Crank them up a little more and they will glow due to reaching visible light territory :)

Perhaps leading to little pixel-sized photovoltaic cores that absorb light on one side, do a bit of computation at 400-800 THz and emit light on the other side, merging the display with the CPU. I've heard that VR goggles with 8K resolution per eye would be approaching the limit of the human eye's resolving power, which would be about 66 million cores.

Crank them up a little more and they will go into deep ultraviolet. Problem solved.

There is no problem here, marketing folks would love it :)

So would gamers.

"Nice LEDs bro" "Nah that's my CPU"
