TCL’s Vidrian mini-LED display packs thousands of LEDs into a sheet of glass

While Samsung’s QLED displays continue to do battle with LG’s OLED panels for dominance in the living room, it may be time to welcome a new contender. At CES 2020, TCL has taken the wraps off its Vidrian Mini-LED display technology, which incorporates tens of thousands of mini LEDs into a clear glass substrate. It’s an advancement over the company’s first 8-Series 4K mini LED display, which it introduced in 2019. “When combined with TCL’s big-screen 8K LCD panels,” the company’s press release reads, “this advanced backlight technology will enable consumers to enjoy immersive entertainment in all lighting conditions, from being enveloped in a movie in the darkest of home theaters to being thrilled by a daytime ball game in a sunlit living room.”
