SID Display Week 2025: Light Chip Unveils World’s First 4K Micro LED Projection Chip and Motorcycle Digital Lighting Solutions
On May 13, 2025, SID Display Week 2025 kicked off in San Jose, Silicon Valley. Light Chip showcased the world’s first 4K Micro LED projection chip solution and demonstrated a functional prototype of the first-ever 4K Micro LED projector using a three-chip optical system. Additionally, Light Chip partnered with CFMoto to debut a digital lighting and projection interaction solution for motorcycles. The world’s first motorcycle featuring digital navigation projection is expected to launch by late 2025.
The company also displayed Micro LED driver wafers, modules, and prototypes for applications in AR/VR glasses, projection displays, and automotive digital headlights. The exhibits drew significant attention from industry professionals, and Light Chip’s team engaged in in-depth technical discussions with global leaders in display and consumer electronics.
World’s First 4K Micro LED Projection Chip & Prototype
Traditional digital projection devices (projectors, laser TVs, cinema projectors, etc.) rely on DMD chips, LCoS chips, or LCD panels for imaging. Since these components do not emit light, conventional projectors require separate light sources and optical systems.
In contrast, Micro LED technology enables self-emissive projection chips, which can:
- Shrink projector size
- Boost brightness
- Reduce power consumption
- Lower production costs
This breakthrough could revolutionize the projection industry.
To advance digital projection from reflective (passive) chips to self-emissive (active) chips, Light Chip developed the world’s first 4K projection chip, setting a new resolution record for silicon-based Micro LED displays. The company also showcased the first functional 4K Micro LED projector prototype, marking a major milestone for large-screen projection applications.
As Micro LED technology matures, future projectors will become smaller, lighter, brighter, and more affordable.

Light Chip & CFMoto Debut Motorcycle Digital Projection Solution
While luxury cars like the Mercedes S-Class, Porsche, and AITO M9 already feature digital headlight projection, motorcycles have lagged behind—until now.
At SID 2025, Light Chip and CFMoto introduced the first digital projection solution for motorcycles, including:
- Digital projection headlights
- Dynamic left/right welcome lighting
- Custom software and control systems
This technology enhances rider safety with features like:
- Navigation projections
- Adaptive lighting
- Obstacle/hazard alerts
- Turn signal ground projections
The solution offers low power consumption, high brightness, compact size, and reliability, making it ideal for future smart motorcycles.
