InfoComm 2026 Report: COB Becomes Mainstream & Rental LED Cabinet Standard Upgrade
2026/06/20
1. COB Packaging Officially Replaces Traditional SMD As High-End Standard
Before 2026, SMD-GOB was the mainstream solution for indoor fixed screens; after June exhibition bidding standards were updated, government monitoring, five-star hotel conference rooms and museum exhibition projects all took COB high contrast, anti-collision and dust-proof performance as mandatory bidding parameters.
Core competitive advantages of COB verified on site:
- Contrast ratio up to 15000:1, pure black background without gray fog under low indoor light;
- 4H integrated glue surface, no lamp bead damage caused by maintenance collision;
- Low heat generation design, average power consumption reduced by nearly 30% compared with traditional SMD screens, cutting long-term electricity costs for 24-hour uninterrupted operation projects.
Cheer COB HD series complete P0.78-P1.875 full pixel pitch layout, front maintenance thin cabinet design, fully matching the technical requirements of global high-end visual projects.
2. Rental Industry Unified Upgrade: -5°~+5° Multi-Angle Arc Lock Cabinet
All mainstream rental brands launched upgraded die-cast aluminum cabinets at InfoComm. The old single positive arc design was completely eliminated, and adjustable -5° to +5° arc lock became standard configuration, which can freely splice concave walls, convex cylinders and 90° right-angle stage modeling for concerts, fashion shows and brand launch events.
The integrated fast-lock buckle realizes 3-second quick docking of a single cabinet, cutting on-site assembly labor time by more than 60%. Indoor IP43 and outdoor IP65 dual versions cover all temporary event scenarios from indoor exhibitions to outdoor music festivals. Industry data shows that European and American large rental companies increased their procurement volume of curved rental cabinets by 41% month-on-month in June.
3. AI Synchronous Playback System Becomes Standard Matching Configuration
A major technical consensus formed at the June exhibition: all medium and large LED projects (fixed wall, rental stage, transparent facade) need to be equipped with AI intelligent playback system. The system supports automatic color calibration, real-time screen fault alarm, multi-screen synchronous linkage and AI automatic content generation, greatly reducing manual operation costs for merchants and event operators.
Cheer full series LED displays support matching self-developed intelligent control software, realizing one remote management of mall transparent media, stage rental screens and taxi vehicle advertising equipment under one platform, favored by one-stop global system integrators.
Market Layout Suggestions For Global Partners
For engineering companies focusing on government and high-end commercial projects, increase COB small-pitch sample reserves to adapt to new tender standards; rental fleet operators should prioritize multi-angle curved fast-lock RP rental cabinets to form differentiated competitive advantages; all project types can select LED products equipped with AI synchronous playback systems to improve after-sales operation service added value.
