R&D money spent on better things

Liquid crystal has hit its technological peak and companies like Samsung and LG are investing in R&D for different types of technology.

Spending a fortune on micro-LED development

Apple wants to reduce its dependence on Samsung and develop its own micro-LED displays.

Could replace OLED on smartwatches

Samsung has started to commercialise MicroLED technology for smartwatches and the tech could be used to replace OLED displays.

There is something in my eye

LG Display has shown off a thin, lightweight, stretchable, and twistable micro-LED screen which is made from the same silicon material as contact lenses.

Built by TSMC

Apple is developing micro LED panels for both small-size and large-size applications along with its chum TSMC.

Asian suppliers might be knifed soon

Apple's Asian supplies might be about to receive the long expected knife in the back.

Inventing is too hard

Apple’s claim to be an innovator took another knock as it was revealed that it was slashing staff in one of its key R&D labs.

Still too expensive for smartphones

While many thought it would take three years to get Micro LED displays to become available in the market due to technological bottlenecks, it looks like it will be a lot easier than many thought.

Second half of 2017 with products in 2018

Despite shedloads of delays and technological bottlenecks micro LED products will start to arrive in the second half of the year with full production ready for 2018.
