 Highlight 1: World’s First 1080P Full HD Micro-LED Microdisplay

One of Sitan’s flagship products at this exhibition was the world’s first and industry-leading 1080P full HD Micro-LED microdisplay. This groundbreaking product achieves a resolution of 1920×1080 for the first time in a 0.45-inch Micro-LED microdisplay, delivering over one million nits of brightness and an ultra-high contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. It is ideal for automotive AR-HUD and other diverse applications. With innovations in color gamut, brightness, compact size, and power consumption, it meets the market’s demand for lightweight and stylish products. The company plans to officially launch a full-color version of this product in the second half of 2023.

Highlight 2: 0.18-Inch Single-Screen Full-Color Display Module

The commercialization of single-screen full-color Micro-LEDs is a critical challenge for large-scale AR/XR applications. Sitan exhibited its 0.18-inch single-screen full-color display at SID Display Week, which delivers full-color brightness exceeding hundreds of thousands of nits and covers 167.2% of the sRGB and 120.4% of the NTSC color gamut. Even when integrated with optical waveguides, the display maintains vivid colors and clarity, enabling Micro-LED AR/XR glasses to support image and video display in addition to information prompts, thus expanding consumer-level application scenarios.

Highlight 3: From Shenzhen Pilot Line to Mass Production in Xiamen

Micro-LED technology poses significant technical challenges. Leveraging over 20 years of expertise, Sitan’s team has completed technology transfer, material validation, and process optimization on its self-built pilot line in Shenzhen. Currently, the first phase of Sitan’s mass production line is operational in Xiamen, with an annual capacity of tens of millions of Micro-LED displays, positioning the company to meet the industry’s future explosive growth.

Two young researchers from the Sitan Micro-LED Research Institute, Dr. Feng Feng and Dr. Liu Yibo, were both recognized as “Young Display Leaders” by SID for their ongoing innovation and contributions to Micro-LED display technology. Following Dr. Zhang Ke, who received this honor in April, Sitan now celebrates its second and third “Young Display Leaders,” further highlighting the company’s growing talent pool.

Highlight 5: SID EMQ Committee Welcomes a New Member

The SID EMQ Technical Committee (Emissive, Micro-LED & QD Technical Committee) is one of SID’s core technical committees, with a 35-year history. The EMQ Committee currently consists of 24 technical members from leading companies such as Apple, Intel, Samsung, Meta, and BOE, as well as experts from research institutions like LETI, UCF, FZU, and SUSTech. This year, the committee welcomed its 25th member—Professor Lars Samuelson, a leading nano-LED expert, Lund University professor, and founder of GLO. Professor Samuelson is also a visiting professor at Southern University of Science and Technology and a consultant to Sitan, further enhancing the committee’s expertise.
