Tianma is showing two new microLED display prototypes at SID Displayweek 2026. The first the company's first automotive tiled transparent display, a 19" 60% transparency prototype. The display uses three ultra-narrow-border panels joined with high-accuracy tiling to create a continuous viewing surface without visible seams.
The second display is a 12" microLED IRIS HUD, a that features a full-color microLED display designed for head-up display applications requiring extreme brightness and compact integration. Tianma says that with peak brightness exceeding 120,000 nits, the display maintains clear readability even under strong direct sunlight. The whole display engine is only 2 mm thick, and the thermal components are directly bonded to the TFT glass - thus supporting efficient heat dissipation and stable operation at ultra-high brightness. The design incorporates a fully transparent front-window optical structure without a black masking layer, preserving the driver’s field of view and enabling new HUD form factors.
In November 2025, Tianma announced that it has made a significant breakthrough in its transparent microLED automotive technology. The company did not share many details, but it is accelerating its automotive microLED R&D.
In 2022, Tianma Microelectronics announced plans to establish a $164 million full-process microLED pilot line, in Xiamen. Later in 2024 Tianma said that the production line has commenced trial production. In August 2025, Tianma updated that its production line has started to produce standard display panels, in small batches. This is an important step for the company. Tianma says that its first standard product is a 7-inch automotive display.
