the webinar had happened and reached out to contacts to get a copy of the pdf. The power saving advantages of miniLED will be the same as those such as OLEDs that turn off unused pixels, I dug into this a lot at one time and created a white paper on the topic for Panasonic that was struggling with the back label power consumption of PDPs vis LCDs. Larry Weber did a lot of work on this topic and was very helpful. Eventually, standard content to measure power consumption was developed although TV companies gamed the system by detecting the standard content. I really ought to dig into this again as I’m not sure I have seen any work done on creating test content for HDR applications.
BOE sent us details of its solutions for different applications. If you’d like details, contact me. (BR)
