MicroLEDs for
Large-Scale
Next-Gen
Home Theater
Video experts point to a new era of
high-performance home theater
being supported by the rapidly
increasing microLED display options
that produce bright, vivid images.
By Robert Archer
EVERYONE loves home theater. You don't need to
be an audiophile or videophile to appreciate the
benefits of a nice home theater, all you need is a love for
movies and music.
As the custom installation market pushes next-generation
technologies into the mainstream through trade
events such as the CEDIA Expo, which puts a spotlight on
emerging solutions to enter the market, microLED displays
are poised to be the next big thing, pardon the pun, in highend
home entertainment.
This past fall in Dallas serves as a perfect example, where
numerous large-display products were shown at CEDIA
Expo 2022 from a variety of manufacturers. The emergence
of these displays started around 2018 and coincides with an
ongoing trend that's been happening over the past several
years with homeowners choosing to buy larger televisions.
As CE Pro noted when we tabbed it as one of 2023's top
tech opportunities, microLED capabilities provide large,
scalable options as an alternative to common two-piece
projection, which can be hindered by space and design
constraints.

What Is MicroLED?
During the podcast, Dustal discussed the growth potential
of microLED in the residential market, and he explained
how the technology works. So before getting into a roundup
of products and features that are currently available,
here's a quick refresh.
Dustal started his explanation by pointing out how
existing LCD technologies rely on a backlight to produce
light for an image. The color component of the image comes
from the technology's backlight passing through the LCD

Noting this consumer preference for larger screen sizes
back in episode #124 of the CE Pro Podcast, the " Video
Guys " were previewing the CEDIA 2022 Expo. The experts
- Joel Silver of the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF),
Jason Dustal of Murideo, and Robert Zohn of Value Electronics
- discussed the trend in detail, and Silver noted
that 65-inch TVs are the market's new 42-inch television
in terms of sales. The way huge screen sizes have become
more affordable, homeowners are increasingly aspiring to
own 75- to 100-inch displays.
Examining where the home AV market stands today, with
the convergence of microLED technologies and the public's
desire for larger screen sizes, the timing seems perfect for
the residential technology industry to adopt solutions that
were originally intended for commercial applications.
