because isn't that like sort of what OLED is right not really because OLED is kind of like a sandwich with a light emitting layer and stuff it is per pixel but they're not like literally LEDs like think of like an LED that you could buy for a little kit and shrink it real small that's not what OLED is it's the organic part of it that makes it susceptible to burn in it's kind of a sandwich right

actual micro led where every individual pixel has a red and green and blue light up led those exist you see them in stadiums because it's really easy to make them big because if it's in a stadium the red green and blue uh blue uh um

LEDs are huge.

Like, and so you just stick them.

It's like a light bright, right?

From close up, it looks terrible, but like across the stadium, it looks great.

Trying to get that down to a 4k 55 inch TV, do the math on how small those LEDs have to be.

And the problem is like the manufacturing, like, you know, do you have some way to manufacture that?

Like, I can't do the math on how many pixels there are in a 4k TV, but there's a lot.

And if you need to like place them individually and connect wires to them, that's not the way you do things.

You need to be able to essentially print them.

That's why they're like Japanese companies have these printable LEDs where you kind of use like an inkjet printer, kind of the same way they print the LCD stuff.

So far, there's been no manufacturing breakthrough.

So yeah,

that technology continues to be a curiosity for extremely rich people.

Uh, and it looks real cool at CES, but there's a bunch of other technologies too.

I like, I don't remember the acronyms off the top of my head, but there's a bunch of other ways to produce pixels that make light besides OLEDs.

They're just like in the experimental stage where they'll show like a postage stamp size, little experimental thing in a back room at CES and say, maybe someday we can make TVs out of this.

But yeah,

If someone actually eventually does it and it becomes manufacturable, I'm sure you'll hear about it here from me.
