Microled will prove very cheap when somebody figures out a good production process.

None of the materials are expensive.

The risk is that they patent that process and we have 20 years to wait till we get cheap screens.

More "if" rather than "when". It's far from obvious whether they will be successful. They just have a higher maximum brightness, and a large cost cut is not guaranteed.
