Born for the “Real World” ： Industrialization Opportunities and Challenges for Multi‑Primary LCD Displays

The pursuit of ultra‑realistic image quality has long been a defining theme in the evolution of display technology. By introducing additional primaries, multi‑primary displays provide a necessary pathway toward “reproducing the real world,” offering significant potential and value in expanding color gamut for higher image fidelity, approximating natural spectral distributions to support visual comfort and health, and improving luminous efficacy and energy efficiency.

In recent years, multi‑primary approaches have emerged as an important direction for the industrial evolution of several cutting‑edge display technologies, including Micro LED and laser displays, spurring rapid exploration and experimentation. Today, with the fast advancement of RGB Mini‑LED backlit LCD technology, multi‑primary LCDs have also established a solid foundation for large‑scale commercialization. However, building a coordinated end‑to‑end industry ecosystem remains challenging, requiring full‑chain alignment from content capture and transmission to encoding/decoding and final display rendering.

This talk will focus on the industrialization opportunities and key technical hurdles of multi‑primary LCDs, systematically examine their growth potential, and look ahead to the more realistic and immersive visual experiences they can enable in high‑end imaging, immersive entertainment, and virtual content creation.
