MiniLED backlight technology

As a screen technology derived from LCD, MiniLED lamp bead size is smaller than traditional LCD, lamp beads, generally between 50 and 200 microns. Because of the miniaturization of the lamp bead size, the screen can adjust the brightness separately.

The advantage of MiniLED is that it can realize local dimming, so that the screen backlight can be adjusted in different areas. The LED backlight of traditional LCD screen configuration is unified to adjust the brightness, so it is impossible to control a single interval.

As a result, the MacBook with the new MiniLED technology will achieve a dynamic backlight effect closer to pixel painting and make the screen lighter and thinner.

Ross Young, a display analyst, said that the MiniLED display on the new MacBook Pro will also have the high refresh rate of 120Hz.

The successive application of MiniLED technology in Apple's blockbuster products also marks the maturity of the application of this technology in Apple products, and the demonstration effect brought by industry leaders will further promote the development of the industry.

In the past two years, Samsung, LG, TCL, Xiaomi, Skyworth and other brands have launched MiniLED backlit TVs one after another, continuing to speed up the commercial process of MiniLED. China Galaxy Securities report shows that the penetration rate of MiniLED backlight technology is expected to increase rapidly: shipments are expected to rise to 25.3 million units by 2025, accounting for about 10% of the global TV market.
