2026: Rising at Dawn, Forging a New Path
Reflecting on 2025, it was a pivotal year in which JBD continued to fortify its core MicroLED microdisplay technology and accelerate commercial product deployment. Throughout the year, we spearheaded advancements across multiple dimensions: in display quality, we established a rigorous new industry benchmark by reducing the defective pixel count to ≤3 per panel; in product evolution, we unveiled two flagship innovations—the Hummingbird II and Roadrunner I Polychrome Projectors; and in advancing system integration, the core equipment of JBD’s ARTCs image quality engine, the ARTCs-WG, was successfully deployed on the RayNeo production line. Furthermore, we partnered with Applied Materials and RayNeo to redefine the visual fidelity of full-color optical waveguide AR glasses.
In 2025, the landscape of AR/AI smart glasses diversified rapidly, with deepening exploration into new applications. Our customers introduced a range of innovative products, including the Alibaba Quark AI Glasses, RayNeo X3 Pro, INMO GO3, LLVision Leion Hey2, and Xuanjing M5. By the end of 2025, JBD MicroLED microdisplay products had been integrated into nearly 50 smart glasses models. This burgeoning product ecosystem serves as a powerful testament to the application potential of MicroLED in lightweight AR near-eye display scenarios.
In 2026, JBD will "Forge a New Path." Centered on the new generation 2.5μm pixel pitch MicroLED platform "Roadrunner," we will continue to drive product exploration while simultaneously expanding MicroLED into new application horizons, advancing our strategic layout for the next phase of growth.
