Abstract

A micro-LED display includes a first LED subpixel, a second LED subpixel, a third LED subpixel and a fourth LED subpixel. The first LED subpixel is configured to emit a red light. The second LED subpixel is configured to emit a green light. The third LED subpixel is configured to emit a blue light. The fourth LED subpixel is configured to emit a yellow light, in which the yellow light emitted by the fourth LED subpixel has a peak wavelength that satisfies λ p,Yellow,lower_limit <λ p . λ p,Yellow,lower_limit is a lower limit of the peak wavelength of the yellow light, λ p is the peak wavelength of the yellow light.

Claims (21)
