A new microLED fabrication technique known as vertical stacking has been discovered by researchers at MIT, which could provide us with the ultimate gaming monitor that we have been looking for. The vertical stacking process involves stacking microLEDs to pack more LEDs into a smaller area, thus avoiding defects associated with high pixel density.

The issue with high-resolution gaming monitors is finding the balance between pixel density, resolution, and monitor size. MicroLED technology has seen pixel density improve, but it is impossible to pack enough LEDs next to each other into the kind of panel size that would be acceptable to have on your desk while keeping high resolution and pixel density.

 

The smallest panel currently using microLED technology is Samsung's new MicroLED CX, which is fine if you are using it from a distance, but not when placing it on a desk. The same problem arises in virtual reality, with the screen door effect being inevitable if manufacturers skimp on pixel density.

 

While the technology is still in its early stages, the discovery of this innovative stacking technique brings hope to those searching for a solution to the issues of high-resolution gaming monitors. The future of gaming could be shaped by this technology, creating the ultimate gaming experience.

 

PC Gamer suggests that microLEDs could be a part of gaming's future, especially as the industry heads towards more augmented and virtual reality experiences. The future of gaming could very well include 5,000 ppi displays, with larger resolutions and pixel densities that are unparalleled.
