Samsung’s million-dollar MicroLED TV has appeared to screen dead pixels

With the continuous development of display technology, OLED screens have become the new standout in the display industry. For the next-generation display technology solution, MicroLED is currently the most popular, and Samsung has taken the lead in commercializing it and launched The Wall TV.

As a MicroLED TV, The Wall uses micro LED units instead of traditional backlights, and the display effect is very good. However, BUSINESSKOREA reported that Samsung’s MicroLED TVs in Manhattan and South Korea have experienced dead pixels, and reports of defects are increasing.

The Wall TV is priced at 170 million won this high price makes its shipments very low. According to data from market research firm Omdia, shipments of MicroLED TVs this year are not expected to exceed 1,000 units. Therefore, once a MicroLED TV fails, the failure rate of MicroLED TVs will increase by one thousandth. And if ten MicroLED TVs fail, the technology has a 1% failure rate.

For reference, Omdia data shows that LCD and OLED TV panel shipments this year are expected to be 250 million and 10 million, respectively. If the OLED TV panel failure rate is 1%, then 100,000 OLED TVs will fail. Therefore, MicroLED still has a long way to go to replace OLED.

Moreover, Micro LED display technology refers to a display technology that uses self-luminous micron-scale LEDs as light-emitting pixel units and assembles them on a drive panel to form a high-density LED array. This technology has almost all the advantages of OLED display technology, and it can also achieve that there is no need to worry about the aging of light-emitting units under extremely high brightness, and its lifespan is far longer than that of OLED displays.
