Driven by multiple demands for green energy conservation, cost optimization, and efficient printing, the printer industry is entering a critical window of opportunity for technological iteration. As an innovative pioneer in MicroLED technology, JBD has officially launched its MicroLED printhead module, characterized by its small size, high speed, high precision, low power consumption, ultra-quiet operation, and enhanced reliability, aiming to provide printer manufacturers with more commercially valuable solutions.
Thanks to its continuous breakthroughs and innovations in MicroLED technology, JBD's microdisplay products have gained widespread recognition in the field of AR near-eye displays. This not only demonstrates JBD's profound strength in MicroLED technology, but also provides a solid foundation for its cross-domain innovation.
JBD MicroLED Printhead Module
Laser printing combines laser scanning and electrophotography technologies, corresponding to the processes of "photosensitive drum exposure" and "development and transfer." The surface of the photosensitive drum is coated with a photosensitive material, which generates a negative charge after "exposure," attracting positively charged toner and thus printing the entire image. Traditional laser printing modules are based on a point-by-point scanning scheme, gradually exposing from one point to a line, while MicroLED printhead modules use a simpler one-dimensional linear LED array, enabling rapid exposure of an entire line and significantly improving printing efficiency.
Currently, traditional laser printers, relying on complex optical and mechanical scanning structures, have long faced challenges such as large size, high noise, high energy consumption, and high maintenance costs. JBD's new MicroLED printhead product line not only provides the printer industry with an excellent light source technology solution, but will also assist printer products in achieving multi-faceted upgrades.
Small size: Compact design helps to "slim down" the equipment.
MicroLED modules have a simple structure, consisting of only one row of MicroLED pixel arrays and a set of cylindrical lenses. They do not require optical components such as reflectors, mechanical reflectors, and diffusion lenses found in laser modules, thus significantly reducing the space occupied by the equipment.
Ultra-quiet: Extremely low noise, creating a comfortable environment.
MicroLED modules use a pixel-to-pixel exposure method on the surface of the photosensitive drum, eliminating the mechanical scanning system of traditional laser light sources. This avoids the noise caused by mechanical rotation or movement, creating a quieter working environment for users, making them particularly suitable for offices, libraries, and other similar locations.
High Speed: Full-line Exposure, Improved Printing Efficiency <br /> Laser module exposure is a zero-dimensional solution, with its mechanical scanning based on step-by-step exposure of each point. The speed is limited by the mechanical rotation speed, resulting in low efficiency. MicroLED module exposure is a one-dimensional solution, achieving full-line exposure through a row of linear LEDs. Combined with the faster switching speed of LEDs, it significantly improves printing efficiency and saves users time.
MicroLED Printhead Module - Imaging Structure
Low power consumption: energy saving and consumption reduction, in line with the green trend
MicroLEDs boast high luminous efficiency and low power consumption, with a single light-emitting element consuming only microwatts (μW), resulting in a significant reduction in overall energy consumption compared to laser modules. This low energy consumption also aligns better with the global trend towards carbon neutrality, assisting end-product manufacturers in developing green and environmentally friendly printing products.
High precision: Precise control delivers perfect image quality.
The MicroLED printhead module supports 1200 DPI printing resolution and employs precise spot control technology, supporting multi-grayscale control to ensure sharp text and clear image detail. Thanks to the advantage of its small pixel size, the future MicroLED printing product line will also support 2400 DPI and 4800 DPI to meet the high-precision printing needs of specific scenarios.
More reliable: longer lifespan, reduced maintenance costs
MicroLEDs offer stable performance, with the T95 light-emitting element boasting a lifespan of up to 1000 hours. Their printhead modules utilize a solid-state structure, eliminating the need for mechanical parts and fundamentally avoiding the mechanical wear and failure risks common in laser modules, thus reducing potential maintenance costs. These characteristics not only demonstrate the economic advantages of MicroLED printhead modules in long-term use but also provide end-user manufacturers with a more reliable solution.
Leveraging the advantages of MicroLED technology in printhead modules, JBD is working closely with partners to accelerate product rollout and assist in the upgrading of the printing industry. JBD also provides customized solutions from LEDs to modules, precisely tailored to the individual needs of different manufacturers.
JBD is committed to driving industry progress through innovative technologies. The launch of its new MicroLED printhead product line not only brings groundbreaking solutions to the printing industry but also demonstrates the powerful potential of JBD MicroLED technology in cross-industry applications. In the future, we will continue to explore innovations in MicroLED technology, providing high-value solutions for more industries.
