The International Display Technology and Application Innovation Exhibition (DIC EXPO 2020) opened in Shanghai, China on June 22 and will run till June 24. At the event, Chinese display manufacturer BOE Technologies has unveiled several innovative display technologies and solutions such as flexible AMOLED, Mini-LEDs, and under-screen cameras.

The most captivating products are the expected 27-inch Mini LED alongside a 15.6-inch Mini LED both of which attracted great attention. BOE’s Mini LED products can achieve a million-level ultra-high contrast ratio and provide a more pure and natural display effect.

Mini-LED is a new display technology that promises improved contrast ratios and deeper blacks compared to LCD panels that are lit with regular LEDs (light-emitting diodes). As the name suggests, mini-LEDs are a lot smaller than regular LEDs. Diodes that are smaller than 0.2 mm are generally classed as mini-LEDs.

The emerging display technology is touted to be the next-generation display technology and it is presently the focus of local manufacturers in China. There are even speculations that Apple is planning to utilise Mini LEDs on its upcoming products in order to solve the problem of OLED burn-in and improve product durability. A shift to mini LEDs will also help to reduce its dependence on Samsung, the dominant player in the OLED industry.

Also, the company unveiled a 32:9 ultra-wide OLED curved display, an outer folding screen and a flexible OLED notebook display with a narrow bezel.

Yet another innovative product showcased at the tech show is a flexible screen with under-screen camera technology. The under-screen camera technology erases the style of using a notch or hole-punch design and also delivers an immersive user experience.

Furthermore, the company took the wraps off a 3D face recognition technology implemented under the display which offers users a new, smarter and more convenient way of unlocking gadgets using face detection.

Finally, BOE also brought a 75-inch, 110-inch 8K BD Cell display, innovatively applying total reflection display technology to tablet computers, e-books, TVs, outdoor advertising machines, bus stop signs and other fields.
