What is C-TOUCH & DISPLAY Shenzhen?
C-TOUCH & DISPLAY (全触与显示展) is RX's trade show for the display and touch-panel supply chain. It is held every autumn at Shenzhen World in Bao'an as part of a cluster of eight shows that share the halls and the dates. The others include NEPCON ASIA (electronics manufacturing), Automotive World China, VisionChina (machine vision), Commercial Display, the Film & Tape Expo and a new AI+AR Smart Glasses Industry Expo. In 2026 it fills Halls 10, 12, 14 and 16 under the theme "AI-driven display innovation". RX gives cluster-wide figures of roughly 3,500–3,600 exhibitors and 160,000–180,000 m² for the eight shows; its Chinese and English pages differ.
This is an upstream show. The floor is about how screens are made: glass substrates and cover glass (including ultra-thin glass for foldables), optical films, OCA adhesives and polarisers, driver ICs, LCD/OLED/Mini- and Micro-LED panels, touch modules, and the coating, laminating, printing, laser and inspection equipment behind them. Newer zones cover automotive displays and smart cockpits, AI/AR glasses from optics to finished frames, e-paper, laser projection, and advanced semiconductor packaging using glass (TGV through-glass vias and panel-level packaging). For 2026 RX names BOE, Truly, IRICO, Kibing, NAURA, KTC, Wgtech and 7invensun among its Chinese exhibitors. International featured exhibitors include Instrument Systems, TRUMPF Hüttinger, Topcon, Dr. Schenk, Doosung and Seiko Advance. Korean companies get a dedicated Korea Day.
Visitors are mostly engineers, buyers and managers from panel makers, touch-module and cover-lens factories, camera-module makers, and the brands that use screens in phones, laptops, cars, appliances, signage and wearables. The conference programme runs from 27 to 28 October 2026. It includes an OLED forum on BT.2020 colour, a smart-cockpit and automotive display summit, an AI+AR smart-glasses leaders' summit with an awards night, a glass-substrate/TGV packaging summit, and the International Commercial Display Elite Summit alongside a JD.com commercial-display channel conference. RX also runs TAP, a matchmaking programme for invited buyers.
Shenzhen and the Pearl River Delta host a large share of China's panel, module and device assembly, so a lot of the supply chain is within a short drive. If you design or buy anything with a screen, this is where to meet the material and component suppliers. Pre-registration gets a free badge, and the same badge covers the other shows in Halls 9–16 that week.
Why go
- Meet the display supply chain in one place: glass, films, adhesives, driver ICs, panels, touch modules and the equipment that makes them
- Follow hot segments with their own zones: AI/AR smart glasses, smart cockpits and automotive displays, Micro LED, e-paper, glass-substrate (TGV) packaging
- Free with pre-registration (on-site tickets are listed at a ¥100 value), and one badge also covers NEPCON ASIA, Automotive World China and the other shows in Halls 9–16
- 20+ summits and forums, including the Commercial Display Elite Summit and the Smart Cockpit & Automotive Display Summit
- Buyer matchmaking through RX's TAP programme
Our take
Pre-register online to skip the ticket charge, then plan by hall. Display and touch sit in Halls 10, 12, 14 and 16, and the AI+AR glasses expo is in Hall 16. The same badge gets you into NEPCON ASIA and the other cluster shows, so it's easy to combine several in one trip. Some forums (for example the OLED forum) charge extra.
Go if you're
- Display-panel, touch-module, cover-lens and camera-module manufacturers
- Hardware brands and ODMs sourcing screens for phones, laptops, wearables, appliances and signage
- Automotive cockpit and in-vehicle display engineers
- AI/AR glasses start-ups looking for optics, display and component suppliers

- Or pre-register onlineFree, about 3 minutes. You get a QR e-badge and skip the counter queue. Organiser's registration page ↗
- Collect your badgeShow the QR (or your passport) at the badge desk. Screenshot it first — venue Wi-Fi is slow on day one.

Flying in? The visitor guide
What international buyers ask us most, in one place.
Many passports get 30 days visa-free, and 55 nationalities can use 240-hour visa-free transit via Shenzhen when flying on to a third country. Check your eligibility before booking.
Link a Visa or Mastercard to Alipay or WeChat Pay before you fly — booths, taxis and canteens rarely take cards. Keep ¥500 cash for samples.
Get a roaming eSIM: Google, WhatsApp and Gmail don't work on hotel or venue Wi-Fi. Suppliers will ask for your WeChat, not your email.
Pre-register, bring your passport to collect the badge, and pack 200 business cards. Photograph each card next to the booth number — you'll forget by day two.
Hall English is patchy outside the big brands. A freelance interpreter costs ¥800–1,500 a day; book a week ahead for big fairs.
Don't carry 40 kg home. SF Express and DHL counters sit in the main lobbies and will ship samples door to door from about ¥200.
Hotels on site sell out months ahead. Bao'an Center or Qianhai are 25–30 min away with far more choice.
- Wear proper walking shoes — 20k steps a day is normal.
- Taxi queues after 5pm are brutal; walk to Shenzhen World North station or book a Didi for 4:30pm.
- Food courts sit along the central corridor; the ones at the far ends are quieter.
