Build the Wall

Similar to rolling OLEDS, enormous Microled screens have been a regular spectacle at CES for years, but we’ve never been given indication that these would become a viable consumer product in the foreseeable future. At CES 2020, Samsung, Sony, LG, TCL, and Konka all made Microled a central attraction of their booths. And while none of these companies had anything substantial to say about migrating Microled to the consumer space (availability, pricing, etc.), Samsung at least announced a Pro Luxury version of the tech that’s aimed at the ultra-high-end custom installation market. The lineup includes offerings in new 88-, 93-, 110-and 150-inch sizes, with the under-100inch models featuring a fixed-screen configuration (larger sizes are assembled from modular panels and require painstaking installation). To produce the new screens, Samsung developed a new LED chip that’s said to be 15x smaller than the design used in the company’s current Microled displays.
