Virtual reality might soon look more like real life.
MIT researchers have developed anew way to make sharper, defect-free displays.
The technique could produce screens with much higher pixel density and impact various gadgets, including televisions.

“So far, there hasn’t been a micro-LED display that could achieve this high pixel density.”
Manufacturers have found that LEDs are reaching a limit to how small they can be while also being practical.
Manufacturers currently put red, green, and blue light-emitting diodes side by side in a horizontal patchwork.

Shin said that Samsung and other companies have commercialized their micro-LED televisions in recent years.
They discovered a way to grow and peel away two-dimensional, single-crystalline material from silicon wafers and other surfaces.
They used the same method to grow ultrathin membranes of red, green, and blue LEDs.
