Here are the key LED screen technology trends showcased at ISE 2025 in Barcelona:
1. COB Technology Dominance
• Chip-on-Board (COB) LED displays are a major focus at ISE 2025. COB technology offers enhanced image quality, higher brightness, and lower power consumption compared to traditional SMD LEDs. The compact design of COB LEDs allows for thinner and more flexible panels, making them ideal for large-scale displays.
• COB LED screens are becoming a key solution for events, concerts, and exhibitions due to their superior resolution and seamless integration. Some experts predict that COB could even surpass SMD in market share.
2. High Brightness and Fine-Pitch Displays
• There is a significant push toward high-brightness and ultra-fine-pitch LED displays. For example, DynaScan showcased its 1.8mm fine-pitch high-brightness LED displays. These advancements reflect the broader industry trend towards better clarity, brightness, and versatility in LED technology.
3. AI Integration
• AI-powered LED displays are becoming more prevalent. Companies like Samsung and LG are integrating more AI functions directly into the screens, such as automatic upscaling. For example, LG’s Kinetic LED display at ISE 2025 uses AI to create dynamic and interactive visual experiences.
4. Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
• Energy-efficient LED solutions are a major trend, driven by the need for greener technology. COB LEDs are particularly noted for their energy efficiency and lower power consumption. Additionally, manufacturers are focusing on remote device management to further enhance sustainability.
5. Innovative Applications and Solutions
• Customized and interactive solutions are being highlighted. For example, LG’s Kinetic LED display not only offers high visual impact but also integrates AI to transform user-uploaded images into artistic styles, creating engaging advertising experiences.
• The integration of LED displays with other technologies, such as projection mapping and cloud-based AV management, is also a notable trend. This integration aims to create more immersive and adaptable AV experiences.
6. Large-Scale and Immersive Displays
• Ultra-large LED screens are being showcased to demonstrate the potential of LED technology in creating immersive environments. For example, Samsung’s 462” The Wall media facade and 115” 4K Smart Signage display are designed to captivate audiences with their immersive visuals.
These trends indicate that the LED display industry is moving towards higher performance, greater energy efficiency, and more interactive and immersive experiences, driven by advancements in COB technology, AI integration, and innovative applications.
