From the clearly visible guidance screens on the subway platform under the strong light to the non-glare consultation devices in hospital wards, customized display screens are becoming the core engine driving the growth of the global commercial display market. The latest report from IDC shows that the global commercial display market size will reach 12.86 billion US dollars in 2026, with the proportion of customized equipment rising to 37%. The Chinese market, with a 63% share in the Asia-Pacific region, has become the core of global growth. The differentiated demands in fields such as subways, healthcare, and supermarkets are accelerating the industrial iteration.
Challenges drive innovation. Customization becomes the key to industry breakthroughs.
As the digital transformation in various industries progresses, the shortcomings in the adaptation of standardized display devices have become increasingly prominent. Research data from CaiDi Consulting shows that 82% of subway stations in China have equipped bar-type display devices, but only 35% can meet the three core requirements of strong light readability, shock resistance, and remote control. The information readability of some general screens in subway strong light environments is less than 40%. In the power sector, electromagnetic interference causes data delays of up to 5 seconds in traditional displays; in the hospital sector, complaints from patients due to glare design account for over 30%. The demand for customized solutions in the industry is becoming increasingly urgent.
Meanwhile, the "scale contradiction" of customized production has become a key focus for enterprises to tackle. The yield rate of special-shaped screen production has long remained at 65%, and the delivery cycle for small-batch orders can be as long as 45 days. Some new subway lines were forced to be postponed for opening due to equipment delays. Under this circumstance, the dual drive of technological innovation and production mode optimization has pushed the customized display industry to break through development bottlenecks.
Technology empowerment of scenarios - Implementation of multi-domain solutions yielding results
Enterprises are focusing on specific scenarios and launching customized solutions to achieve a comprehensive breakthrough from physical characteristic adaptation to intelligent function integration. In the subway scenario, the bar screen solution provided by Shenzhen Dimant Technology is a benchmark. It uses A+ grade LCD panels with a brightness of 500cd/㎡. After being treated with fogging, the reflectivity is ≤10%, and the readability of information under strong light exceeds 90%. Combined with a "metal frame + buffer rubber pad" structure, the equipment passes the GB/T 2423.10-2008 vibration test and can calmly cope with the complex vibration environment when the subway train passes by.
To meet the special requirements of open-air subway stations, Liyade has launched ultra-bright LED strip screens. By using inverted LED chips, the brightness can reach 800 cd/m², and the readability in outdoor environments can be improved to 95%. At the same time, relying on dynamic pixel dimming technology, the energy consumption is reduced by 25% compared to traditional LED screens. After being adopted by a certain subway line, it saved about 120,000 yuan in costs in the following year, and the 100,000-hour chip lifespan can achieve ten years of maintenance-free replacement.
Customized innovations in the medical and supermarket sectors are also impressive. Zhongming Technology has created a 4:3 low-power square screen for a top-tier hospital in Shanghai. With an AG anti-glare coating, the screen keeps the reflection rate below 8%. The patient complaint rate has dropped by 60%, and the low-power design of 30W/㎡ is 30% more energy-efficient than traditional equipment. The annual electricity savings for 200 such devices can reach 24,000 kWh. Aotuo Electronics has developed intelligent shelf screens for supermarket scenarios, supporting multi-system compatibility and real-time linkage of inventory data. It can update the information of 100 devices in one click, and the operational efficiency of a single store can be increased by 75%.
The pace of advanced technology layout has been accelerating simultaneously. Tianma Microelectronics has made a breakthrough in the Micro-LED field. Its independently developed full laser process production line has increased the massive transfer efficiency to 40KK UPH. The transparent display solution has a transmittance of 70%, which can be flexibly adapted to high-end customized scenarios such as vehicles and command centers, injecting new momentum into industrial upgrading.
Industrial ecosystem upgrading, with continuous enhancement of domestic production capabilities
The popularization of customized display technology cannot be achieved without the collaborative efforts of the entire industry chain. Dimant Technology, through its modular design concept, has shortened the development cycle of special-shaped screen molds to 15 days, compressed the delivery cycle for small-batch orders to 20 days, and increased the production yield to 85%. This has solved the core contradiction between customization and mass production. Tianma Microelectronics led the establishment of the Micro-LED ecosystem alliance, jointly developing over 30 exclusive equipment and materials with upstream and downstream partners, significantly increasing the domestic production rate of the industry chain and building a technical barrier.
From the perspective of the project's implementation results, the customized solutions have achieved a value loop. After the Shenzhen Metro Line 22 adopted 500 Diamant 50-inch bar screens, there were no major failures for 18 months, and the efficiency of platform guidance increased by 75%. The lyd LED screens on Beijing Metro Line 16, with their stable performance, have become a benchmark for urban transportation display. Analysts from Boran Consulting pointed out that as the demand for scenarios continues to be refined and domestic technologies mature, the domestic customized display market will accelerate its penetration into high-value-added fields in 2026, becoming the core intelligent interface in the era of Internet of Everything.
