Philips is working on Micro LED TVs

In September of last year, Danny Tack, Philips’ senior director of product strategy and planning, told What Hi-Fi? that Micro LED technology was more suited for the lab than for home use. However, in a recent conversation with him, he suggested that he now considers it to be the flagship TV technology of the future.

When asked about the future of Mini LED technology, he pointed out that while some brands might be taking a dual-flagship TV approach, with a Mini LED model on one side and an OLED on the other, Philips has a clear hierarchy, with OLED at the top, Mini LED in the middle, and standard LCD/LED below.

He then went on to talk about the next step in TV tech: 'We might talk about a mix between them, Mini LED and OLED. I think the next-generation displays – not next year, but three or four years from now – will be Micro LEDs, which will be a combination of the two strengths'. Tack revealed that Philips is heavily experimenting with Micro LED prototypes in Taipei, but he did not go into detail about the project.
