The LED IC-driver manufacturers are conducting similarly vicious fight for the market. For example, by the opening of ISE the well-known Taiwanese company Macroblock manufactured a new driver series MBI5359, specially for high-resolution screens with high-density pixels. Apart from good contrast dynamic imaging, high-integration 48-channel 16-bit grey scale IC-drivers boast the new energy saving (up to 75%) function when the screen operates in slide-mode.
Pitch density grows together with resolution. A few years ago everyone talked of the revolutionary 4k resolution. Today even 8K is commonplace. And some companies are working on the next barrier of 16K resolution. Mostly this concerns the OLED screens that were represented at ISE in enormous numbers.
The ever-sceptical experts continue to argue about the commercial aspect of augmented reality, VR and 3D technology. One fact is indisputable though: the sales in this area continue to grow in spite of the world crisis. The market analysts agree that the sales of VR products will double for the next several years. Experts predict that enhanced reality products will soon be introduced in the educational and health systems of several countries.
