AI and the Law – InvokeAI Got a Copyright for an Image Made Entirely With AI. Here’s How
The image, called A Single Piece of American Cheese, was created using Invoke’s AI editing platform.
In a side by side look, you can see how the original (left, screenshotted from the time lapse creation video) was edited to become the final image (right).

Micro LED displays
Micro LED displays are a cutting-edge technology that promise significant improvements over existing display methods like OLED and LCD. By using tiny, individual LEDs for each pixel, these displays can deliver exceptional brightness, contrast, and energy efficiency. Their inherent durability and superior performance make them an attractive option for high-end consumer electronics, wearable devices, and even large-scale display panels.
The technology is seen as the future of display innovation, aiming to merge high-quality visuals with low power consumption and long-lasting performance.Despite their advantages, micro LED displays face substantial manufacturing hurdles that have slowed their mass-market adoption. The production process requires the precise transfer and alignment of millions of microscopic LEDs onto a substrate—a task that is both technically challenging and cost-intensive. Issues with yield, scalability, and quality control continue to persist, making it difficult to achieve the economies of scale necessary for widespread commercial use. As industry leaders invest heavily in research and development to overcome these obstacles, the technology remains on the cusp of becoming a viable alternative to current display technologies.

Basically, gamma is the relationship between the brightness of a pixel as it appears on the screen, and the numerical value of that pixel. Generally Gamma is just about defining relationships.
Three main types:
– Image Gamma encoded in images
– Display Gammas encoded in hardware and/or viewing time
– System or Viewing Gamma which is the net effect of all gammas when you look back at a final image. In theory this should flatten back to 1.0 gamma.
