In order to cope with the complexity and change of the airborne environment, airborne display is required to have high performances in weight, luminance, resolution, and heat dissipation. Micro-LED technology has problems such as low internal quantum efficiency of red LED and green LED, low heat transfer efficiency of the device, and difficulty in solving the driving scheme. Therefore, the technological maturity of Micro-LED is not yet able to meet the needs of airborne display for main displays and micro displays. However, Micro-LED has the incomparable advantages over LCD and OLED, such as high luminance, high resolution, and high pixel density, and is expected to be used in application scenarios such as head-up displays and main displays in airborne environments. This article reviews the research progress of Micro-LED, puts forward the technical problems of Micro-LED urgently to be solved, and discusses the possible solutions to related technical problems and the application prospects of Micro-LED on airborne. In short, Micro-LED's light weight, high luminance, high resolution and other characteristics are sufficient to meet the high requirements of airborne displays in terms of weight, luminance, and resolution. Theoretically, due to the excellent display characteristics of Micro-LED, Micro-LED display technology will become a new display technology with great advantages for airborne display.
