AnonD-690051, 23 Mar 2018yeah yeah.. same old stories from sony fan: 1. God create ... moreWell you seem to be a hater and it would be stupid to argue with you since your blocking your head. But know this that OLED is what the media and businesses are bubbling around and know that Sony created OLED and other things that are based on this industry.
You can search in google and check for Wikipedia all this so
Have a good day :)

        ryan92084, 23 Mar 2018Its going to be several years before we can get the mLED's ... moreYeah but it only needs more R&D and some found the solutions for it that's why the microLED is going to happen 2021 in TVs and smartphones

            Anonymous, 23 Mar 2018he is a sony fanb0yHey
            Sony was the pioneer of OLED and was doing it since 1990 so its ok to be a fan of Sony :D

              Akorn Farmer, 23 Mar 2018The basic technology of micro LED was around for long time ... moreFirst of all, True but all of you are forgetting Sony did back in 2012 a 55' inch TV called CLED based on micro-led. So it's not impossible, it only needs for funding to provide for solutions and Samsung, Apple, Sony, LG and others have.
              Second of all, a lot of companies are researching mircoLEDs and got some solutions for light bulbs, TVs and smartphones, tablets, wearables and more and Trust me on that.

                Cassy O, 23 Mar 2018"Demo units" Of course, because the demo units are relen... moreAll of them are doing MircoLED. You can't imagine how many companies are doing it like its a lot really a lot like when the mainstream was LCD and not that companies did that to OLED due to the expansive build they have.
                My brother's S6 edge has a burn in and there are a lot of phones have so don't assume that.

                  Anonymous, 23 Mar 2018As opposed to image retention and backlight failures on lcd?Well, LCD is an old technology who is combined with LED technology and work as one panel. But in the other hand, OLED is newer and has flaws.

                    Anonymous, 23 Mar 2018Did gsmarena really ignored sony's 2012 first gen microled,... moreYes, they did because the spotlight is only for Samsung and Apple

                      AnonD-690051, 23 Mar 2018maybe sony can't afford to mass produce it. just like jdi o... moreLol they will next year both JDI and JOLED because they were looking for support and I think I got it for BOE and others

                        gollygeewillikers, 23 Mar 2018Apple is researching microled in-house (check news feed). T... moreThat would be Foxconn. Because Foxconn is doing their research also. Besides, they are the ones who build the iPhone

                          Anonymous, 23 Mar 2018Sony is getting abandoned by their competitors at their gla... moreBecause Sony tends to be secretive and I personally searched what they're doing on microLED and I found nothing but when I read business websites like LEDinside and others said that Sony doing something about it and every time they say that but the media doesn't spotlight on Sony's work.

                            Oo boy, I hope this is true and see LG phone with microLED display before 2020.

                              HP, 23 Mar 2018MicroLED is the future, OLED is becoming obsolete, LCD is b... moreNope, lcd is not an ancient
                              LCD is still reign supreme in display technology, it even progress with time
                              Yes, it's cheap, not only that, LCD is very bright and more reliable at the same time, not to mention it high refresh rate capabilities(and arguably less eye strain)
                              Lcd maybe dead in smartphone soon, but other market will gladly take lcd other than oled, like monitor, live billboard, laptop, home tv, etc
                              heck even samsung use lcd for their tv
                              And looking back, sony and samsung did said that while microled is superior than both oled and lcd, the cost is still too high and is longer to produce,

                                Inkjet print is cheaper and it wastes less material.

                                  It really bothers me how Samsung is the leader in Korean industry, knowing that LG is more innovative and creative with better qualities.

                                    Its going to be several years before we can get the mLED's small enough to make a smartphone sized screen at a reasonable resolution. The reason the wall is so big and only 4k is because that is literally the smallest they can do right now.

                                    I wouldn't be surprised if some of these new micro LED rumors just end up being mistranslation/ name confusion over the new mini LED backlighting technology https://www.ledinside.com/news/2018/3/auo_to_ship_mini_led_displays_for_gaming_and_vr_applications_in_2h18

                                      MicroLED is the future, OLED is becoming obsolete, LCD is becoming ancient.

                                      While LCD is still very much popular in 2018 due to its prices, OLED seemed to be not able to cut its cost. In the near future, MicroLED will replacing OLED and even surpassing the later.
