Recently, Leyard announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Beijing Leyard Investment Co., Ltd., plans to subscribe for a 39.74% stake in Guangdong Dakangyuanhe Phase II Venture Capital Partnership (Limited Partnership) with its own funds of RMB 80 million. The fund's total target subscription size is approximately RMB 201.3 million, focusing on investing in high-growth companies in the field of artificial intelligence large-scale models.
This investment is an important measure for Leyard to advance its "internal growth + external expansion" strategy and a significant step in its continued expansion of the artificial intelligence industry ecosystem.
Continuous Innovation Drives LED Display Technology Upgrades
As a leading enterprise in China's LED display industry, Leyard has long adhered to a development path focused on technological innovation. From full-color LED displays and small-pitch LED display technology to the industrial application of Micro LED, the company continuously promotes display technology upgrades and market expansion.
In recent years, Leyard has continuously advanced the development of Micro LED technology, launching high-end MiP (Hi-Micro) products and releasing DPR dual-path parallel redundancy technology, further enhancing the reliability and application value of display products and providing technical support for the development of the high-end display market.
Building an New Industrial Layout
Currently, Leyard has formed three core business segments:
- Intelligent Display Business
- Cultural Tourism Nighttime Tour Business
- AI and Spatial Computing Business
Among them, AI and spatial computing is becoming a key new direction for the company's development. Relying on the OptiTrack optical motion capture technology platform and virtual motion point business resources, Leyard has widely applied related technologies to:
- Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)
- Digital Content Production
- Medical Rehabilitation Training
- Industrial Simulation Applications
- Embossed Intelligence and Humanoid Robot R&D
Meanwhile, the company has built an integrated solution covering motion data acquisition, data processing, model training, and scenario applications, and launched Lydia motion big model and multi-sensor fusion technology, continuously expanding application scenarios in the field of artificial intelligence.
AI and Display Integration Creates More Application Value
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, AI-generated content, big model interaction, and spatial computing technologies are deeply integrating with display terminals.
In the future, big model technology is expected to further improve the content production efficiency and interactive experience of scenarios such as digital exhibition halls, smart conferences, cultural tourism night tours, virtual digital humans, and immersive displays, achieving an upgrade from traditional information display to intelligent interactive experience.
This participation in the AI Big Model Industry Fund investment will help Leyard further expand its artificial intelligence industry ecosystem, strengthen synergistic development with its existing intelligent display, cultural tourism night tour, and spatial computing businesses, and provide new impetus for future innovative applications and business growth.
Industry Implications
Against the backdrop of increasingly fierce competition in the LED display industry, leading companies are actively deploying in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence and spatial computing through a dual-engine approach of technological innovation and industrial investment. The convergence of AI, big data models, and display technologies is creating more innovative application scenarios for the industry and accelerating the upgrading of the display industry towards intelligence and digitalization.
For LED display companies, including MileStrong, seizing the opportunities presented by the development of AI technology, deepening display technology innovation, and expanding smart display application scenarios will become important directions for enhancing market competitiveness and achieving long-term growth.
