As brands and panel manufacturers continue to optimize Micro LED TV technology and costs, Micro LED TV shipments are expected to grow steadily year by year and be introduced into the home theater, exhibition display, corporate conference and educational space markets. At the same time, technological innovation shows the development towards large-size LTPS to reduce the dependence on side wiring. Application innovation is also foreseeable, Micro LED transparent display is suitable for retail department stores, art and cultural spaces, and hospitality industries.
Starting in 2025, mainstream specifications for LED all-in-one machines will once again move towards an aspect ratio of 16:9, with 135-inch 2K P1.5 LED all-in-one machines being the main type. The foldable design makes them easier to transport, helping businesses reduce operating costs (Cost of Ownership). According to a survey by TrendForce, COB technology can improve color uniformity, contrast, and viewing angle display performance.
According to TrendForce analysis, as the price of LED displays declines, the popularity of LED rental displays continues to rise. Various live events, sports competitions, and other activities are increasingly using LED display products to create spectacular on-site effects.
In the long term, with the growing popularity of LED rental displays, it is expected that the market could reach USD 2.244 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate of 8% from 2024 to 2029. High-end LED rental displays need to feature high brightness, high refresh rates, high resolution, energy efficiency, product stability, lightweight design, and easy installation and dismantling.
According to research by TrendForce, in the application of LED outdoor displays, advertising/billboards, transportation/variable message signs (VMS), and sports/education are expected to continue stable growth through 2026. Outdoor small-pitch products are applied in street furniture displays and bus shelter advertising displays.
To meet display requirements, LED outdoor small-pitch displays are gradually adopting 4-in-1 Mini LED, 1010 LED (Flip Chip), Mini LED (COB), and MiP technologies. The advantage of Mini LED (COB) technology lies in its high pixel density and excellent display performance, which is why LED display manufacturers are actively introducing Mini LED (COB) technology in the outdoor small-pitch display market.
