Exclusive interpretation
MiniLED, like MicroLED, is a display technology that uses tiny LED chip particles as pixel light-emitting points. However, because MicroLED is still unable to effectively breakthrough in terms of mass transfer technology, MiniLED, which has relatively low technical difficulties, has become the focus of market attention.
The agency predicts that 4-6 new Apple products will use MiniLED displays in the next 2-3 years, which will accelerate the development of the industry. MiniLED technology will significantly improve productivity and entertainment experience. Apple’s first high-end IPAD PRO equipped with the MiniLED industry is expected to be mass-produced in the third quarter of 2020, equipped with A14X processor and 12.9-inch display; the second 16-inch MacBook is expected to be mass-produced in the fourth quarter of 2020 Pro.
The report points out that MiniLED will gradually be introduced into industrial applications and begin to accelerate penetration. At present, MiniLED has begun to be imported into fields including automotive panels, mobile phones, and large-sized panels. By 2023, downstream devices equipped with its technology will grow to 80.7 million units, promoting The size of the MiniLED market reaches 1 billion U.S. dollars, and companies in the related industry chain in advance will have opportunities.
