Omdia: LED Video Display Market Grows Steadily in 1Q25, Driven by Micro-LED Adoption and Fine Pixel Pitch Demand
LONDON, June 16, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global LED video display shipments reached 408,000 square meters and generated $1.3 billion in revenue in Q1 2025, marking year-over-year (YoY) growth of 6.2% and 4.3%, respectively, according to Omdia's latest LED Video Displays Market Tracker. This growth was driven by rising adoption across cinema, education, and corporate environments. "The first quarter of 2025 confirmed that the LED video display market is evolving beyond traditional applications," said Cindy Liu , Senior Analyst at Omdia. "With advances in pixel pitch technology and micro-LED, adoption is widening across multiple industries." Micro-LED, and mini-LED technologies continued gaining traction supported by progress in LED packaging, driver ICs and coating materials. These innovations improve brightness, energy efficiency, lifespan, HDR capabilities, and color accuracy – positioning LED displays as the premium option for cinema, retail, broadcast and control room applications. "Vendors are responding to demand for seamless and flexible LED solutions in events, exhibitions and architectural displays. For example, Unilumin's UMicro series now offers 0.4mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm and 0.9mm pixel pitches using flip chip and ink with coating technologies to boost grayscale consistency and thermal performance," explained Liu. Fine pixel pitch (FPP) displays dominated revenues in Q1 2025, increasing by 8.1% YoY, accounting for 55.4% of the market. The 1.50–1.99mm pixel pitch category was 11.1% YoY, driven by demand for all in one (AIO) corporate, conference room displays and outdoor poster displays. These offer a balance between resolution and brightness enabling new opportunities in retail, transportation, shelter and residential area scenarios. As costs and thermal management challenges remain, FPP and micro-LED are expected to penetrate outdoor applications, including digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising. This momentum is particularly visible across emerging markets. In Asia & Oceania, as well as Latin America & the Caribbean and Middle East & Africa, growth is being powered by urbanization, digital advertising expansion, smart city initiatives, and large-scale public events. In Q1 2025, Asia & Oceania recorded the highest revenue share in the FPP segment - 15.6% trailing only China and North America. In the 1.50–1.99mm pixel pitch, the region led globally with a 20.2% share surpassing North America. Government-driven smart city and infrastructure programs in India, Indonesia and Singapore are lifting demand in transportation, control room, public space and corporate verticals. Retailers are also rapidly adopting LED video displays for indoor and outdoor advertising. In the Middle East & Africa, momentum from mega events like the 2022 FIFA World Cup continues to benefit the market. High-end retail and hospitality in cities like Dubai and Doha have adopted FPP LED video displays for branding. Regional governments are also investing in smart city initiatives such as Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and the UAE's Smart Dubai which are accelerating demand for public space installations. In Latin America, the forecast remains strong due to rising DOOH advertising, upgrades in sports venues and growth in the retail and banking sectors. Preparations for Copa America and the 2030 World Cup are driving demand for LED video displays in stadiums, retail, transportation and public space verticals.

JBD's ARTCs Image-Quality Engine Goes Commercial, Elevating Full-Color MicroLED Waveguide AR Glasses to an Unprecedented Visual Standard
SHANGHAI, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As a global leader in MicroLED microdisplay technology, JBD has announced that its proprietary, system-level image-quality engine for waveguide AR Glasses—ARTCs—has been fully integrated into RayNeo's flagship product, RayNeo X3 Pro, ushering in a fundamentally refreshed visual experience for full-color MicroLED waveguide AR Glasses. The engine's core hardware module, ARTCs-WG, has been deployed on RayNeo's production lines, paving the way for high-volume manufacturing of AR Glasses. This alliance not only marks ARTCs' transition from a laboratory proof of concept to industrial-scale deployment, but also adds fresh momentum into the near-eye AR display arena. Breaking Through Technical Barriers to Ignite an AR Image-Quality Revolution Waveguide-based virtual displays have long been plagued by luminance non-uniformity and color shift, flaws that seriously diminish the AR viewing experience. In 2024, JBD answered this persistent pain point with ARTCs—the industry's first image-quality correction solution for AR waveguides—alongside its purpose-built, high-volume production platform, ARTCs-WG. Through light-engine-side processing and proprietary algorithms, the system lifts overall luminance uniformity in MicroLED waveguide AR Glasses from "< 40 %" to "> 80 %" and drives the color difference ΔE down from "> 0.1" to "≈ 0.02." The payoff is the removal of color cast and graininess and a dramatic step-up in waveguide display quality. While safeguarding the thin-and-light form factor essential to full-color waveguide AR Glasses, the ARTCs engine further unleashes MicroLED's intrinsic advantages—high brightness, low power consumption, and compact size—rendering images more natural and vibrant and markedly enhancing user perception. ARTCs fully resolves waveguide non-uniformity, ensuring that every pair of waveguide AR Glasses delivers premium visuals. It not only satisfies consumer expectations for high-grade imagery, but also eliminates the chief technical roadblock that has throttled large-scale adoption of full-color waveguide AR Glasses, opening a clear runway for market expansion and mass uptake. Empowering Intelligent-Manufacturing Upgrades at the Device Level Thanks to its breakthrough in visual performance, ARTCs has captured broad industry attention. As a pioneer in consumer AR Glasses, RayNeo has leveraged its formidable innovation capabilities to become the first company to embed ARTCs both in its full-color MicroLED waveguide AR Glasses RayNeo X3 Pro and on its mass-production lines. During onsite deployment at RayNeo, the ARTCs engine demonstrated exceptional adaptability and efficiency: One-stop system-level calibration – Hardware-level DEMURA aligns the MicroLED microdisplay and the waveguide into a single, optimally corrected optical system. Rapid line integration – Provides standardized, automated testing and image-quality calibration for AR waveguide Glasses, seamlessly supporting OEM/ODM and end-device production lines. Scalable mass-production support – Supplies robust assurance for rapid product ramp-up and time-to-market. RayNeo founder and CEO Howie Li remarked, "As the world's leading MicroLED microdisplay provider, JBD has always been one of our strategic partners. The introduction of the ARTCs engine delivers a striking boost in display quality for RayNeo X3 Pro. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with JBD and continually injecting fresh vitality into the near-eye AR display industry." JBD CEO Li Qiming added, "RayNeo was among the earliest global explorers of AR Glasses. Over many years, RayNeo and JBD have advanced together, relentlessly pursuing higher display quality and technological refinement. Today, in partnership with RayNeo, we have launched ARTCs to tackle brightness and color-uniformity challenges inherent to pairing MicroLED microdisplays with diffractive waveguides, and we have successfully implemented it in RayNeo X3 Pro. This confirms that JBD has translated laboratory-grade image-correction technology into reliable, large-scale commercial practice, opening new growth opportunities for near-eye AR displays. I look forward to jointly ushering in a new chapter of high-fidelity AR." JBD will continue to focus on MicroLED microdisplays and the ARTCs image-quality engine, deepening its commitment to near-eye AR displays. The company will drive consumer AR Glasses toward ever-better image fidelity, lighter form factors, and all-day wearability—bringing cutting-edge AR technology into everyday life at an accelerated pace.
