Why 2023 OLED TVs Will Be the Brightest & Best Yet _ MLA (Micro Lens Array) Explained

MLA Essentially Eliminates Saturation Loss

MLA essentially eliminates that so it took something that was already pretty great and made it even better I approve two thumbs up and three snaps in A Z formation now digging a bit deeper these micro lenses are so incredibly tiny that LG display can fit just over 5,000 of them over a single Pixel and that adds up to about 42.4 billion total on a 77 inch OLED panel for example let's take a moment to Marvel at what it took to make that happen I don't know about you but I'm impressed I mean it's so simple and yet achieving it must have been monumentally complicated so that's the hardware or physical component LG display also claims there's a software or algorithmic processing element to this as well that's the other part of the so-called meta technology as LG display calls it or brightness booster Max technology as LG Electronics calls it the percentage of which this processing Voodoo is responsible for the end result a brighter TV with better HDR performance is unclear but my gut tells me that pointing to processing as an important part of this complete technology package is kind of like saying that Frosted Flakes is an important part of this complete breakfast when really the protein is coming from the eggs and bacon and the vitamins are coming from a glass of orange juice but I digress so what's the end result meant to be well by the Numbers a wrgb panel with MLA is claimed to be capable of producing up to 2100 nits of brightness cook the books a bit and one could claim that it is capable of 150 50 percent more brightness in some cases and they do claim that in reality though HDR highlights are significantly improved and average Picture level just general picture brightness is also increased in fact and this won't be proven until we've actually tested this new tech in these new OLED displays but I feel pretty optimistic that the days of claiming OLED TVs aren't good bright room TVs or daytime TVs are probably at least starting to come to a close so that's the good news here right MLA has the potential to address one of the few issues that might cause a consumer to take pause when considering buying an OLED TV the only lingering concerns then would be added cost and risk of burn-ins now clearly LG display would like for OLED to become the new standard TV panel Tech displacing LCD entirely because LG display would like to sell all the panels to everyone makes good business but Samsung display is a over here with qdo lead like that's cute LG display but cutie OLED is brighter too and not only that but its brightness is enhanced without the need for MLA or its added cost and since no white subpixel is involved the color brightness is going to be better and more pure than your MLA thing that may well be a scientific fact but I think there are two other more important factors at play here one is that LG display is a massive OLED panel maker with both of its feet planted very firmly in the business and in a great position to spread its panel love across the entire tech industry cutie OLED is still relatively new and suffering from this Tech is as yet unproven concerns even if those concerns aren't necessarily well founded the other thing worth considering is perception while it's scientifically measurable and proven that the color Purity and color brightness of a QD OLED is superior to a w RGB OLED with a white sub pixel what really matters is people's perception look if colors look bright vivid and well saturated on an MLA OLED and it's affordable enough to get that picture that's what matters at the end of the day most folks don't shop using measurement data sheets they make decisions based on what their eyes see and folks this MLA Tech in OLED panels looks outstanding at no point was I standing in front of LG's TVs or LG displays panels and thinking you know that magenta looks bright but I think it might be a little washed out nope that magenta looked fire AF folks are going to be dazzled by how these TVs and computer monitors with MLA or brightness booster backs or whatever you call it they're going to be thrilled with how they look will you want it yeah I think you will I mean do you need it that remains to be seen but I can't wait to find out so yeah MLA is a cool clever technology It's very effective and it's going to make OLED TVs look even better while also making for a fun battle between wrgb OLED TVs and cutie OLED TVs I for one can't wait to compare the LG G3 against the Samsung s95c that is going to be a hell of a TV battle

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enit's been rumored for a few months and with CES 2023 we got concrete confirmation there is yet another TV acronym to assimilate MLA what is it how does it work and do you need it or want it let's talk about that welcome back everyone I'm Caleb Dennison and today I want to talk about MLA or micro lens array technology I'm sorry there's another TV acronym to learn about and try to remember but that's the TV tech Biz so here I am trying to make it easier to understand good news is it's actually pretty clever and effective so let's talk about what it is how it works where you can get it and whether it's worth spending a little extra to get and hey if you like that sort of thing do me a solid and click some buttons down below this video also I love reading your comments so knock yourself out on that we do so appreciate it okay here we go so first off I'm sorry to report that MLA is not necessarily the term that will be used when it's referred to in marketing materials whether that's in the item description at your favorite online retailer or printed right on the box you won't necessarily see MLA or even micro lens array in explicit terms I know the marketing machine strikes again thanks for making it so simple guys but the good news is is that Panasonic will be right out there spelling out that some of its OLED TVs will have Micro lens array simple easy bless you Panasonic LG Electronics on the other hand will be calling attention to brightness booster Max at least in its TVs now how MLA will appear in computer monitors from LG and other brands like Asus I have no idea and honestly I don't have space in my brain for that fortunately our Computing team does and I'm sure they'll tell you all about it point being MLA will appear in both TVs and computer monitors but it will not be appearing in all OLED TVs and computer monitors it's a bonus uh buy up if you will for instance LG's C3 OLED will not have MLA Tech but it's G3 OLED TVs Will adding somewhat to the naming convention confusion is that LG display which makes all the wrgb OLED panels that have MLA doesn't itself call the tag MLA it it calls the technology meta that's all caps m-e-t-a and no Mark Zuckerberg has nothing to do with it moving on whatever it ends up being called the tech itself is pretty clever essentially it fixes a problem that most of us didn't even know existed turns out that the past 10 Generations or so of wrgb OLED panels and I make that distinction for a reason that I'll get to in just a moment well it turns out those panels had a light scatter problem that is as the light from the organic light emitting compounds in an OLED TV traveled through various layers on its way to getting to your eyes layers including but not limited to a color filter well that light was lost the light bounced to and fro all willy-nilly and was just kind of lost to the ether actually I think technically speaking much of that lost light energy probably dissipated as heat and that's not great I mean you would want your OLED TV to give you all the light and OLED TV is not an efficient way to heat your home all so what MLA does is it helps to prevent that light scatter essentially harnessing it and directing it toward your eyeballs it's actually a very smart way to make the lead panels brighter this way they don't have to create more energy they just prevent energy loss and there are several benefits to that very efficient approach not the least of which is no added potential for burn-in so how does MLA harness the light and feed it to your eyes creating a brighter OLED picture well it's all in the name that I wish everyone would use micro lenses as animated in this video released by LG display which I link to below because you have got to check out how cringy the voiceover work is it's a riot anyway in this video you can see that LG display claims to have used a dragonfly's eyes as inspiration they created a film layer with millions of tiny micro lenses that essentially catch light where it would normally scatter and instead routed out toward the viewer also off angle viewing is improved that's really where the dragonfly inspiration thing starts to make sense OLED was already noticeably better off axis than lcd-based TVs but there was still a bit of color shift and saturation loss MLA essentially eliminates that so it took something that was already pretty great and made it even better I approve two thumbs up and three snaps in A Z formation now digging a bit deeper these micro lenses are so incredibly tiny that LG display can fit just over 5 000 of them over a single Pixel and that adds up to about 42.4 billion total on a 77 inch OLED panel for example let's take a moment to Marvel at what it took to make that happen I don't know about you but I'm impressed I mean it's so simple and yet achieving it must have been monumentally complicated so that's the hardware or physical component LG display also claims there's a software or algorithmic processing element to this as well that's the other part of the so-called meta technology as LG display calls it or brightness booster Max technology as LG Electronics calls it the percentage of which this processing Voodoo is responsible for the end result a brighter TV with better HDR performance is unclear but my gut tells me that pointing to processing as an important part of this complete technology package is kind of like saying that Frosted Flakes is an important part of this complete breakfast when really the protein is coming from the eggs and bacon and the vitamins are coming from a glass of orange juice but I digress so what's the end result meant to be well by the Numbers a wrgb panel with MLA is claimed to be capable of producing up to 2100 nits of brightness cook the books a bit and one could claim that it is capable of 150 50 percent more brightness in some cases and they do claim that in reality though HDR highlights are significantly improved and average Picture level just general picture brightness is also increased in fact and this won't be proven until we've actually tested this new tech in these new OLED displays but I feel pretty optimistic that the days of claiming OLED TVs aren't good bright room TVs or daytime TVs are probably at least starting to come to a close so that's the good news here right MLA has the potential to address one of the few issues that might cause a consumer to take pause when considering buying an OLED TV the only lingering concerns then would be added cost and risk of burn-ins now clearly LG display would like for OLED to become the new standard TV panel Tech displacing LCD entirely because LG display would like to sell all the panels to everyone makes good business but Samsung display is a over here with qdo lead like that's cute LG display but cutie OLED is brighter too and not only that but its brightness is enhanced without the need for MLA or its added cost and since no white subpixel is involved the color brightness is going to be better and more pure than your MLA thing that may well be a scientific fact but I think there are two other more important factors at play here one is that LG display is a massive OLED panel maker with both of its feet planted very firmly in the business and in a great position to spread its panel love across the entire tech industry cutie OLED is still relatively new and suffering from this Tech is as yet unproven concerns even if those concerns aren't necessarily well founded the other thing worth considering is perception while it's scientifically measurable and proven that the color Purity and color brightness of a QD OLED is superior to a w RGB OLED with a white sub pixel what really matters is people's perception look if colors look bright vivid and well saturated on an MLA OLED and it's affordable enough to get that picture that's what matters at the end of the day most folks don't shop using measurement data sheets they make decisions based on what their eyes see and folks this MLA Tech in OLED panels looks outstanding at no point was I standing in front of LG's TVs or LG displays panels and thinking you know that magenta looks bright but I think it might be a little washed out nope that magenta looked fire AF folks are going to be dazzled by how these TVs and computer monitors with MLA or brightness booster backs or whatever you call it they're going to be thrilled with how they look will you want it yeah I think you will I mean do you need it that remains to be seen but I can't wait to find out so yeah MLA is a cool clever technology It's very effective and it's going to make OLED TVs look even better while also making for a fun battle between wrgb OLED TVs and cutie
