Zhu Jianfei, R&D Technical Expert at Refond Optoelectronics, noted that Mini LED has now reached the stage of large-scale mass production in automotive applications, with products adopted across multiple models — from premium brands to emerging mainstream players. According to industry data, Mini LED surpassed OLED in market penetration for automotive displays in 2024. Looking ahead, the gap between Mini LED and OLED is expected to widen in 2025, reinforcing Mini LED’s leading market position. As the technology continues to mature and expand into more application scenarios, Mini LED will unlock broader prospects for automotive displays and drive the evolution from single-function displays to multi-interactive smart interfaces.
As one of the earliest pioneers in Mini LED research and mass production in China, Refond Optoelectronics focuses on technological breakthroughs in automotive display and continuously refines its full-scenario smart cockpit display portfolio. Its comprehensive solutions cover center console panels, instrument clusters, HUDs, co-driver displays, armrest screens, rear-seat entertainment screens, and electronic mirrors — accelerating the transformation of the cockpit from a “functional space” to an “emotional experience,” redefining the boundaries of human-vehicle interaction.
In the field of Mini LED automotive backlighting, Refond primarily adopts the COB (Chip on Board) technology route, continuously advancing process iteration and integrated driver design. Leveraging ultra-thin OD0mm designs, innovative 3D optical structures, and enhanced white-light solutions, Refond enables thinner, lighter backlight modules with superior color performance and brightness uniformity — building strong product competitiveness through technological differentiation.
Notably, Refond is also actively expanding the innovative applications of Mini LED direct display technology in the automotive field, extending from in-cabin to exterior interaction and safety systems. Its product lineup now includes intelligent interior surfaces, ultra-thin ambient lighting, pixelated smart tail lights, and dynamic illuminated logos, advancing Mini LED toward smaller, lighter, thinner, more flexible, and more pixelated designs — providing strong technological support for the next generation of smart cockpit and exterior interaction upgrades.
