Competitive landscape

OLED is the primary incumbent — flexible, mature supply chain, good EQE, but limited peak brightness, burn-in susceptibility, and lifetime under high-luminance operation. LCD+mini-LED backlight is a near-term bridge. Quantum-dot color conversion (QDCC) layered on blue micro-LED is a leading color-patterning route vs. direct RGB epitaxy. Key competing approaches:
