Taiwan-based panel semiconductor provider PanelSemi Corporation launched the world's first flexible active-matrix Mini-LED display at CES.

The display, called Primary, is a 55-inch HD resolution (1.2 mm pitch) miniLED direct-emission that is highly flexible, light (1 Kg for the whole display) and thin (1 mm thickness). It can be flexed to a concave, convex, s-curve, cylinder, and rollable shapes and four displays can easily be joined to create a 110-inch display. PanelSemi says that Primary is highly efficiency, and 4 hours of use can be driven by a single 10 K-mAh power bank.

Vuzix unveiled the Shield Smart Glasses for enterprise use, which are based on microLED microdisplays. The Shield is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR1 and features Vuzix' propriety waveguide optics.

The Shield was actually revealed before, referred to as Vuzix Next Generation Smart Glasses (NGSG). The company did not give any details on pricing and availability. Vuzix is using JBD's 0.13" microLED microdisplays.

LED developer Seoul Viosys announced a new technology called WICOP mp, that combines the company's no-wire, no-package WICOP tech with microLEDs to create so-called micro Pixels.

The company says that its WICOP technology makes it possible to populate brand-new semiconductor chips into a general manufacturing process directly without modification. Seoul Viosys says that using WICOP mc microPixels enables higher efficiency (as there's no efficiency degradation) and high density displays (up to 2000 PPI)

TCL announced the Leiniao AR smart glasses, which are based on color microLED displays.

It seems as this is not a ready product yet, but more of a concept. This device seems very similar to the Thunderbird Smart Glasses Pioneer Edition, which the company unveiled in October 2021 - which, we speculated, are based on JBD's monochrome 0.13" VGA microLED display engines.

MicroLED developer PlayNitride is showing a wide range of display prototypes at CES 2022, including two new displays.

The first new display is a 37-inch full-HD PixeLED Matrix panel made from tiled PCB-based microLED displays.

Samsung Electronics introduced two new MicroLED TVs sized 101-inch and 91-inch. Samsung's 2022 MicroLED TV range will include the 91-, 101- and 110-inch microLED TVs (the 110-inch already started shipping in 2021).

Samsung planned to introduce even smaller microLED TVs, but high prices delayed these plans. The 2022 microLED range features 20-bit contrast processing, 100% DCI-P3 and Adobe-RGB color gamut, up to four HDMI inputs and Dolby sound.
