Customer Electronics Demand Increases Value of Micro-LED Growth

| Micro-LED |
Micro-LED is a matrix-based LED that has been reduced in
size and offers improved energy efficiency, colour, brightness, and response
time. MicroLED or mLED is another name for it. Smartphones, tablets, laptops,
televisions, smart watches, head-up displays, and other near-to-eye (NTE)
devices all employ micro-LED. Micro-LED market growth is being fueled by rising
demand for low-energy and tiny devices such as smartphones and smart watches.
During the projected period, the growing number of smartphone users around the
world is likely to drive market growth. According to the Australian
Communications and Media Authority, the number of smartphone owners in Australia
was 8.67 million in May 2012, up 104 percent from the previous year.
The predicted adoption of micro-LED displays in NTE devices
and luxury smartphones is one of the main reasons driving the micro-LED market
forward over the forecast period. Similarly, the rising demand for wearable
displays for smartwatches and head-mounted displays (HMDs) should provide
attractive prospects for micro-LED companies.
Over the years, the Micro-LED
business has seen substantial expansion. The abrupt emergence of the COVID-19
pandemic has had an impact on demand for micro-LED-based devices, particularly
in 2020 and 2021. Companies have been compelled to develop remote working
strategies as a result of the epidemic. Lockdown imposed in virtually all major
nations to combat the spread of COVID-19 has affected the supply chain, slowed
manufacturing, and hampered research and development, resulting in production
delays.
Every day, the share of the urban population grows,
generating traffic congestion. Only 46.72 percent of the world's population
lived in cities in 2000; by 2007, more than half (50.14 percent) of the world's
population (for the first time) resided in cities. In metropolitan locations,
private and professional mobility poses major problems. Increased urbanisation
and population have increased traffic density levels, making commuting
difficult for the general public. In addition, as the urban population expands,
so will the volume of commerce conducted within cities and with commercial
partners outside of cities. As business increases, a growing urban population
tends to increase the amount of transportation. For example, as cities'
populations grow, so will traffic as businesses such as e-commerce, postal
& logistics, and restaurant aggregator & food delivery companies expand
their operations.
The three key supply chain steps required for mass
production of micro-LED displays are micro-LED manufacture, mass transferring,
and panel manufacturing. These three processes must come together for
large-scale display production. Micro-LED displays have a more complicated and
extensive supply chain than LCD or OLED panels. As the technology matures, the
LCD supply chain, which includes a variety of components and materials, is well
established. The OLED supply chain is changing; yet, because there are fewer
components in the display panel, one or two firms can control the supply chain.
Every operation in the micro-LED supply chain is crucial, and managing each
stage of the supply chain by one or two companies will be difficult. The patent
portfolio of companies and the distribution of the same also indicate that no
single company is positioned to cover the entire supply chain of micro-LED displays.
