A screen uses many tiny lights to show pictures. These lights are called microLEDs. The name means they are very small light-emitting diodes. A diode is a tiny part that lets out light. Each microLED works all by itself. This is different from some other screens. In many screens, a light sits behind the colors. In a microLED screen, the lights make the colors. This can make the colors look very bright. It can also make the colors look deep. This happens because the lights can turn off completely. When a light is off, you see dark colors. This makes the picture look very clear. These screens can be used for many things. They can be used for watches or big TVs. They can even be used for smart glasses. These screens are very small and very bright. They help us see better every day.
