Micro-LED displays face critical uniformity challenges at multiple scales. Individual pixels can vary in brightness by up to 20% due to epitaxial growth inconsistencies, while larger regions show systematic variations from transfer processes and current distribution patterns. These non-uniformities become particularly visible in high-resolution displays where pixel pitches approach 10 microns.

The fundamental challenge lies in maintaining consistent optical and electrical characteristics across millions of microscopic emitters while scaling production to commercially viable yields.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including optimized epitaxial growth patterns, multi-stage transfer techniques, advanced CMOS power distribution architectures, and compensating pixel structures. These and other approaches address uniformity both at the device level and across full display panels, with particular focus on manufacturing feasibility.
