China's Tech Rising Star Zhongwei Sail Breaks Micro LED Barriers; First Solutions Set for Global Debut at AES in UAE

DUBAI, Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Beijing Zhongwei Sail Technology Co., Ltd. ("ZW-Sail"), a pioneer in Micro LED semiconductor micro-display systems, today announced the successful tape-out of its first process verification chip. Achieving critical performance breakthroughs, the company's inaugural solutions will make their international debut at the 19th AES Consumer Electronics Show in the UAE this December.

Despite being established less than a year ago, ZW-Sail has demonstrated remarkable "China Speed," setting multiple industry records through its agile execution:

• World's First DRSP chip architecture.
• Industry First parallel three-color R&D mechanism to solve complex matching issues.
• Proprietary S2W process design.
• Global Record for full-color display brightness, far exceeding the industry's current highest benchmarks.
• Industry Lowest heterogeneous bonding cost.

As an ecosystem innovator in Micro LED—widely regarded as the "Ultimate Display" technology—ZW-Sail employs a unique heterogeneous stacking solution. This approach overcomes long-standing global challenges regarding luminous efficiency and full-color maturation. The company has successfully conquered the sub-2-micron pixel high-precision design barrier. Its full-color brightness far exceeds the industry's current highest performance benchmarks, establishing a significant lead in both brightness and energy efficiency.

Empowering Frontier Applications and Driving Multi-Billion Dollar Markets
On the application front, micro-display chips are regarded as the core engine driving the surging AR glasses market, which boasts an annual growth rate exceeding 100%. Leveraging inherent advantages such as high brightness, low power consumption, and long lifespan, Micro LED technology is steadily replacing traditional display solutions across multiple key sectors.

However, ZW-Sail's advanced chip technology extends far beyond AR. Taking Visible Light Communication (VLC) as an example, Micro LED is recognized as a key technology for next-generation aerospace communication and ultra-high-speed short-range interconnects.

Unlike traditional solutions, ZW-Sail's chips offer distinct advantages for next-generation connectivity:

• Ultra-High Modulation Bandwidth: Enabling the high-speed data transmission essential for 6G networks.
• Superior Signal Intensity: High brightness ensures robust connectivity.
• Array Integration: This structure boosts total capacity, allowing for massive parallel communication and precise directional links.
• Efficiency: Maintaining low power consumption for short-range optical interconnects.

Empowering Frontier Applications
The technology also empowers high-end sectors, specifically:

• Aerospace: High-reliability solutions for both secure optical communications and mission-critical displays.
• Smart Automotive: Pixelated intelligent headlights.
• Advanced Manufacturing: High-resolution maskless lithography.
• Biotech: Optogenetics and embodied AI.

Elite R&D Heritage
The core team comprises veterans from China's top-tier "National Optoelectronic Team" and international institutes. With over 20 years of semiconductor experience, members previously led designs for specialized optical interaction modules and participated in China's earliest mass-produced silicon-based micro-displays.
