The key to enhancing red MicroLED brightness is minimizing the size effect with next-gen ultra-thin AlGaInP epitaxy and excellent passivation technology. JBD's red MicroLED pixel pitch is only 4um while the emitter size is even<2um, facing high challenge on efficiency. The years of effort on improving epitaxy greatly reduced Effects of non-radiative recombination on the MicroLED surface, slowing down the efficiency degradation below 5um emitter size. Combined with excellent passivation with new materials and process, the finalized design further break through the size effect barrier and significantly boost internal quantum efficiency.

Advances in pixel optics also plays a key role in brightness engineering. The new structure not only increases light extraction efficiency through an enhanced transmission film system, but also further optimizes the microlens to remarkedly improve collimation and brightness. Altogether, JBD has achieved product-level million-nit panels under normal driving conditions.

JBD's red MicroLED performance has stayed ahead the whole industry with breakthroughs over years. Hitting 300,000 nits in 2021, 500,000 nits in 2022 and 750,000 nits in February 2023 of its red panels, JBD now enable mass production of its Hummingbird full-color optical engine with red brightness exceeding 1 million nits.

The red brightness milestone brings JBD's "Hummingbird" X-cube polychrome projector to a new level. With its ultra-compact 0.4 cc size, 1 g weight and 200 mW low power consumption, the Hummingbird has distinguished advantages for consumer AR displays.

As a unique feature, the high-quality LED headlights can wink the daytime running lights shine in the hammer-shaped design typical of this Swedish brand. When switched to high beam, the daytime running light splits up and down to reveal the main headlamp.

The new SUV's headlights are an evolution of the distinctive headlight design that the brand first introduced on the second-generation XC90 in 2015. The LED light elements of the daytime running lights form the hammer-shaped design, with the head divided into six light segments, while the stem is formed by ten other elements. If you switch to main light, the hammer splits horizontally and the main headlight becomes visible. The movement not only serves to switch from daytime running light to main light, but also underscores the vehicle's start sequence with a "wink" of the headlights.

As the basis for the headlamp, ZKW uses a Segment Light light module that combines matrix high beam and low beam. The signal light system combines daytime running light, position light and indicator light in the particularly compact form of the striking design. The daytime running light, which is movable thanks to the innovative kinematics, gives the brand new SUV a unique appearance. When the vehicle is unlocked, the individual headlight elements flash one after the other before flipping open to reveal the high beam with a flashing effect. The smart headlight was developed at the ZKW site in Wieselburg, and is manufactured at ZKW in Silao/Mexico and Dalian/China.
