Tianma is using CES 2026 to position itself as a full-stack display supplier, showcasing capabilities across large-format MicroLED, automotive cockpits and HUDs, smartphone AMOLED, and ultra-high-refresh IT/gaming panels. The portfolio targets both technology branding and concrete design-win conversations with OEMs, with more than 60 advanced demonstrations available by appointment only.
The B2B focus reflects Tianma’s broader strategy as a small-to-medium display specialist expanding into higher-value, high-spec niches across automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer markets.
108-inch MicroLED on Glass-Based LTPS Backplane
The centerpiece of Tianma’s large-format display showcase is a 108-inch 4K MicroLED display using what the company calls the world’s first all-laser mass transfer process on a glass-based LTPS TFT backplane.
Tianma frames the demonstration as a “new benchmark” for large-format MicroLED, emphasizing manufacturability and scalability for signage and ultra-large premium applications rather than presenting it as a laboratory prototype. The all-laser mass transfer approach addresses one of the persistent challenges in MicroLED production, where chip placement accuracy and throughput have constrained commercialization at scale.
The glass-based LTPS backplane represents a departure from the silicon or PCB substrates common in current MicroLED implementations, potentially offering cost and integration advantages for displays targeting the commercial and premium consumer segments.
Automotive: Smart Cockpit 7.0
Under its Smart Cockpit 7.0 banner, Tianma is demonstrating an integrated cockpit concept showcasing immersive, intelligent interiors for next-generation vehicles.
Key demonstrations include a 49.6-inch curved 8K ACRUS display designed for wide, high-resolution dashboards. The ultra-wide form factor and 8K resolution address the automotive industry’s shift toward pillar-to-pillar displays that consolidate instrumentation, infotainment, and passenger entertainment into unified visual surfaces.
Tianma is also showing ultra-wide IRIS HUD solutions for augmented-reality-style windshield displays. AR HUDs have emerged as a significant growth area in automotive displays, with OEMs increasingly deploying head-up technology to differentiate models and provide drivers with key information in less-distracting configurations.
A 34-inch automotive dimming glass module rounds out the cockpit demonstrations, offering electronic control of light transmission as a replacement for mechanical sunshades. The technology addresses both design flexibility and the growing emphasis on seamless, electronically controlled interior surfaces in premium vehicles.
Smartphone AMOLED Technology
Tianma’s smartphone display area centers on new AMOLED stacks and backplanes targeting improvements in color, efficiency, brightness, lifetime, and design flexibility.
The NFT (New Fluorescence Technology) AMOLED demonstration showcases advances in emitter efficiency, while the BT.2020 SLOD AMOLED targets wider color gamut coverage, pushing toward the broadcast standard that premium TV displays have pursued. A High-Efficiency SLOD AMOLED variant emphasizes power consumption improvements, and an Ultra-Narrow-Border LTPO AMOLED addresses the premium smartphone market’s demand for low-power, near-borderless designs.
The LTPO backplane technology enables variable refresh rates that can significantly reduce power consumption during static content display, a capability that has become standard in flagship smartphones as battery life and always-on display features have grown in importance.
610 Hz Gaming Panel
For IT and gaming applications, Tianma is introducing a 27-inch QHD Oxide TFT LCD with a 610 Hz native refresh rate, which the company claims is the world’s fastest.
The panel targets competitive gaming with a 1 ms gray-to-gray response time and an anti-glare, anti-reflection surface designed to maintain clarity under typical gaming-room lighting conditions. The oxide TFT backplane enables the high refresh rate while maintaining the resolution and image quality that gaming monitors require.
The 610 Hz specification represents a significant step beyond the 480 Hz panels that have recently entered the gaming monitor market, though whether competitive gamers can perceive meaningful differences at these refresh rates remains a subject of debate. The specification nonetheless positions Tianma at the leading edge of the high-refresh gaming segment.
Strategic Positioning
The appointment-only format for demonstrations underscores Tianma’s B2B orientation, prioritizing substantive engagement with OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers over consumer-facing spectacle.
The portfolio breadth, spanning MicroLED, automotive cockpits and HUDs, smartphone AMOLED, and extreme-refresh gaming panels, positions Tianma as a technology partner capable of addressing multiple display categories within a single supplier relationship. For OEMs managing complex supply chains across automotive, mobile, and IT products, consolidated supplier relationships can offer advantages in qualification, logistics, and long-term technology roadmap alignment.
Tianma’s CES presence reflects the competitive dynamics in the display industry, where Chinese manufacturers continue expanding into higher-value segments that Korean and Japanese suppliers have historically dominated. The company’s focus on advanced technologies, from all-laser MicroLED transfer to 610 Hz gaming panels, signals ambitions beyond the commodity display business toward the premium specifications that command stronger margins.
