Hisense Commemorates a Century of Television Innovation and Unveils RGB MiniLED Technology

Celebrating 100 Years of Television

In an event that seamlessly intertwined the past and present, Hisense recently celebrated the monumental milestone of 100 years of television. This significant occasion took place at the historic location of 22 Frith Street, London—the very site where television pioneer John Logie Baird first showcased his groundbreaking invention in 1926. Hisense, a prominent name in consumer electronics, organized a celebratory event on October 24 and 25, 2026, under the theme "Celebrating 100 Years of Television. Hisense, the Origin of RGB MiniLED." This gathering not only commemorated the contributions of Baird but also heralded the next era in display technology with the introduction of Hisense's RGB MiniLED.

The centerpiece of the celebration was an immersive experience held at The Now Building in Outernet London, renowned for being Europe’s largest immersive digital experience space. Attendees were treated to an engaging showcase that brought a century of television history to life. Hisense utilized this occasion to present its state-of-the-art RGB MiniLED technology, which is set to redefine the viewing experience with enhanced color accuracy and brightness.

The two-day event featured a unique "London Walk through TV History," which guided visitors through five historical stops celebrating London’s rich television heritage while introducing them to cutting-edge display technology. The journey began at Bar Italia, located at the iconic 22 Frith Street, where attendees could enjoy complimentary coffee while participating in activities such as social media sharing, quizzes, and collecting limited-edition souvenirs.

On the afternoon of October 25, Iain Logie Baird, the grandson of John Logie Baird, made a special appearance at Bar Italia. His presence added a layer of gravitas to the event, bridging the gap between his grandfather’s pioneering achievements and his continuing legacy in display innovation through Hisense. Iain remarked on the progression of technology, comparing Hisense’s current innovations in RGB MiniLED to his grandfather's groundbreaking work, emphasizing the importance of making advanced display technologies accessible to the public.

The trail led visitors to The Now Building, where they could explore a museum-like exhibition dedicated to 100 years of television history and engage with Hisense's latest RGB MiniLED technology. This innovative display technology, exemplified by Hisense's flagship 116UXS TV, is designed to provide viewers with richer and more accurate colors, increased brightness, and stunning contrast ratios, ultimately creating a more immersive viewing experience.

In addition to this main event, participating retail stores along the trail offered hands-on experiences with Hisense's RGB MiniLED TVs, along with exclusive discounts and vouchers. Locations included major retailers such as John Lewis Partners and Selfridges on Oxford Street and Harrods on Brompton Road, giving attendees various opportunities to discover Hisense’s innovative products.

The celebration also conveyed a significant message about Hisense's vision for the future, with Arun Bhatoye, Head of Marketing for Hisense UK, expressing that the UK's rich broadcasting heritage makes it a meaningful location for such a momentous occasion. He emphasized that Hisense is committed to leading the development of display technology, continually pushing the boundaries of color, brightness, and contrast to enhance viewer experiences.
