Samsung Electronics recently issued a patent that describes a modular design Micro LED TV.
A brief explanation in advance. Even if the description of this patent is comprehensive and detailed, it does not mean that Samsung will continue to pursue the development or production of corresponding products. Ideas or projects that "crash" are often converted into patents in order to protect them from competition. Samsung's patent W02020116861 "display device" is a panel with a printed circuit board that has several display modules mounted vertically. As shown below:
Flexible aspect ratio
The slim Micro LED module (A1) has a 1:10 form factor and is attached to the circuit board at the top and bottom. 40 modules can be assembled into a 1:1 image pattern (W1). The classic 16:9 format (W2) continues with the addition of 22 modules. Not only that, the form factor can even be expanded to a 21:9 ultrawide display (W3).
The module is composed of hundreds of Micro LED pixels, each pixel is divided into red, green and blue sub-pixels. The arrangement of sub-pixels in the pixel is temporarily unclear. It may be arranged in a triangle, or it may be elongated sub-pixels arranged adjacently. The patent mentions the resolution of the display. According to the regular format 16:9, the resolution is 3,840 x 2,160, which is 4K Ultra HD. As pixel density increases, 8K (7,680 x 4,320) is also possible.
Micro LED display screen consists of four parts
The complete display structure actually contains four components. Micro LED light source module, printed circuit board, substrate on which Micro LED module is placed, and transparent protective layer. The transparent protective layer protects against dust, splash water and other foreign matter.
