Hisense Adds Yellow to MicroLED With Its 163MX Display

Las Vegas – October 12, 2026 -- Hisense is showing the 163MX RGBY MicroLED Display at CES 2026, an ultra-large screen that adds a fourth, yellow sub-pixel to the usual red-green-blue design. The display has won a CES 2026 Innovation Award for that four-primary architecture.

A yellow sub-pixel fills the 500-600nm gap

Hisense says conventional MicroLED displays fall short in the 500-600nm spectral range, which can mute the intended look of content. The 163MX adds yellow to cover that range, which the company says delivers color expression no MicroLED has achieved before.

33.17 million subpixels reach up to 100% of BT.2020

Hisense uses advanced color management to balance luminance and chromatic uniformity across all 33.17 million subpixels. The display can cover up to 100% of the BT.2020 color space, which Hisense calls a new benchmark for spectral range and accuracy in true MicroLED technology.

Hisense Adds Cyan to RGB MiniLED TVs and Expands to 55–100 Inches

Las Vegas – October 12, 2026 -- Hisense is bringing RGB MiniLED TV technology to a much wider range of screen sizes in 2026, from 55 to 100 inches, while launching a four-color flagship, the 116UXS, at CES 2026.

The 116UXS adds cyan to the RGB mix

The flagship 116UXS uses a new backlight system called RGB MiniLED evo. It is a four-primary design that adds cyan to the existing red, green and blue structure.

Hisense says cyan sits in the part of the spectrum where human vision is most sensitive to subtle changes. According to the company, that lets the TV render gradients and transitions more naturally, with smoother shadow detail and clear bright content in everyday viewing, not just in dramatic HDR moments.
