Understanding OLED, QLED, Mini-LED, MicroLED — Don’t be misLED
What is OLED … QLED … Mini-LED … MicroLED … What the LED? Let us take a look at these technologies and what their uses are. These are all a form of LED (Light Emitting Diode), which are used in electronic displays found in televisions, computer monitors, smartphones and screens on other devices. LED are a part of the display’s panel which provides lighting for LCD screens. This is what we find on the screens of flagship smartphones, premium TV sets and high resolution monitors.
LED originate from an electronic semiconductor component that emits light when current is passed through it. This works on the principles of Electroluminescence (EL), when materials emit light in the presence of electric current or strong magnetic fields. LED, which are basically diodes, allow the electricity to flow in only one direction through the semiconductor. When electrons flow through the semiconductor’s junction, photons are released which gives us light. It is from these components that OLED and other LED-based products are made for electronic displays.
