Hsinchu Science Park, Hsinchu 300, Taiwan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 22 May 2020; Accepted: 4 June 2020; Published: 8 June 2020 Abstract: Micro-LED (light-emitting diode) is a potentially disruptive display technology, while power consumption is a critical issue for all display devices. In this paper, we develop a physical model to evaluate the power consumption of micro-LED displays under different ambient lighting conditions. Both power efficiency and ambient reflectance are investigated in two types of full color display structures: red/green/blue (RGB) micro-LEDs, and blue-LED pumped quantum dots color-conversion. For each type of display with uniform RGB chip size, our simulation results indicate that there exists an optimal LED chip size, which leads to 30–40% power saving. We then extend our model to analyze different RGB chip sizes, and find that with optimized chip sizes an additional 12% average power saving can be achieved over that with uniform chip size. Keywords: micro-LED display; color-conversion; power consumption; ambient contrast ratio 1. Introduction Micro-LED displays with high peak luminance, true dark state, high resolution, wide color gamut and long lifetime are emerging as next-generation displays [1–4]. Two approaches are commonly used to achieve full color: red/green/blue (RGB) subpixels and blue-LED pumped color-conversion. In the first scheme, RGB micro-LED chips are fabricated from different semiconductor materials, according to their lattice constants and energy band gaps. For examples, red LEDs are typically fabricated by growing AlGaInP epilayers on GaAs substrates, while green and blue LEDs are produced by depositing InGaN epilayers on sapphire substrates. In such a RGB display panel, millions of micro-LED chips are transferred from the corresponding semiconductor wafers to the display substrate through mass transfer processes [5–7]. In the color-conversion scheme, we can use UV or blue LEDs to excite the down-conversion materials, such as quantum dots (QDs) or phosphors [8–11]. These color- conversion materials can be fabricated by inject printing or photolithography [12,13]. These micro- LED displays have found potential applications in ultra-large size and seamlessly tiled video walls [14,15], 75-inch modular TVs, medium-size sunlight readable vehicle displays, smart watches, and high-resolution-density microdisplays [16–21] for augmented reality and virtual reality, just to name a few. In addition to above-mentioned properties, low power consumption is always desirable for micro-LED display to compete with its counterparts such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic LED (OLED) displays [22–24]. Especially for a mobile display, its operating time is governed by the battery capacity. Thus, power consumption is a critical issue for all mobile display devices.

    VARIOUS DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIESS Mr. Virat C. Gandhi1 1Computer Department, C. U. Shah Technical Institute of Diploma Studies Abstract—A lot has been invented from the past till now in regards with the display technologies. It gives an immense life to electronic device when good display technology are being used. Now a days displays are coming in various sizes for different portable devices like smart phones, tablets, smart watch, televisions, laptops etc. People are expecting better display no matter what device they use. In this paper I have given an overview of some of the past technologies to the technologies till now. Flat-panel displays use Liquid-crystal display (LCD) technology to make them much lighter and thinner when compared with a traditional monitor. A liquid crystal display consists of an array of tiny segments (called pixels) that can be manipulated to present information. Plasma panels, also called gas discharge displays, are constructed by filling the region between two glass plates with a mixture of gases that usually include neon. In LED, A matrix of diodes is arranged to form the pixel positions in the display, and picture definition is stored in refresh buffer. OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology relies on the organic materials. Keywords— Display Technology; LCD; LED; Flexible display; Curved display; I. INTRODUCTION In today’s smart world, people are carrying smart devices all over the places they visit. Wherever people are they are surrounded or accompanied by display devices, such as smart phones, tablets, notebooks and advertising screens. Different devices uses different display technologies to enrich devices facilities.

  • Light-Emitting Diode - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A light-emitting diode (LED) (pronounced /ˌɛl iː ˈdiː/[1]) is a semiconductor Light-emitting diode light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices, and are increasingly used for lighting. Introduced as a practical electronic component in 1962,[2] early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness. When a light-emitting diode is forward biased (switched on), electrons are able to recombine with holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy gap of Red, green and blue LEDs of the 5mm type 2 the semiconductor. An LED is usually small in area (less than 1 mm ), and Type Passive, optoelectronic integrated optical components are used to shape its radiation pattern and assist in reflection.[3] LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources Working principle Electroluminescence including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, Invented Nick Holonyak Jr. (1962) smaller size, faster switching, and greater durability and reliability. LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more Electronic symbol precise current and heat management than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output. Pin configuration Anode and Cathode Light-emitting diodes are used in applications as diverse as replacements for aviation lighting, automotive lighting (particularly indicators) and in traffic signals.

  • Technology Brief 6: Display Technologies
    106 TECHNOLOGY BRIEF 6: DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES Technology Brief 6: Display Technologies From cuneiform-marked clay balls to the abacus to today’s digital projection technology, advances in visual displays have accompanied almost every major leap in information technology. While the earliest “modern” computers relied on cathode ray tubes (CRT) to project interactive images, today’s computers can access a wide variety of displays ranging from plasma screens and LED arrays to digital micromirror projectors, electronic ink, and virtual reality interfaces. In this Technology Brief, we will review the major technologies currently available for two-dimensional visual displays. Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) The earliest computers relied on the same technology that made the television possible. In a CRT television or monitor (Fig. TF6-1), an electron gun is placed behind a positively charged glass screen, and a negatively charged electrode (the cathode) is mounted at the input of the electron gun. During operation, the cathode emits streams of electrons into the electron gun. The emitted electron stream is steered onto different parts of the positively charged screen by the electron gun; the direction of the electron stream is controlled by the electric field of the deflecting coils through which the beam passes. The screen is composed of thousands of tiny dots of phosphorescent material arranged in a two-dimensional array. Every time an electron hits a phosphor dot, it glows a specific color (red, blue, or green). A pixel on the screen is composed of phosphors of these three colors. In order to make an image appear to move on the screen, the electron gun constantly steers the electron stream onto different phosphors, lighting them up faster than the eye can detect the changes, and thus, the images appear to move.
