The International Display
Technology and Application Innovation Exhibition (DIC EXPO 2020) opened in
Shanghai, China on July 22 and will run till July 24. At the event, Chinese
display manufacturer BOE Technologies has unveiled several innovative display technologies
and solutions such as flexible AMOLED, Mini-LEDs, and under-screen cameras.
The most captivating products
are the expected 27-inch Mini LED alongside a 15.6-inch Mini LED both of which
attracted great attention. BOE’s Mini LED products can achieve a million-level
ultra-high contrast ratio and provide a more pure and natural display effect.
Mini-LED is a new display
technology that promises improved contrast ratios and deeper blacks compared to
LCD panels that are lit with regular LEDs (light-emitting diodes). As the name
suggests, mini-LEDs are a lot smaller than regular LEDs. Diodes that are
smaller than 0.2 mm are generally classed as mini-LEDs.
The emerging display
technology is touted to be the next-generation display technology and it is
presently the focus of local manufacturers in China. There are even
speculations that Apple is planning to utilise Mini LEDs on its upcoming
products in order to solve the problem of OLED burn-in and improve product
durability. A shift to mini LEDs will also help to reduce its dependence on
Samsung, the dominant player in the OLED industry.Also, the company unveiled a
32:9 ultra-wide OLED curved display, an outer folding screen and a flexible
OLED notebook display with a narrow bezel.
Yet another innovative product
showcased at the tech show is a flexible screen with under-screen camera technology.
The under-screen camera technology erases the style of using a notch or
hole-punch design and also delivers an immersive user experience. Furthermore,
the company took the wraps off a 3D face recognition technology implemented
under the display which offers users a new, smarter and more convenient way of
unlocking gadgets using face detection.
Finally, BOE also brought a
75-inch, 110-inch 8K BD Cell display, innovatively applying total reflection
display technology to tablet computers, e-books, TVs, outdoor advertising
machines, bus stop signs and other fields.
