truly enlightening words

One of the biggest areas where the quality of picture on CRTs was seen as poor by the majority of people wasn't the fault of the CRT, but rather the noisy analog signal of broadcast, things like RF or composite video connectors, and things like recordings done on VHS tapes. All of these things combined created fuzzier, noisier images that the CRT would dutifully render for you. Granted a CRT is really inefficient and heavy, but input a signal with something like SCART or S-Video with a digital input source, and you'll get a clean image, even high definition models existed. Sony's Trinitron models always looked really good back in the day compared to other ones I used.

Yeah the last CRT i bought was a 20in Dell (Sony) Trinitron that supported 1600x1200@ 60hz. That was around 2000. Used it for about a decade after that. I switched to LCD displays because they got cheap at higher resolutions. Also larger screens were good, because my farsightedness began to be noticable, this allowed me to push the screen further away from my eyes allowing me to not need readers. heh.

They where rather dim. 1992 -ish or 1994, more realistically, is when GaN became a thing. Now you had not only blue LEDs, but very bright blue LEDs ! You also got true green LEDs, as opposed to the earlier washed out yellow-green LEDS that came out earlier. I think the problem with the green and red LEDs is the size.

Yes, surface-conduction electron-emitter display. Every _subpixel_ was effectively a very tiny CRT: an electron emitter, a small gap, then a red, green, or blue phosphor. It was initially developed by Canon and then they partnered with Toshiba to make displays. The display quality of the prototypes shown off at trade shows was reportedly exceptional (but this was a good 15 years ago), but the introduction date kept sliding and sliding so clearly there were some ultimately insurmountable hurdles. I do know that one problem was that subpixels could only be on or off, brightness had to be controlled by flickering them many times per frame.

Love the humour mixed into these videos. That introduction was golden! 😁 (but there are many more hidden gems in the video).

So you make a substraight that is just connections (like a surface covered with a furry forest much smaller than the leds), you make a paint out of all 3 colors of micro leds (probably even smaller ones), and you paint them onto the substraight. Then you have a device like a fpga that tests every set of connections and sees what color is produced and programs itself to know what connections produce what colors at what points.

Love your closing statement. I am told, the most promosing technology in mass transfer right now is LIFT (laser induced forward transfer), using eximer laser with mask to transfer a n area of micro LED's instead of one by one.

Yet the three beams were swept via magnetic deflection over the screen in unison, and the beams had to maintain their identity with each one striking its assigned color phosphor. You may (or may not) find it interesting to learn more about these systems, for the sake of history if nothing else. In any event, don't be throwing shade at that technology.

Seems like quantum dots is the way to go. When Linus was looking at the wall, it's not low power, it puts out a ton of heat that needs extra ac, and the smaller panels that lock together to make a large panel isn't color calibrated. So if one panel goes out put a new one in the colors are slightly off, and the panel go out often enough. The 146 size is 5.76 m/2 uses 2990 watts max. And needs 10,212 BTU of cooling.

Given the difficulty and the costs involved it's looking more and more like MicroLED displays may never come to market in the kinds of quantities that everyone was originally hoping for. That entire area of technology may well just be skipped and/or set aside while others (and older technologies that can be mass-produced affordably) are updated, advanced and approved upon. And, that's all perfectly fine as not all technology necessarily needs to find its way through to direct commercial viability. Besides, there is still a LOT more performance that can still be squeezed out of existing display tech like LCD and OLED. Every year companies find new way to improv on those platforms as well.

What about A pick and place style roller? Using MEMS to hold on via negative pressure, then slowly rotate the roller onto the substrate, but move the substrate at the same time to get the desired spacing. (and up/down to not catch any LEDs by accident). Or combining fluidic self assembly with pick and place to make chiplets that can be effectively assembled? Also, as someone else noted, a QD layer over blue LEDs is most likely where the industry will go. Consolidating 3 LED types into just one seems the best to increase output consistency and reduce R&D expenditure in fabrication when it's more needed in assembly. And final side note: Thoughts on optical antennas?

If you grow them on sapphire (already transparent) then why not just grow three layers, plate/mask/etch the conductive lattice onto each and then stack them? Each layer could just shine through if they're offset correctly

I would work toward a stacked geometry. Red on the bottom can be largest and has insufficient energy to excite green or blue carriers into conduction. Similar considerations apply to the green under blue interface. We do need to prevent the light going the other way, which can be done with dichroic mirrors. Lattice matching among these layers and material purity/control may limit yield, but I think this will win in the long term.

Leds did NOT free us from CRTs. For the first years for Desktop Monitors, the back light came from fluorescent tubes.

Something in my head lit up!

Thanks!

So from my perspective there are two options to make this somewhat easier. 1) Construct the panel from only blue LEDs and then use quantum dots for the red and green sub pixels. Solves the need for green and red LEDs. 2)Do away with LEDs altogether and use electrical charge to directly stimulate blue quantum dots. Then use red and green quantum dots after the blue ones for those sub pixels.

Yeah, the huge advantage of quantum dots is they can just be printed on a substrate, if memory serves. They're talking about using quantum dots in solar panels as well. Solar cells absorb certain wavelengths better than others, so use quantum dots to shift the incoming white light of incompatible frequencies into those compatible frequencies. You could greatly improve the efficiency of the solar cell. Problem right now is that the quantum dots we know how to make would probably degrade pretty quickly in full sunlight, but that's likely an issue that can be resolved.

His description of CRT monitors is wildly inaccurate however, they had perfect blacks and instant response times.

cool, never knew it was so complex! hopefully by the time microled comes out, it'll cost around 10G's for a 75" 8K microled tv. :)

And like OLED will cost $2k in 6 years

Video that shines!

my dear lord, these videos are extremely informative

Cathode ray tube tech did do HD they were not as bad as you initially said they could have done 4k as well we shifted tech before they were developed commercially Should be pointed out that because these devices were so heavy, (the larger the screen , the thicker and heavier the glass ) we have most likely saved untold amounts of oil not having to ship all of that heavy display technology. In audition, because they are so much thinner and lighter more of it this display tech could be fit into smaller spaces. They are more efficient and use much less electricity. I would love to have someone calculatie how much the switch from CRTs to flat screen technologies has saved the environment and energy costs on all levels of the value chain.

They also have high response. Hence gamers sticking with CRT longer.

One of the practical drawback is power consumption and bulkiness.

I see the fluid self assembly process work awesome on single colored panels, but how the hell you make it work on every third?(or fourth)

fluidic self assembly is cool to the point that i hope it's the technique that ends up winning in the end

@@HansSchulze I was thinking the same thing I wonder if they could combine fluidic self assembly or a similar technique that would be assisted with ultrasound resonance and or acoustic suspension technology to vibrate the LED's into place /watch?v=wvJAgrUBF4w /watch?v=MnjKa3EZXwg maybe the micro LED's each have their own unique enough resonant frequency already or if not maybe some extra element could be added to make them resonate at different desired frequencies so they could be steered individually into place by the ultrasound.

Whoa whoa whoa. CRT's are awesome.

Very interesting! But you didn't talk about MicroLED pared with QD, like the new OLED QD !

Man.... Love you bro

Intresting report as usual. Never heard much about this micro led technology before. Anyway, besides all common display technologies, promises and the race of resolutions that already reached a point that human eye can't differ from a distance, the question of technology should also be which technology saves the most amount of power? Most (in Germany sold) TV sets have an very bad energy label. Since I know now about the light intesety effects of the red micro led depending on the size, this technology maybe could not save more power than a (led) backlight powered display.

ooh _that_ shockley, sure yeah, now i understand. I was thinking of _another_ shockley... 😂

Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏻

I don't think micro led TV's will ever be a mainstream thing.

Let there be light!

Seriously, how do you even research this broadly within semiconductor lol? Great content!
