You’ve probably come across something called “Mini LED” if you have been looking for a new TV or monitor lately. It is one of the newest developments in display tech, offering what is said to be a massive step up in picture quality. But precisely what is it that makes your viewing experience even better?
In this post, we will discuss Mini LED backlighting, branding, and technology. We’ll cover how it works, how it dramatically enhances HDR and local dimming, and why a Mini LED portable monitor could be the perfect upgrade for your portable laptop monitor.
How Mini LED Backlight Works
Before we can get into Mini LED, we have to discuss the workings of most modern LED displays. Most LED displays use a backlight to illuminate the pixels that make up the image on your screen. In a normal LED screen, this backlight consists of several hundred LEDs (light-emitting diodes).
Mini LEDs employ a similar concept but on a much smaller scale. Rather than hundreds of larger LEDs, a Mini LED backlight features thousands of much smaller LEDs. These minuscule light emitters are organized into thousands of “local dimming zones.”
It has a much finer control of what parts of the screen are light and dark because there are so many more LEDs crammed into the same amount of space. This exact control is what leads to better picture quality.
Benefits of Mini LED: HDR and Local Dimming
What Mini LED really brings to the table are huge gains in its HDR and local dimming capabilities. Now, let us dissect (charted) what that entails.
What is Local Dimming?
Local dimming refers to the capacity of a display to lower or completely eliminate the backlight in localized regions on the screen. Scenes with dark areas, such as a night sky filled with stars, allow a display with good local dimming to switch off the backlight behind the black elements of the image, while leaving the stars still shining brightly. This provides deeper blacks and increases the contrast ratio, resulting in a more lifelike image.
LED displays have a few dimming zones with limited ability to control the light. So you may get “the halo” effect with the light bleeding from the bright object into nearby dark regions.
What Mini LED Does to Enhance Local Dimming
It is possible to have thousands of dimming zones on a Mini LED display. The increase is so massive that it enables ultra-precise light manipulation. It allows for very minimal localized dimming of the backlight, so no neighbor zones get affected. This results in the halo effect being reduced almost to nothing, leading to:
- Blacker blacks: In dark scenes, blacks are actually black rather than a washed-out gray.
- Increased Contrast: The color values of the lightest and darkest areas in the image differ significantly from one another.
- Expanded Dynamic Range: Dark scenes lose detail in shadows? Not now!
How Mini LED Enhances HDR
HDR content is intended to provide more colors and brightness levels than standard (low gamma) content. For HDR to sing, a screen has to crank up very high, then drop deep into inky blackness.
Enter Mini LED, which is where the latter goes. Since the small LEDs can be driven harder — without overheating or light bleeding — the tech enables vastly higher peak brightness levels. Combine this extreme brightness with the deep local dimming that the TV achieves, and you have a beautiful H.D.R. experience. It makes highlights jump out, colors more vivid and lifelike, and the resulting image more compelling.
