ISLE 2024, one of Asia’s largest exhibitions for Smart Screen Display, Pro Audio-Visual, System Integration and LED, was held from 29 February to 2 March 2024 at Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center (Shenzhen World).
Shenzhen is a celebrated industry hub for display (especially LED display), and the exhibition venue for ISLE 2024 is located within 30 minutes’ drive to most of China’s major LED factories. Converging complete industrial chains in display and integrated systems, ISLE 2024 was a one-stop platform that presented global buyers with the latest products, easy factory research, and networking opportunities.
ISLE 2024 hosted more than 1000 online and offline exhibitors, demonstrating AI-assisted display, XR, 4K and 8K Micro-LED, naked-eye 3D display, transparent Mini LED, 5G AV-over-IP applications, remote conferencing and streaming, “live” events, interactive display, digital signage, digital content creation and management within an 80,000 square-metre exhibition area.
The three-day event featured products and solutions from well-known brands such as Leyard, Unilumin, Absen, LianTronics, Ledman, AOTO, BOE, Skyworth, Cedar, Novastar and MAXHUB. The rental giant Gloshine, together with dozens of stage-show companies, delivered a visual marvel through digital creativity and immersive experiences. Hundreds of new and innovative products made their debut at ISLE 2024.
The organisers of ISLE 2024 staged dozens of forums and workshops in the fields of virtual cinematography, XR broadcasting, IOT display, smart city, data fusion, and big data display application.
Highlights at ISLE 2024 included:
The mini/micro display era has arrived
The expo saw a trend of many LED display companies dealing in COB/MIP products, taking mini/micro displays mainstream. For example, the most sought after products included Leyard 8K Micro LED, Unilumin Upanel Micro 0.6, Absen Micro LED P0.9, LianTronics Vmicro COB P0.7 and MIP P0.9, LEDMAN 8K P 0.4-0.7 Micro LED UHD Energy-saving Cold Screen, and AOTO P 0.3 LED.
Wider scenario applications and intense competition in the field of segmented tracks
There were multiple creative display applications on view at ISLE 2024. With the quick rise of development in the field of display, and the corresponding rapid decrease in unit prices, the use of LED in XR virtual production, naked-eye 3D, special-shaped display screen, rental display, transparent display, and flexible screen, has become increasingly prevalent.
Greater interest in all-in-one display machines
Big hits like LEDMAN 163-inch Micro-LED video wall, Skyworth 138-inch SCOB super all-in- one machine, and Cedar 165-inch 8K HD home theater, attracted much attention with their product innovations.
Deeper fusion of “AV + Industry”
With the wide use of 5G and wide application of 4K/8K HD, the Pro Audio-Visual industry has seen deeper integration and fusion with other industries. Going forward, expect to see greater integration of technologies like AI aid, VA/AR, and digital broadcasting in events like “live” shows, game broadcasting, press conferences, and digital exhibition.
