The Emergence of MiP Technology in Q4 2024: A Game-Changer for LED Displays Entering 2025
MiP (Micro LED in Package) technology has emerged as a crucial new variable in the LED display field in the last quarter of 2024, poised to make a significant impact as we move into 2025.
With Leyard announcing the official launch of the first high-end MiP production line and San’an Optoelectronics revealing the mass production of its MiP0202 at the Industry Display Year Conference and planning to release the next generation of AMiP products integrating Micro IC, an increasing number of positive signals indicate that MiP has entered a new phase of development—at least six months ahead of industry predictions that expected significant progress only in 2025.
What are the key characteristics marking this new stage of MiP technology? And how will its rapid development impact the competitive landscape of the market in the coming year?

From Productization to Commercialization of MiP
Currently, as leading enterprises announce mass production and subsequent capacity plans, MiP technology is steadily moving from the productization phase to the commercialization phase.
This shift indicates that MiP has passed R&D and small-batch verification stages, demonstrating stability and reliability. Additionally, it has reached a level of yield and cost that is acceptable for flagship or differentiated products. It is expected to be widely adopted and promoted on a large scale by 2025.
In terms of chip size, while MiP offers natural cost advantages and is seen as a promising solution for Micro LED large-screen applications, it will only achieve the expected cost reductions once it scales up. This is the underlying logic for entering the consumer market.
According to industry data, as MiP production capacity gradually increases, costs show a significant downward trend. Specifically, when monthly production reaches 1,000kk, costs will decrease by 20%; at 2,000kk, costs will drop by 30%; at 5,000kk, costs will fall by 50%; and at 10,000kk, costs will drop even further by 70%.
Looking at the capacity planning and industry outlook, by 2025, enterprises already in production plan to double their existing capacity, while others are also preparing to start production. With this optimistic outlook, the industry’s total capacity is expected to approach 10,000kk/month, and MiP costs are likely to fall by more than 50% compared to current products.
Moreover, based on the product positioning of MiP, this technology is primarily targeted at the high-end display market, especially applications with P0.9 and below. As the competition for LED display pixel pitch decreases from ≤0.9 to ≤0.7, MiP is increasingly ready to compete in application and market expansion.
MiP Solution Upgrade: AMiP
In addition to scaling up, technological and product innovations have become another key approach for MiP to reduce costs and open up more market applications.

Currently, the industry has introduced an upgraded MiP solution—AMiP, which integrates Micro IC technology.
The AMiP product developed by San’an Optoelectronics’ self-branded Aimaipu successfully lit up on November 28.
The integration of AM driving significantly improves the display product by eliminating the “caterpillar” issue, enhancing viewing comfort, simplifying the circuit, reducing PCB layers, and offering higher stability with no reverse voltage impact. Aimaipu views AMiP as a new industry milestone that breaks traditional LED display logic, with the potential to cover current small-pitch market applications in the future.
On December 5, Maiyuan Display announced on its official WeChat account that it had achieved the successful integration of Micro IC and Micro LED and successfully lit its Driver-MIP product. It is expected that by the end of 2025, MIP production will reach 2,000kk, and D-MIP production will reach 500kk per month.
Additionally, Unilumin celebrated its 20th anniversary by unveiling its new AM Driving MIP product.
Leyard continues to adopt a collaborative strategy, partnering with various entities to drive the mass production and application of glass-based high-end MiP products. According to previously disclosed information, Leyard’s glass-based high-end MiP products attempt to tightly integrate AM circuits/IC with LED chips within the same chip, while using glass drilling technology to transfer the solder pads to the back.
The MiP Industry Chain Is Gradually Perfecting
A major reason for the relatively slow commercialization of MiP technology is the underdeveloped industry chain. However, as technology progresses, upstream, midstream, and downstream enterprises are actively participating in the preparation for MiP technology through cooperation, investment, and mergers.
This trend not only highlights the industry’s strong emphasis on technological innovation and market competitiveness but also reflects a growing trend of close collaboration and win-win strategies across the entire industry chain, especially as pitch reduction technologies continue to evolve.
Conclusion
In the LED display industry, overcapacity and internal competition have become undeniable realities, making the search for new growth points more urgent. Micro LED technology, with its potential for large-screen applications, is gradually becoming the focal point of industry competition. MiP, as a technological path to solve issues like large-scale Micro LED transfer, repair, and interconnection, has become a key entry point for the large-screen market. The involvement of leading LED display manufacturers already hints at the future of this technology. As for MiP resources, MiP product positioning, and the MiP industry chain, these will be critical challenges for commercialization.
Among these, the competition between MiP and COB may be the first commercial challenge in the large-screen industry. Although MiP technology is still in its early stages of mass production and lags behind mature COB technology in terms of capacity, scale, and cost, the entry of MiP could shift COB’s role from offensive to defensive in the market.
Looking back at MiP itself, it is currently focused on niche high-end markets. This strategy will help enhance its brand image in terms of technological innovation and quality in the short term. However, if it fails to find sufficiently large new applications or faces strong competition from COB, preventing it from leveraging economies of scale to reduce costs, its development could be hindered. Long-term, however, MiP technology has a strong opportunity to become a new technological cornerstone and develop in broader market applications and scale.
