Samsung pulls back as Micro-LED sales stay near 100 units
Samsung's TV boss is reportedly pulling back investment from Micro-LED technology due to low sales, with only approximately 100 units sold annually. This development casts doubt on Micro-LED's potential to become a mainstream TV technology or an "OLED killer."
Key Takeaways
- Samsung is reportedly pulling back from Micro-LED under its new TV boss.
- The company has sold around 100 Micro-LED units per year, according to the report.
