Quarterly MiniLED Backlight Technology, Cost and Shipment Report

MiniLED backlights in LCDs can potentially offer numerous advantages over other flat panel display technologies, most notably in high brightness, high contrast ratio, lower power consumption than WOLED TV and higher efficiency. The superior performance makes MiniLED backlights attractive for use in a variety of applications, ranging from large TVs to IT applications. Automotive and industrial applications are also advantageously addressed by MiniLED backlight technologies due to their higher brightness and higher contrast ratio.

With this report, DSCC provides a comprehensive analysis on:

· MiniLED backlights and forecasts

· LED supply/demand analysis and forecast

· MiniLED shipments on all applications

· Technology (equipment components, etc.) and roadmap

The adoption of MiniLED technology will gain significant momentum in 2021 as Samsung and Chinese brands launch LCD TVs with MiniLED backlights. Samsung is said to be targeting sales of 2M units. Entry-level MiniLED backlights LCD TVs with POB will have a cost advantage over OLED TVs and will be able to penetrate into the QDEF (QD LCD) market, while still being more expensive than conventional LCD TVs.

Specification on MiniLED backlights is quite diversified & chaotic (#LEDs, dimming zones, OD) at the initial stage. But it seems that spec is getting converged. Having affordable costs with reasonable performance becomes the main consideration on design.

The new report is available now and will be invaluable to companies targeting the MiniLED backlight industry and all the companies in the supply chain, such as LED suppliers, packaging suppliers, panel makers, equipment manufacturers, assembly houses and OEMs.
