From vehicular optical communication, silicon photonics, 1.6T optical modules, to wafer-level optics, pancake optical waveguides, MicroLED micro-displays, and then to infrared thermal imaging, multimodal sensor fusion, and quantum technology... The 26th China International Optoelectronic Expo (referred to as the "Shenzhen Optical Expo") opened at the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center, showcasing numerous cutting-edge technological achievements and latest implemented solutions in the optoelectronic field. Domestic and foreign merchants gathered in Shenzhen to seek technical solutions, find application scenarios, and expand the market, with a bustling environment for on-site matching. This year's expo has reached a new peak in attraction, with 3,800 quality enterprises from around the world presenting their latest achievements and innovative products. Eight major theme exhibitions focus on core areas such as information communication, precision optics, camera technology and applications, laser and intelligent manufacturing, smart sensing, new display technologies, AR/VR, and optoelectronic innovations, building a comprehensive optoelectronic industry ecosystem.
Currently, the laser industry is driven by technological innovation as its core driving force, undergoing a deep transformation towards intelligent manufacturing, while AI technology deeply penetrates the entire laser chain, accelerating the process of industry intelligence upgrade. The Laser Technology and Intelligent Manufacturing Exhibition focuses on showcasing the wide application scenarios and cutting-edge development directions of laser technology in the field of intelligent manufacturing, featuring several high-quality industry enterprises including Han's Laser, Haimu Star Laser, and Changguang Huaxin, which bring cutting-edge products, R&D achievements, and some companies launch new technologies and products on-site.Changguang Huaxin showcases the latest R&D achievements in five major fields: optical manufacturing, optical communications, optical sensing, optical display, and optical medicine, with significant new product launches demonstrating its core competitiveness in the laser chip field. Huagong Laser focuses on outputting laser intelligent equipment, automated production lines, and comprehensive solutions for smart factories, empowering emerging strategic industries such as semiconductors, new energy, and automotive manufacturing. JPT, which specializes in core laser technology, makes its new debut with products related to optical connections and optoelectronic testing, deeply integrating AI empowerment to build an intelligent driving engine, and is committed to creating an integrated innovation ecosystem of 'Optical AI'.
The accelerated rise of new sectors like smart cars and robots has driven the vigorous development of industries such as smart vision and smart sensors, promoting innovations in optical technology and the expansion of downstream applications. At this year's Optics Expo, the precision optics exhibition, camera technology and application exhibition, and smart sensor exhibition will comprehensively and specifically showcase the latest products and technologies in the optical industry chain, gathering many leading technology companies from both domestic and international markets, presenting cutting-edge results and the latest solutions in emerging fields such as smart cars.
The fusion of multiple sensors is becoming an industry trend. The Intelligent Sensing Expo focuses on niche fields, showcasing the latest products and technological combinations in areas such as sensing, light sources, and visualization, presenting a diverse range of integrated applications. Among them, Xintan Technology demonstrates sensor solutions aimed at embodied intelligent scenarios based on its newly developed i-d ToF core technology, providing robots and smart devices with more precise environmental perception capabilities through multi-sensor fusion technology. Xinshi Microelectronics, on the other hand, focuses on the single-photon ToF sensing core technology, presenting 3D imaging and LiDAR sensing solutions. This technology has already been widely implemented in areas such as robotic vacuums, smart glasses, and autonomous driving, offering both technical depth and applicability to various scenarios.
At the exhibition, visitors can not only see new technologies, applications, and products in the optoelectronic field, but also find new processes, equipment, and materials for advanced semiconductor manufacturing. This allows optoelectronic companies to closely interact with semiconductor manufacturing equipment and materials, while semiconductor companies can precisely match optoelectronic application scenarios. Professional audiences can get a one-stop understanding of the entire industrial chain's innovative achievements, from "optoelectronic devices" to "semiconductor manufacturing" and then to "chips."Such "smooth" and efficient communication and interaction is achieved this year through the "dual exhibition coordination" of the Optical Expo and the SEMI-e Shenzhen International Semiconductor Exhibition and the 2025 Integrated Circuit Industry Innovation Exhibition, creating an integrated ecosystem for the "optoelectronics and semiconductors" industries.This is also the first time that these two major high-end exhibitions are held "concurrently and at the same location," featuring an enormous exhibition area of 300,000 square meters. It covers the entire industrial ecosystem from optical design and materials equipment to chip manufacturing, packaging testing, and then to terminal applications, collectively building a more complete, stronger, and more resilient industrial community, collaboratively exploring technological pathways and market opportunities in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, high-speed communications, smart cars, and intelligent manufacturing.This innovative initiative not only bridges the integration of the optoelectronic and semiconductor industries but also solidifies the manufacturing foundation of optoelectronic devices through showcasing advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes. It establishes an efficient communication platform for the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, helping accelerate technological breakthroughs and commercial applications in cutting-edge areas such as optical chips, silicon photonics technology, and optoelectronic integration.
