ICDT 2026, Micro-LED Product Exhibition and Technology Trends
At the ICDT 2026 Display Symposium, it was confirmed that Mini/Micro-LED technology is being commercialized alongside technological development by many companies.
High-quality, ultra-large micro-LED panels were exhibited, manufactured using tiling on glass substrates rather than COB substrates. Micro-LED panels utilizing glass substrates are gradually expanding their presence in the ultra-large premium TV market due to their narrow pitch. BOE exhibited an 81-inch (2K, P0.9) TV combining Micro-LED chips with a TFT substrate and plans to begin mass production this year. Visionox exhibited a 135-inch (4K, P0.7) product featuring a micro-LED panel manufactured on a TFT substrate developed by Vistar.

Expectations are growing for Micro-LEDs with high brightness and reliability as automotive displays. Tianma showcased 7-inch and 19-inch high-brightness (>5,000 nits) transparent Micro-LEDs for automotive applications. They feature a transmittance of 60%, a reflectance of less than 2.5%, and an outer border of less than 0.1 mm. While visibility has been enhanced by the high brightness, transmittance needs improvement for automotive applications. Currently undergoing evaluation by clients, their application in automobiles is anticipated.

TCL CSOT also showcased a 14.3” ultra-high brightness (panel brightness: 45,000 nits) P-HUD Display and a 4.6” AR-HUD. Micro-LED transparent displays can enhance spatial transparency, technical appeal, and intuitive interaction, so a commercial market is expected to open within a few years.

Regarding AR devices using Micro-LEDs, TCL CSOT exhibited a 0.05-inch (5080 PPI) Green Mono display product and a 0.28” (5131 PPI) single-substrate Full Color device. At the Micro-LED Technology Forum, discussions focused on improving key core technologies—such as Epi Wafer, Micro-LED chip technology, Mass Transfer and Bonding, and Inspection and Repair—as well as strategies for reducing product costs to expand the Micro-LED product market. It was evident that comprehensive cooperation among material, component, equipment, and panel manufacturers is further necessary for the rapid market penetration of Micro-LED display products.
A report published by UBI Research summarized development cases and technical issues regarding companies developing Quantum Dot (QD) conversion single-chip full-color technology.
