On February 14, Hubei Sinyopto Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Sinyopto“) and Hubei Aimaipu Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Aimaipu“) officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement for MiP (Micro LED in Package). The signing ceremony was attended by key leaders, including He Shui, Executive Vice General Manager of Sinyopto, and Xu Chenkai, Vice General Manager of San’an Optoelectronics and Head of Aimaipu.

As prominent players in the MiP technology sector, the collaboration between Sinyopto and Aimaipu has sparked wide discussions. To understand the key points of this cooperation, we analyzed the following three critical questions:
- Why is this agreement signed at this time?
- How will both parties cooperate?
- What are the future plans for MiP technology?
I. MiP Enters a New Stage of Commercialization
In 2024, many companies invested in Micro-level MiP technology, which became a crucial variable in the industry. MiP is transitioning from a technology reserve phase to large-scale mass production. By 2025, MiP’s mass production scale will continue to expand, and technological solutions and product forms will undergo innovation.
These signs indicate that MiP is entering a new stage. At this juncture, MiP needs to achieve economies of scale, which will lead to a decrease in average unit costs and accelerate the development of the technology.
Both San’an Optoelectronics and Sinyopto are leading enterprises in advancing MiP technology. The core of this strategic cooperation is to integrate the technological and resource advantages of both parties to drive the industrialization of Micro LED display technology.
The collaboration will primarily focus on the Micro LED fine-pitch display market, including applications for high-end televisions, all-in-one machines, and premium cinemas, while also expanding into high-end market sectors such as AR/VR and automotive displays.
By deeply cooperating and integrating upstream and downstream resources, both parties can rapidly scale production and leverage the combined cost advantages of Micro LED and mass transfer technology. This collaboration will promote large-scale industrial development, enabling the production of more cost-effective Micro LED products for consumers.
II. Advancing Technology Upgrades and Ecosystem Development
Beyond MiP commercialization, the cooperation also aims to build a technology ecosystem and drive technological upgrades.
Sinyopto and Aimaipu complement each other’s advantages in Micro LED chip technology, chip-level packaging, mass transfer technology, and panel-level packaging, enhancing product competitiveness and accelerating the popularization of Micro LED display technology.
Through this collaboration, both companies will combine MiP packaging with panel technology, fully leveraging their respective strengths to significantly enhance display product performance and speed up industrialization.
Most importantly, the collaboration aims for synergy across the entire industry chain. Sinyopto and Aimaipu will closely collaborate, integrating the full supply chain from chips to packaging to display panels, ensuring comprehensive coordination. By utilizing technological innovation, process optimization, and efficiency improvements, both parties will deliver high-reliability, high-contrast, ultra-wide viewing angle display products, providing an enhanced visual experience.
III. Future Outlook: AMiP Technology
Both parties also revealed they are jointly developing a next-generation revolutionary product—AMiP. This product integrates AM Micro IC and Micro LED into a single package, injecting new vitality into MiP technology.
This technology combines the advantages of AM drive technology (flicker-free) and the contrast benefits of Micro LED, while simplifying circuit design and offering advantages such as PCB cost optimization and improved product stability. It can address issues traditionally caused by drivers, such as the “caterpillar effect”, low-gray coupling, and flicker, leading to better display quality.
Notably, in the Micro LED technology development path, the cost comparison between MiP and COB is no longer solely between MiP devices and COB chips, but now extends to comparing the costs of MiP + Micro IC versus COB + PM-IC. The cost at the packaging stage for MiP can be distributed into the driver stage, making it more cost-efficient.
The integrated AMiP technology significantly improves picture quality, strengthens MiP’s market competitiveness, and offers a new solution for LED display technology, injecting strong momentum for industry innovation and upgrades.
IV. Conclusion
This agreement not only marks a strategic partnership between the two companies but also serves as an “accelerator” for MiP industrialization. Through technological breakthroughs, capacity expansion, and market positioning, Sinyopto and Aimaipu are expected to lead the display industry into a new era of MiP technology in 2025. The performance of AMiP may also introduce new technological trends for the industry.
