Another new concept fire, LED industry can take advantage of the trend to explode again?
Oct 15, 2021
The concept of "meta-universe" resonates with the frequency of the times, stirring up the technology and capital circles, and breaking the circle has become one of the hottest elements of the moment, with tech giants such as Microsoft, Facebook, Tencent, and ByteDance swooning over it.
Origin of the concept
According to the network explanation, Metaverse (Metaverse), born from the science fiction novel Snow Crash published by Neal Stephenson in 1992, and depicted as a parallel universe in which the real world is projected through the Internet and other technological means, can be cross-defined from the four aspects of spatio-temporal, authenticity, independence and connectivity.
In March this year, Roblox, known as the "first meta-universe stock", was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and its stock price soared 54% on the first day. The eight key features of the meta-universe (identity, friends, immersion, low-latency, diversity, anytime, anywhere, economic system, and civilization) were written into the prospectus, and each element was explained in detail, which was very sci-fi. element is explained in detail, very sci-fi, with its own call to action, capital, Internet giants, and social media have followed suit.
the meta-universe is not a reality, but a reality
From this point of view, meta-universe is not a newborn concept, but a synonym for the convergence of scientific and technological innovation and qualitative change in various fields at present. Meta-universe is still in the early stage of development and there is no perfect definition. However, Roblox's "eight key features" of meta-universe have been recognized by many.
With the rapid development of science and technology such as 5G/6G communication, artificial intelligence AI, big data, e-sports, interaction, Internet of Things, etc., the construction of a new era of holographic digital world is imminent, and the investment community believes that meta-universe may become a new frontier of digital world and industrial chain innovation. How to coupling the physical world with the imaginary world, LED technology is the portal of virtual and reality.
The future is promising
At present, LCD, OLED, Mini/Micro LED three major mainstream display technologies in the display field with different points of emphasis, and Mini/Micro LED is the most expected in the future high-end LED market dominant players.
Compared with the traditional backlight LCD, Mini LED particles are smaller, with a size of only 100μm, what is the concept? The diameter of a hair strand is only about 50μm. Screen technology is composed of countless tiny pitch lamp bead arrangement, the smaller the lamp bead pitch, the more for high partition LCD backlighting to show more excellent fine dynamic effects, can efficiently enhance the screen brightness and contrast.
Mini LED as Micro LED market transition backlight technology, with energy saving, thin and light, wide color gamut, high contrast, high fine dynamic zoning advantages, Huawei, Apple, Samsung also released one after another equipped with Mini LED backlight technology display products.
Recently, Apple determined the time of the second online fall conference this year, and released a warm-up poster on its official website: "See you at 1:00 a.m. Beijing time on October 19th for Apple's special event", and it's worth noting that the new MacBook Pro at the conference will be equipped with Mini LED technology --Mini LED display + 120Hz king bomb debut.
The future carries Mini LED display technology backlighting applications will blossom, not only in terms of monitors, computer equipment, etc., Mini/Micro LED backlighting display technology is also one of the most important carriers in the field of gaming, VR, AR, holographic projection and other areas of the combination of the real and the virtual, to enhance the sense of immersion for the user. Meta-universe as an emerging concept, bring shock at the same time, it is more important to promote scientific and technological innovation, so that the development of technology to keep pace with the pace of scientific and technological imagination in order to match the magnificent "meta" pattern.
