While OLED and traditional LED dominate general lighting, Micro-LED and Mini-LED technologies are making significant inroads into high-performance and specialty applications. These technologies involve using arrays of microscopic or miniaturized LEDs, allowing for unprecedented control over brightness, contrast, and color uniformity. In architectural and entertainment lighting, this enables the creation of ultra-high-resolution, seamless linear lighting and display surfaces with precise pixel-level control for dynamic visual effects. For high-precision tasks in industrial, medical, and scientific settings, Mini-LEDs provide exceptionally stable and uniform light with minimal glare and shadowing. The ability to pack more light-emitting elements into a smaller area also drives efficiency gains and enables new, compact form factors for luminaires. Although cost and manufacturing complexity remain challenges for mass-market general lighting, the value proposition for professional, commercial, and high-end architectural projects is clear. This trend is pushing the boundaries of what light can do, moving from general illumination to precise visual tools.
