Korea Proposes International Standard for MicroLED Device Inspection Equipment

The National Institute of Technology and Standards under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced on the 22nd that Korea will propose technology standards for inspection equipment of micro light-emitting diode (LED) devices, which are evaluated as core components of next-generation displays, at the international standard meeting for semiconductor devices (IEC TC47) held in Jeju until the 24th.

Micro LEDs are inorganic light-emitting devices that have a longer lifespan than organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), which are carbon compound-based, and do not suffer from burn-in effects that leave afterimages on the screen, making them a focus as next-generation displays.

Micro LED displays are made by attaching tens of millions to hundreds of millions of LED devices sized 1 to 20 micrometers (㎛), thinner than a human hair, making it important to secure uniform quality LED devices.

The National Institute of Technology and Standards stated, "Next-generation displays using micro LED devices are currently on the verge of full-scale commercialization, making it a field expected to see significant growth," and added, "We will support Korean companies' equipment technology to become international standards and set the global benchmark."
