Abstract: Miniaturized-light-emitting diode (mini-LED) backlights have emerged as the state-of-the-art technology for liquid crystal display (LCD), facilitating the improvement in a high dynamic range (HDR) and power saving. The local dimming technology divides the backlight into several dimming zones. Employing mini-LEDs, whose size ranges from 100 to 200 μm, as the light sources can enlarge the number of zones in the local dimming backlight, fulfilling the requirement for HDR. However, the halo effect still acts as one of the primary technological bottlenecks for mini-LED backlights. In this review, packaging technology of LEDs, color conversion, and the driving scheme of mini-LED backlights have been discussed. The strategies to reduce optical crosstalk in adjacent areas by various improved optical structures or to suppress the halo effect of LCDs by mini-LED backlights are summarized. The development trends of mini-LED backlights are also discussed. Keywords: mini-LED; backlight; local dimming; optical crosstalk; halo effect
