The most eco-friendly display/monitor/screen possible.

Hi

I’m thinking of a hypothetical indoor monitor for a TV/computer. This
display does not use plasma, LCD, or a backlight to any extent.
Instead it relies purely on ILEDs for emission of light, colors, and
images. As with most screens, each pixel contains a red, green, and
blue subpixel. However, in this hypothetical monitor, each subpixel
consists of a single ILED.

ILED = Inorganic Light Emitting Diode

Each pixel – and its respective subpixels – are as small as physically-
possible given the state of today’s technology. The screen contains as
many pixels per area physically-possible with today’s technology.
These specs ensure that highest possible image resolution.

What would be the disadvantages of this purely-ILED monitor – besides
the cost?

Would refresh rate apply to this type of monitor? If so, what would be
the maximum refresh-rate possible with this monitor?

I think this type of display is the most energy-efficient possible
considering today’s technology. Am I right?

ILED kicks LCD’s butt anyday.

Those so-called “LED TVs” in the current market as simply LCDs with
LED backlights. These evil marketers are so manipulative and the
customers who fall for them are so unwise.

LCDs reek. When an LCD monitor is turned on, it required more watts to
stay dark than to be bright. My hypothetical ILED monitor does the
exact opposite and is more eco-friendly because it doesn’t waste
energy using a backlight.

My ILED screen totally kills both plasma and LCD technology. ILED also
is significantly more energy-efficient than OLED.

Any chance of my theoretical ILED display appearing in department
stores in the next year?

I have not heard of the hypothetical screen technlogy. Thanks for
sharing the information with us GreenXenon. The way technlogy that is
going these days it does not take long for the latest development to
be out of date and replaced with something else. I think it's a matter
of cost. It will be a while before I update my LCD screen. There was a
major improvement between LCD and CRT screens but may not be such a
major different between LCD and ILED.

While an LCD may need more watts to stay dark than to be bright, How
does its actual power consumption compart to an array of LEDs? LCD is a
very low power technology.

 

Not a chance in hell. You overlooked one minor little issue, which would be
the cost of fabricating such a display vs. an AMOLED or LCD module, and
relative
to the potential power savings over either of those technologies (esp.
AMOLED).
So look into that, why don't you, and come back and let us know what you've
found out when you're done.

AFAIK, lack of money is the only issue canceling the existence of my
hypothetical ILED display. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

If by "lack of money," you mean "the thing would be too damned expensive,"
you're right. If not, consider yourself corrected.

Here's the tech you are talking about:

-it could be a while before they are able to make them as small as
needed for display resolution.
