TCL CSOT Launches Mass Production of P1.2 COB Mini-LED Displays, Accelerating Commercialization
Dateline: Suzhou, China | August 23, 2025
TCL CSOT has achieved a critical milestone with the mass production launch of its P1.2-pitch COB Mini-LED displays at its Suzhou manufacturing base. The product, featuring adjustable brightness (0-800 nits) and a 5,000:1 contrast ratio, was completed 15 days ahead of schedule, signaling TCL’s aggressive entry into the competitive LED direct-view market.
The P1.2 COB technology targets high-value scenarios including command centers, corporate boardrooms, and security monitoring systems. Its commercialization marks a strategic shift for panel giants traditionally focused on LCD and OLED technologies, now positioning COB as the "third pillar" of display solutions.
Industry Impact:
Supply Chain Reshaping: TCL CSOT’s move follows BOE’s showcase of an 81.3-inch P0.9 COB display and a 1.5-meter spherical LED screen at DIC EXPO 2025, highlighting panel giants’ dominance in high-end LED direct-view applications.
Global Competition: With HKC investing $1.4 billion in Mini/Micro LED chip plants and AUO, Innolux, and Samsung expanding COB production capacities, the market is poised for a price war. Analysts project COB’s market share in fine-pitch displays (<P1.0) will exceed 70% by 2027.
Technical Edge: The production leverages advanced flip-chip COB packaging, eliminating wire bonding to enhance thermal management and achieve IP67-rated durability. This enables seamless tiling for large-scale video walls—a key demand driver for smart city and control room projects.
News 2: CEDA Electronics Debuts World’s First 0.3mm-Pitch Micro-LED Display, Redefining Visual Fidelity
Dateline: Shenzhen, China | August 23, 2025
CEDA Electronics has unveiled the industry’s highest-resolution Micro-LED display with a pixel pitch of 0.3mm, setting a new benchmark for ultra-fine visual experiences. The innovation, part of CEDA’s "Obsidian Series," integrates proprietary flip-chip COB technology to deliver 2000 nits brightness, 30,000:1 contrast ratio, and a 7680Hz refresh rate—critical for applications demanding cinematic clarity and real-time rendering.
Key Innovations:
Micro-LED on Glass Substrate: By bonding 20×40μm Micro-LED chips directly onto glass substrates, CEDA eliminates color shift and achieves 115% NTSC color gamut coverage, outperforming OLED in brightness and longevity (>100,000 hours).
Energy Efficiency: The display uses "Cool Screen Pro" technology to reduce operating temperatures by 35%, cutting power consumption by 40% compared to conventional SMD LEDs.
Target Applications:
Virtual Production Studios: Supports 8K HDR content with near-zero latency (<1ms), enabling filmmakers to replace green screens with real-time digital backdrops.
Medical Imaging: Paired with AI upscaling algorithms, it provides radiologists with artifact-free visualization of micro-anomalies in CT/MRI scans.
Market Strategy: CEDA plans to showcase the technology at the 26th China International Optoelectronic Expo in September 2025, targeting AR glasses manufacturers and smart cockpit designers. Industry observers note this breakthrough could accelerate Micro-LED adoption in consumer electronics, currently hindered by yield and cost challenges.
