C-TOUCH & Display Shenzhen 2026 Plans AI Glasses, Micro LED and TGV Zones

14 September 2026: C-TOUCH & DISPLAY SHENZHEN 2026 has announced plans for AI+AR smart glasses, Micro LED optical interconnect and TGV glass substrate exhibits on October 27-29, 2026. The event will take place at Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center in Bao’an, China, bringing display components and advanced packaging technologies into one sourcing programme.

Organiser RX Kuozhan’s September 3 announcement identifies Halls 10, 12, 14 and 16 for the exhibition. The plans extend themes covered in Screen Print India’s 2024 C-TOUCH preview, which included wearable displays, smart cockpits and flexible screens.

What will C-TOUCH & Display Shenzhen 2026 feature ?

The organiser has announced three technology areas. These are planned exhibits, rather than evidence of completed installations or commercial performance.

The AI+AR Smart Glasses Zone will cover optical display modules, chips, materials, complete devices and AI interaction systems. RX Kuozhan says proposed applications include industrial inspection, healthcare and intelligent mobility, alongside AR/VR uses.

The Micro LED AI Optical Interconnection & Glass Substrate Advanced Packaging Technology Zone will focus on links between display technology, photonics and AI computing. Announced exhibits include Micro LED optical interconnect chips, CPO optical-module glass substrates, and TGV equipment and materials for data-centre and high-speed communication applications.

A separate TGV Glass Substrate Manufacturing Demonstration Line will illustrate through-glass via processing and thin-glass manufacturing. TGV stands for through-glass via; the organiser places it within its advanced semiconductor packaging programme.

Display manufacturing remains central

The official exhibit scope includes OLED and Mini/Micro LED displays, electronic paper, automotive screens and touch technologies. For printing suppliers, it also lists screen-printing consumables, inks, conductive films, screen-printing equipment and inkjet equipment.

These materials and processes connect with topics in our coverage of KURZ and PolyIC display stacks, including decorated surfaces and integrated touch sensors. That earlier report provides manufacturing context, not confirmation that those companies will attend the Shenzhen show.

Exhibition scale needs a wider-event qualification

The organiser’s show-information page explicitly assigns the advertised 180,000 sq m to eight co-located events, rather than C-TOUCH alone. The release also promotes more than 3,600 exhibitors, 170,000 professional visitors and 5,000 overseas buyers. Those figures should not be read as completed attendance or verified standalone-show totals.

For Indian readers following automotive display production, our report on the SJS–BOE Varitronix agreement offers related context on optical bonding and assembly.

Forums and buyer meetings planned

RX Kuozhan, the organiser, is a joint venture established in 2015 by RX and Kuozhan Exhibition Services (Shanghai). Its exhibition portfolio also includes FILM & TAPE EXPO, COMMERCIAL DISPLAY and AUTOMOTIVE DISPLAY SHENZHEN, according to the official show-information page.

RX Kuozhan says more than 20 forums and industry events will accompany the exhibition. Its published conference preview schedules the Micro LED optical communication summit for October 27, the TGV technology summit for October 28, and the AI+AR smart glasses programme for October 27-28. The preview notes that arrangements may change and additional charges apply.
