From the article: OLED and MicroLED are the future

    I believe miniLED was a marketing term intended to mislead customers into thinking it was similar technology to OLED. Since most consumers don’t even know what LEDs are, it probably worked.

    LCD displays have, for some time now, had LED behind them. Said LEDs produce the white light needed to display the image produced by the LCD panel. MiniLED just provides groupings of the LED panel so that they can be individually turned off to produce darker darks.

      Yes, that’s what I thought too, but as beefcat said, I conflated Mini and Micro; MicroLEDs seem be non-OLEDs, so to speak. I hope I understood that part correctly!

        Yup. Been trying to delete or edit my comment because I got it so wrong. My statement is true to mini LED.
