Despite its benefits over LCDs, it had no chance to compete on price. LCD prices just plummeted to far too fast.

OLED is the current equivalent (with perhaps QLED) and micro LED on the horizon.

The problem with MicroLED is that they remain very expensive to produce, so they may have no chance to compete on price, and the quality of OLED is getting better as well. Apple recently abandoned their MicroLED plans: https://www.yolegroup.com/strategy-insights/did-apple-just-k...

Yeah, and we can’t make them small enough either. But it seems like the probable next big thing to me. Just gotta solve some issues.

FED was also better than LCD, but it failed because of cost. The same thing could happen with MicroLED.

The death knell was that they couldn’t shrink the plasma cells enough to support 4K. LCD didn’t kill it, in the same sense that LCD doesn’t kill OLED.
