What Absen does

Absen (Shenzhen Absen Optoelectronic Co., Ltd., SZSE: 300389) is a Shenzhen-headquartered, publicly listed designer and manufacturer of LED display products with global operations. Founded in 2001 and public since its 2014 A-share listing, Absen operates from a manufacturing base in Dongjiang (up to 1,000,000 sqm annual LED display capacity post-2023 expansion) and eight regional offices across the US, Germany, Russia, the UAE, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, and Hong Kong, supported by experience centers in Orlando, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Kansas City. The company reports 60,000+ installations across 140+ countries and 12 consecutive years as China's No. 1 LED display exporter.

The product portfolio is organized across five sub-brands: AbsenLive (high-end rental, staging, virtual production, and xR); indoor commercial displays (X Series Micro LED all-in-ones, KLCOB V2, NX, K V3, transparent JD-H); outdoor DOOH (A25, A99 stadium, AW/AW Pro, C mesh); creative displays (PO, ALT, CPS); and the flagship CL V3 COB professional display launched at ISE 2026. Underlying technology spans micro-LED, flip-chip COB (with 9-layer HTB packaging delivering 30,000:1 contrast), dual-voltage power supplies (~90% conversion efficiency, up to 50% energy savings versus comparable DOOH products), UltraBlack, APS energy-saving, and the eDOOH energy-storage integration commercialized through subsidiary Ruidian Green Energy Technology.

Absen generates revenue through direct hardware sales, a tiered channel program (VAD/VAP/VAE/Service Partner), quote-based enterprise pricing on multi-year contracts, and AbsenCare subscription-style after-sales service packages. Customer mix is deliberately diversified across primary verticals — DOOH, Retail, Rental & Staging, and Virtual Production/Broadcasting — plus secondary segments including Enterprise, Government, Education, Sports, Commercial Display, and Religious Sites. Marquee deployments span NBA (Sacramento Kings), FIFA-tier venues, Times Square, the Louvre, Dior, BMW, FIBA U19 Women's Basketball World Cup, and the Guinness World Record Saudi Pavilion at Qatar Expo.
