JBD showcased its latest products, including a 0.1-inch Micro-LED microdisplay and the Hummingbird II color light engine. The X-Cube structure achieved an ultra-compact size of 0.2cc and an ultra-light weight of 0.5g. Goeroptics showcased a product utilizing Micro-LED full color (X-cube) and silicon carbide etched light guide technology, achieving a 30° field of view and a weight of 4g.
Across the board, companies achieved breakthroughs in various technologies, including three-color combination, color conversion, and vertical stacking. Amidst the trend toward lightweight design, the “Micro-LED + light waveguide” solution has become a relatively mainstream technology. The exhibited products show that the size of Micro-LED light engines is gradually shrinking from 0.13 inches to 0.1 inches and even 0.06 inches, demonstrating the rapid advancement of this technology toward smaller volumes and higher brightness.
