I’ve always wondered why they don’t just call them “luxel displays”.
By borrowing the term from graphic rendering that describes abstract platonic idealizations, it perfectly captures the meaning of “the holy grail of each pixel being an ideal self-contained light emitter”.
Engineers in general often seem overly fixated on naming things to describe “what the thing is made of” instead of “what the thing does”.
