Samsung’s Micro LED display dubbed The Wall was introduced at last year’s CES with a 146” display. This year they showcased Micro LED displays in two new sizes, a 75” and a massive 219” version of The Wall. These displays are assembled with Micro LED modules which can be arranged in almost any configuration to suit the user. The size of the sub-pixels has been reduced and the pixel pitch has been reduced by about half compared to the original Micro LEDs. The improved technology features extremely fine pitch semiconductor packaging that reduces the gap between the microscopic LED chips. These new chips are approximately one-fifteenth the size of their predecessors. The more tightly packed chips allowed Samsung to create a 4K resolution version of the Micro LED display in a smaller 75” form factor.

These Micro LED modules feature millions of inorganic red, green and blue microscopic LED chips that emit their own light to produce brilliant colors, true black and excellent picture quality. The Wall 2019 achieves richer picture quality with AI-Upscaling technology and a peak brightness of 2,000 nits. The Micro LED technology optimizes content regardless of the size and shape of the assembled screen. These displays can scale to increase the resolution with the addition of more modules and while maintaining a constant pixel density. Micro LED displays can support standard 16:9 content, widescreen 21:9 content and as well as unconventional aspect ratios such as 32:9 and 1:1 without any compromise to picture quality.

The modules allow versatility in configuring the screen size which can be customized to fit any room. The size of the display can be expanded by simply adding Micro LED modules. The wafer-thin modular design can be arranged in unusual screen sizes and shapes to suit user’s specific needs in terms of space, appearance and function. The displays are further enhanced by the bezel-free modules which provide a seamless look to the finished array.

Samsung hasn’t provided release dates yet for these new Micro LED products, but in the meantime sales of direct-view LED displays of the non-Micro variety have been gaining traction in the marketplace, as noted by PMA Research in their monthly U.S. sell-through reports for large-format flat panel displays.
