Mini-LED
A display backlighting technology that uses miniaturized LED elements as the light source. Compared with conventional LCD backlighting, it delivers higher peak brightness and finer local dimming zones, and has become one of the mainstream backlight solutions in high-end televisions and monitors.
Timeline (last 90 days)
PROLED XDR is very likely an evolution of Mini-LED or similar zone-based backlight technology, rather than pure OLED.
Traditional LCDs rely on a uniform backlight, and even with Mini-LED local dimming, the halo phenomenon remains difficult to fully avoid.
The cost per unit area of OLED panels is still significantly higher than that of Mini-LED or LCD panels of the same specification.
The iPad Pro already uses Mini-LED/XDR display technology.
Apple uses Mini-LED on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and the MacBook Pro.
Mini-LED is still essentially LCD; it divides the traditional LED backlight into hundreds or thousands of independent dimming zones, improving contrast through local dimming.
OLED and Mini-LED panels have become widespread in laptops priced above $1,000, and brightness and color gamut are no longer scarce resources.
