Planar launches Cobra Series fine pitch LED displays. New range, available in Europe via Leyard Europe, uses the company's EverPixel and TruMicro LED technologies and is offered in pixel pitches from 0.6mm to 1.2mm Published: June 24, 2026 Planar has launched the Cobra Series, a new family of fine pixel pitch LED video walls built on the company's proprietary EverPixel and TruMicro LED technologies. The series is available in 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.9mm and 1.2mm pixel pitches and is aimed at premium indoor applications. Planar said the displays offer display uniformity, off-axis image quality and colour consistency. EverPixel architecture incorporates pixel-level redundancy into the display, which Planar said is intended to help maintain image quality and continuous operation. TruMicro technology uses LEDs as small as 20 micrometres, which the company said enables MicroLED-level performance and finer pixel pitches. Sidney Rittenberg, chief executive officer at Planar, said: "Planar Cobra Series brings together groundbreaking fine pitch LED innovation and a proven platform to deliver exceptional image quality, advanced reliability and enhanced durability. By combining EverPixel and TruMicro technologies, we've created the industry's first ultra-fine pitch LED display platform that gives customers greater confidence in the image they see today and over the life of the display." The series includes a protective display surface intended to guard against casual contact, along with an energy-efficient design aimed at reducing power consumption. Planar said these features are designed to support deployment in public spaces, collaborative environments and interactive touch applications. The Cobra Series is supported by Planar's WallDirector family of solutions, covering video wall control, content management and display monitoring, including the WallDirector Video Controller for source capture and content windowing, and WallDirector Cloud for remote management. The Cobra Series is available now through Planar's network of authorised resellers, and in Europe via Leyard Europe. It was unveiled at InfoComm 2026, held June 17-19 in Las Vegas.

Infocomm 2026planar unveils new MIP LED architecture. Planar introduces Everpixel and Trumicro, two LED technologies designed to push fine-pixel display performance beyond COB. June 16, 2026 by John Berkovich Planar has introduced two proprietary LED technologies designed to advance fine-pixel LED display performance, with both making their public debut at Infocomm 2026 in Las Vegas. The new technologies, Planar EverPixel and Planar TruMicro, are built around a MicroLED-in-Package architecture and are designed to improve reliability, efficiency, viewing angles, and pixel density in next-generation LED displays. Beyond COB. According to Planar, EverPixel eliminates the LED substrate and reduces the number of parts, processes and components required in manufacturing. The technology also doubles the number of red, green, and blue subpixels, creating built-in redundancy intended to reduce the risk of visible pixel outages. The design solders the chip electrode directly to the LED package, avoiding the wire-bonding risks associated with traditional gold or copper connections. The company also points to five-sided light output, which it says improves light efficiency and supports wider viewing angles without color distortion or dimming. Smaller subpixels. TruMicro uses RGB MicroLED subpixels as small as 20 micrometers. By reducing subpixel size and positioning them more tightly together, Planar says the technology improves color mixing and reduces color separation and color shift. Together, EverPixel and TruMicro use substrate-free, common-cathode RGB flip chips mounted via mass-transfer soldering. The chip offset can be controlled to within two micrometers, enabling tighter subpixel spacing and higher-resolution image quality. The combined technologies can support pixel pitches smaller than 0.4 millimeters. Planar will demonstrate the technologies at Infocomm 2026, at booth C7258, as part of a new product line that uses this architecture.

Planar, a global visualisation technology leader, has introduced two proprietary technologies: Planar EverPixel and Planar TruMicro LED. Both innovations advance MicroLED in Package (MIP) architecture and aim to surpass chip-on-board technology. EverPixel eliminates the LED substrate and doubles red, green and blue subpixels, providing built-in redundancy to prevent pixel outages. The technology solders chip electrodes directly to LED packages, eliminating wire breakage risks and enabling five-sided light output for enhanced efficiency and ultra-wide viewing angles. TruMicro features MicroLED subpixels as small as 20 micrometres, improving colour uniformity and viewing angles whilst controlling chip offset within 2 micrometres. Together, the technologies support pixel pitches smaller than 0.4 millimetres. The innovations will debut at InfoComm 2026 in Las Vegas this June.
