Mini-light-emitting diode (Mini-LED) backlight units (BLUs) in combination with high dynamic range technology can reduce energy and ensure high contrast and luminance. However, the number of LEDs used in mini-LED BLUs is considerably larger than the number of partitions in local dimming, resulting in low cost effectiveness. We proposed a design combining edge-light mini-LEDs and light-guiding microstructure lenses to reduce the number of light sources required in displays considerably. A 16-inch prototype was produced for experiments. The length, width, and thickness of the liquid crystal display module were 351.87, 225.75, and 1.709 mm, respectively. For edge-light mini-LEDs with a pitch of 8.6 mm, the average luminance was 18,836 nits for an input power of 22.5 watts, the uniformity was 85%, the uniformity merit function was 10.13, and the contrast ratio was 60,000:1. Thus, a zero-optical-distance (ZOD) mini-LED backlight for extra-thin, large-area notebook LCDs was produced.

Mini-LED backlight has emerged as a promising technology for high performance LCDs, yet the massive detection of dead pixels and precise LEDs placement are constrained by the miniature scale of the Mini-LEDs. The high-resolution network (Hrnet) with mixed dilated convolution and dense upsampling convolution (MDC-DUC) module and a residual global context attention (RGCA) module has been proposed to detect the quality of vehicular Mini-LED backlights. The proposed model outperforms the baseline networks of Unet, Pspnet, Deeplabv3+, and Hrnet, with a mean intersection over union (Miou) of 86.

Received by ordinary cameras, such integrated display and communication (IDAC) systems are promising for the Internet of Things and Metaverse. However, in the premise of unaffected display function, the capacity of current IDAC systems is limited, with data rates of very few kbps.

In this research, we introduce an advanced methodology for the calculation of bulk light sources tailored for free-form surface design, focusing on the principle of energy conservation. This method is especially relevant for the evolving needs of micro-LED packaging, highlighting its potential in this burgeoning field. Our work includes the development of an algorithm for creating freeform-designed chip-scale package (FDCSP) components.

Previously reported collimated backlights, either edge-lit or direct-lit, in general still suffer unsatisfactory form factors, directivity, uniformity, or crosstalk etc. In this work, we report a simple stacking architecture for the highly collimated and uniform backlights, by combining linear light source arrays and carefully designed cylindrical lens arrays.

Outdoor environments require higher brightness levels, thus requiring a reduction in the thermal resistance of the light source package. However, using secondary optical lenses to decrease the number of light sources is not a suitable solution because it may lead to the issue of lens detachment.
