BOE at CES 2026 Showcases Hero 2.0 Smart Cockpit Tech
The International Consumer Electronics Show 2026 (CES 2026), a leading technology event, opened in Las Vegas, the United States, on 6 January. BOE and its subsidiary made a strong presence at the show and brought more than 60 advanced display technologies and IoT solutions. The company gave its pioneering HERO 2.0 Smart Cockpit its world premiere. During the show, BOE worked with more than 40 global partners to build a collaborative, win-win ecosystem, support the global smart mobility sector, and advance a tech-driven green development model.
BOE leads globally in both shipments and shipment area for automotive displays, and it aims to transform interaction in smart cockpits. After BOE launched the "HERO" (Healthiness, Entertainment, Relaxation, and Office) initiative overseas in 2025, it unveiled the HERO 2.0 Smart Cockpit at CES 2026. It set a new benchmark for audiovisual experiences, interaction methods, and scenario-based applications. BOE debuted its Micro LED panoramic head-up display (PHUD) globally with a peak brightness of 50,000 nits. It uses AI to support smart voice and gesture control, and it reaches up to 98% accuracy for complex command recognition. The 15.6-inch UB Cell central display delivers ultra-black performance and exceptional contrast. The AI-powered HERO 2.0 Smart Cockpit combines multimodal interaction methods such as multi-touch, voice interaction, visual control, and gesture control, and it adds a breakthrough domain control feature. It reshapes the human-vehicle relationship and sets the technical foundation for extending the value of the smart mobility ecosystem.
BOE also demonstrated new products powered by its three display technology brands, ADS Pro, f-OLED, and α-MLED. In ADS Pro, the automotive-grade 15.6-inch UB Cell dual-screen display delivers high contrast, low reflectivity, and wide colour gamut coverage for high-fidelity in-vehicle applications. The BD Cell dual-layer LCD display uses pixel-level dimming to produce true blacks and a contrast ratio of 100,000:1. BOE applies low-power algorithms to deliver strong display performance and improved energy efficiency for premium smart cockpits. In f-OLED, the globally premiered OLED smart cockpit solution integrates curved and custom-shaped OLED displays to create seamless alignment between display form factors and interaction design. In α-MLED, BOE debuted its first 0.9 mm-pitch HDR Micro LED all-in-one. This ultra-thin chip-on-glass (COG) product delivers UHD image quality, high brightness, no flicker, and seamless splicing. In 10 lux ambient lighting, it achieves an ambient contrast ratio (ACR) of 20,000:1 or higher, and it delivers strong performance in dark scenes.
BOE also presented a range of AI-ready products designed for connected mobility and smart devices. The C100 AI all-in-one series integrates multimodal AI interaction and LLM technologies, and it leads the industry across multiple functions. The world's first 3D ultrasonic fingerprint smart car key/start button enables rapid identity authentication and adapts to the driving mode with a single click. The AI gasses built for cycling integrate an HD camera, Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), and dual Bluetooth earbuds.
BOE Varitronix Limited, BOE’s automotive display arm, worked with more than 40 ecosystem partners at the show, including global luxury car brands, leading automotive suppliers, and well-known consumer electronics companies. It showcased 11 co-developed products across automotive, cycling, consumer electronics, and other areas. The HYPERIDE-R electric motorcycle, which BOE developed with Keeway Group, introduced a new model for smart cycling by combining AI glasses with an intelligent instrument cluster solution. The NaviLink 228 Connect solution, which BOE co-developed with NaviLink, and the triple-screen display system, which BOE co-created with ART, showed how display technologies can adapt across diverse vehicle architectures while supporting strong system integration.
