Technologies for the Crystal LED display system

Abstract

We have developed novel active matrix driving technology integrating red–green–blue (RGB) microscale light emitting diodes (micro LEDs) and a microscale integrated circuit (micro IC) in each pixel for the Crystal LED display system. The small size and closely placed RGB subpixels of micro LEDs enabled us to achieve an outstanding contrast ratio even in a bright environment. We also achieved superior luminance linearity and chromaticity stability using accurate pulse width modulation (PWM) driving by micro ICs in the active matrix system. To integrate micro LEDs and micro ICs into a scalable display system, an additional fine-patterned layer was applied to a conventional printed circuit board (PCB). In addition, with precise tiling technology, we could produce a large-scale image providing an immersive visual experience.
