South Korea to Build Inorganic LED Ecosystem

TapTechNews May 24th, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy of South Korea announced yesterday that South Korea's Inorganic Light-Emitting Diode Display Technology Development and Ecosystem Construction Project has passed the preliminary feasibility study.

According to the project plan, the South Korean government will invest 484 billion Korean won (TapTechNews note: currently about 2.57 billion Chinese yuan) in 8 years to build an inorganic light-emitting diode industry ecosystem.

Inorganic LED refers to a self-luminous display that uses inorganic materials as the LED light source, and the corresponding commercial names include QD-LED, nanoLED, MicroLED, QDEL, etc.

Compared with the current traditional LCD display, inorganic LED has the advantage of self-luminous high efficiency; and compared with OLED display, the light-emitting material life of inorganic LED display devices is better, there will be no screen burn, and it is also more convenient to achieve high brightness.

The South Korean government plans to achieve a super-gap in inorganic LED display technology in three major areas:

Ultra-small pixel technology;

High-speed panel manufacturing technology;

Construction technology of super-large modular displays above 300 inches.

South Korea also plans to establish a large inorganic LED demonstration center in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do to support the relevant technology verification and commercialization process of small and medium-sized enterprises.
