Increased demand for micro LED backlight in the electronics industry is a key driver fueling the mini LED display market expansion. Major consumer electronics companies including LG, Samsung, AUO, and others aim to release goods with micro LED technology, which is quickly gaining interest in the electronics market. The small LED backlight technology has been introduced by AUO in a number of displays that span a range of gaming devices, from huge desktop and laptop monitors to laptops, as well as high-end products like VR headsets and intelligent automobiles. The expansion of the tiny LED display market is expected to benefit greatly from the rise in smartphone usage and the deeper integration of its many capabilities into daily life.

Emergence of cutting edge display technologies is pushing the key players in the mini LED market to bring enhanced technologies in the mini LED market. For example, the advancement of cutting-edge display technologies is something that AU Optronics (AUO) is still working on. At SID Display Week 2022, AUO will present the application scenarios of the next-generation Micro LED display technology integrated smart cockpit, numerous world-first AmLED gaming display panels, as well as top-notch sensing technologies that highlight AUO's powerful integration capabilities. All of these products were jointly developed with partners from the technology ecosphere. With display technology platforms that focus on the display as the core to realise numerous imaging applications, AUO meets the evolving needs of verticals and exemplifies what "Display Everywhere 2.0" entails. In this exhibit, AUO is showcasing its K-zone Mini LED series, which has over 1000 dimming zones and complies with the highest VESA Display HDR1000 specification. It can display strong contrast and a high refresh rate to offer gaming visuals a more realistic feel. The 240Hz refresh rate can currently provide the images with fine details and flow with exceptional precision.

The mini LED market is expected to be dominated by Europe, followed by Asia Pacific and North America.
