Hongshi XC7 Full-Color MicroLED Light Engine: From CIOE to Eindhoven

In September 2026, Hongshi Intelligent brought its 0.15 cc Yunjin XC7 full-color MicroLED light engine from CIOE in Shenzhen to MicroLED Connect + AR/VR Connect in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The two events gave specialists across the AR display industry a close look at Hongshi's latest product development.

At CIOE, the Yunjin MicroLED light-engine platform received the 2026 SIVA AWARDS honor for "Best Microdisplay Solution of the Year."

Held on September 16-17, MicroLED Connect + AR/VR Connect centered on conference presentations, panel discussions and face-to-face meetings. Compact demonstration tables brought working hardware into those conversations, giving participants time to examine products and exchange views directly.

Hongshi also presented in the main auditorium on September 16, discussing the next stage of MicroLED microdisplay development. Conversations continued at the demonstration table, where product samples gave people from different disciplines a common point of reference.

Over the two days, visitors came from epitaxial materials, lithography, production and test equipment, Lcos and MicroLED displays, waveguides, eyewear, semiconductors, AR platform and device developers. Display technology analyst and KGOnTech author Karl Guttag visited on both days to examine the working XC7 sample, take photographs and video, and discuss product details.

Alongside XC7, attendees experienced a full-color demonstration pairing Hongshi's XC6 MicroLED light engine with a silicon carbide (SiC) waveguide, as well as monochrome green AR glasses. After viewing the displays, conversations turned to cost and production readiness.

An attendee from the optics industry subsequently shared the XC6-SiC waveguide demonstration on LinkedIn. The waveguide partner reposted it, and Hongshi joined the conversation, extending the exchange beyond the conference.
