Innolux Mini LED

Mini-LED backlight technology marks a significant advance in display development. This progressive backlight technology has already proven itself in the consumer and automotive markets and is now rapidly gaining traction in the industrial sector. With the ability to deliver precise brightness control and deeper blacks, a new standard in image quality has been quickly set. The enormous potential of mini LED backlights is particularly evident in industries that rely on detailed illustrations, high brightness and challenging environmental conditions – be it medical, aerospace, marine, military or any other HMI systems. Today, this technology combines superior image quality with energy efficiency and ruggedness and is becoming one of the preferred solutions for demanding display requirements.

The technology behindMini-LED and local dimming

Mini LED technology is based on the use of extremely small LEDs (mini LEDs), which are placed in large numbers behind the screen. In contrast to conventional LED backlights, mini LEDs enable much more precise control of the backlighting. Contrast, brightness and picture quality are raised to a new level, particularly through the combination with local dimming (the control of backlighting depending on the picture content).For this local dimming, the picture content must be evaluated and the brightness value for the screen divided into zones assessed. Innolux has developed corresponding integrated circuits for this purpose: For MIPI, Innolux offers a corresponding chip for the MCU board, for LVDS a Bcon backlight controller and for eDP the function is included in the Tcon timing controller.
