Luxwave Delivers 2 BOE COB P0.9 Projects in Q1/2026

Which two BOE COB P0.9 projects did Luxwave deliver in Q1/2026?

Q1/2026 marks Luxwave's first year deploying BOE's flagship MicroLED COB line in Vietnam, with two projects completed and delivered on-site. The first project is the reception hall of Thanh Thang Castle in Ninh Binh, covering 6.5m², delivered in April. The second project is the training room of Optupus International Library in Hanoi, covering 8.4m², delivered in May. Both utilize the BOE BYH012 COB P0.9 cabinet — the smallest pixel pitch currently available in Luxwave's distribution catalog, according to the BOE BYH-COB Series Datasheet 2025.

The total deployed area of 14.9m² may not be large, but these two projects are milestones: they mark Luxwave's first operational deployment of the BOE BYH-COB P0.9 in Vietnam, in two entirely different contexts — a luxury private residence and a technology training space. Both opted for COB P0.9 for the same core reason: viewers are seated close and demand the highest image quality and aesthetic appeal.

Why did both projects choose the BOE BYH012 COB P0.9 configuration?

Both projects share a standardized combo that Luxwave has established for the high-end segment: BOE BYH012 COB cabinets paired with a Novastar U20 Pro processor. The 600×337.5mm COB cabinets allow for seamless拼接, with seam lines between modules less than 0.1mm, making them imperceptible to the eye at a distance of 2m. This is a critical factor in luxurious spaces, where a visible seam can disrupt the monolithic feel. The P0.9 pitch and flat COB surface are essential choices when viewers are in close proximity to the screen.

The reasons for choosing COB over SMD lie in three professional points. First, COB places chips directly onto the PCB and then applies a protective resin layer, resulting in a seamless flat surface without exposed LED beads that are prone to detachment or glare when viewed up close. Second, the fanless passive cooling design ensures near-silent operation — important for quiet reception halls and training rooms. Third, high contrast and chip durability help the screen maintain stable quality throughout its 100,000-hour lifespan as per the datasheet.

The Novastar U20 Pro processor was chosen for its ability to scale high-resolution sources, synchronize colors between cabinets, and support multi-window displays — essential when the Optupus training room needs to integrate laptops, cameras, and media players simultaneously. Luxwave's technical team holds Novastar NCE Professional certification, enabling them to calibrate uniformity and color gamut on-site rather than relying on factory default settings.

How was Thanh Thang Castle implemented, and what were the challenges?

Thanh Thang Castle is a large-scale private residence in Ninh Binh, with a reception hall adorned with crystal chandeliers and carved wooden structures in a European style. The challenge for Luxwave was clear: the 6.5m² LED screen had to blend into the wooden background when off — almost disappearing — and display high-resolution content clearly when on, all within a space with multiple strong reflective light sources. This is the type of requirement that only COB P0.9 with its full-face black coating and 100,000:1 contrast can meet, as its dark flat surface when off blends with the dark wood color.

The biggest installation challenge was the hanging structure. Carved wood is not a flat metal surface that can be easily adjusted, while the 600×337.5mm COB modules require a surface flatness tolerance of only ±2mm — exceeding this limit would create shadows and color shifts at the seams. The technical team had to meticulously measure and fabricate auxiliary frames to achieve the required flatness, while also protecting the valuable wood from scratches or damage throughout the process. The entire installation and calibration process took 5 days, longer than the other project due to the complexity of the underlying structure.

The result after acceptance met the investor's expectations. Under the crystal chandeliers, the BYH012's brightness was sufficient to prevent glare without being dazzling when the lights were off, and the black coating made the screen almost invisible against the wooden background. When content was played, images were sharp even at a distance of 2m — the typical viewing distance for guests in the hall. This demonstrates why ultra-small pitch is used in luxury private residences: not for distant viewing, but to withstand close-up scrutiny.

What were the unique technical requirements for Optupus International Library?

Optupus International Library in Hanoi is a technology training space, where the 8.4m² LED screen serves as the primary display for students. Unlike a private residence, this is a continuously operating environment with more practical requirements: content must be clear for students seated at distances of 2 to 4m, display small text slides and data tables effectively, and withstand the lighting conditions of a classroom with overhead panel downlights. The MLED technology training context also demands that the screen itself be a reliable reference product in terms of quality.

The core technical requirements were brightness and uniformity. With ambient room illuminance around 450 lux from the ceiling panels, the BYH012's brightness was sufficient to prevent glare in standard mode without needing to push it to peak levels, which would reduce chip lifespan. The technical team calibrated uniformity to ensure consistent brightness across modules, avoiding the "patchwork" effect that students could easily notice when viewing white background slides. The P0.9 pitch ensures that the front row, 2m away, cannot distinguish individual pixels — an experience equivalent to a high-quality LCD screen but at a much larger size.

Thanks to the screen being installed on a flat wall, the installation process was significantly faster than at Thanh Thang: frame erection, module assembly, and calibration were completed in 3 days, with operation commencing on the fourth day after handover. The flat nature of the underlying structure was the direct reason for the reduced time — a lesson Luxwave always emphasizes during site surveys: the complexity of the mounting surface affects progress more than the screen area. Optupus also serves as a good reference for clients interested in showroom and exhibition applications requiring large, seamless displays.

What lessons do these 2 projects offer clients and installation teams?

These two Q1/2026 projects demonstrate that COB P0.9 is not a default choice for all spaces, but rather a conditional decision. Both Thanh Thang and Optupus satisfied three criteria that justify ultra-small pitch: viewers are seated close (under 3m), high aesthetic or clarity requirements, and an environment with strong reflective light needing good brightness and contrast. Conversely, if the furthest seats in a room are over 5m away, P1.5-P2.5 would be sufficiently sharp and significantly reduce costs. Choosing the correct pitch based on actual viewing distance is more important than choosing the smallest pitch — this is a principle Luxwave consistently advises.

The second major lesson regarding project operation is lead-time and mounting structure. COB cabinets are made to order, requiring 14-21 days for production at BOE and are not readily stocked, so any grand opening plans must factor in an additional 21-30 days from the contract signing date. The underlying structure also dictates installation progress more than the area: a flat wall allows for 3 days, while carved wood requires 5 days. The on-site survey — measuring surface flatness to ±2mm tolerance, measuring ambient light, and determining the mounting solution — must be done before providing an accurate quote, as it cannot be estimated remotely.

Following these two projects, Luxwave has placed a deposit for a batch of BOE BYH P1.2 COB in late Q2/2026 to anticipate demand for executive meeting rooms, as BOE announced a 10-15% price reduction for COB at ISLE 2026. The target for 2026 is 5-8 COB projects, prioritizing two segments: premium meeting rooms of 20-40m² and private residence reception halls.
