Electronics Era: In 2026, what technologies are redefining the future of displays?
Pankaj Bellad: The definition of a display is fundamentally changing. It is no longer just a rectangle on a wall; it is becoming an intelligent surface that integrates seamlessly into our environment.
Two specific technologies are driving this: MicroLED and Transparent OLED. We are moving toward a reality where the technology disappears until you need it. MicroLED allows us to build modular, bezel-free canvases of any size with incredible brightness and longevity. Meanwhile, transparent displays are bridging the physical and digital worlds allowing a retail window or a corporate partition to instantly transform into a dynamic information layer. At LOGIC, we see these not just as hardware upgrades, but as the next step in frictionless interaction, where the screen is no longer a barrier, but a bridge.
Electronics Era: How is AI being integrated into AV solutions, and what impact is it having on performance and user experience?
Pankaj Bellad: AI has moved beyond being a buzzword to becoming the central nervous system of our AV ecosystem. It is no longer just about automation; it is about active assistance and generative capability.
With our Logic NeoAI integration in our Interactive Displays, we have shifted from “smart” displays to “conscious” collaborators. We aren’t just giving users a screen; we are giving them an AI companion that handles the heavy lifting of content creation and comprehension.
For instance, the impact on user experience is transformative in three key ways:
- Instant Context: With features like Circle It. Know It, a user can simply circle an image or text to trigger real-time explanations, removing the need to switch devices to search for information.
- Automated Workflow: We have integrated a Smart Test Builder that instantly generates quizzes (MCQs, match-the-following) from the written content on the board. This drastically reduces preparation time for educators.
- Inclusivity and Clarity: Our Video Pilot feature auto-generates live subtitles and content summaries in multiple languages.
Combined with the whiteboard’s ability to convert handwriting to text and its intelligent palm rejection, the technology feels intuitive. You don’t manage the AV; the AV supports you, allowing you to focus entirely on the human connection.
Electronics Era: What shifts in customer expectations are you noticing for AV solutions in 2026?
Pankaj Bellad: The biggest shift is that reliability has become the new luxury. Customers are exhausted by friction. They don’t want “setup time”; they want “instant on”.
In 2026, the expectation is that the technology must be invisible. A teacher or a CEO doesn’t care about the specs; they care about the flow. They expect systems that are self-healing, detecting and fixing issues before they cause downtime. Furthermore, they demand Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) transparency. They value a product that is built to last five years over a cheaper unit that becomes e-waste in two. They are buying peace of mind, not just pixels.
Electronics Era: How are LED displays expanding beyond traditional advertising use cases?
Pankaj Bellad: We are witnessing the democratization of Virtual Production. What was once the domain of Hollywood studios is now entering the corporate boardroom and the university lecture hall.
Enterprises are using fine-pitch LED walls not just for lobbies, but to create broadcast-grade internal studios for town halls and training, replacing green screens with immersive, realistic digital backgrounds. Additionally, in architecture, LED is becoming a dynamic material, digital wallpapers that change the mood of a workspace. It’s no longer about advertising; it’s about environmental storytelling.
Electronics Era: What emerging opportunities do you believe will define the next 3–5 years in display technology?
Pankaj Bellad: The next frontier is the Hyper-Personalized Ecosystem. We are moving toward a world where a display recognizes who is in front of it and adapts its interface and content accordingly.
Beyond that, Sustainability as a Service will be a massive opportunity. Clients will increasingly mandate carbon-neutral AV deployments. The winners in the next 3–5 years will be the companies that can prove their displays are not only high-performance but also actively contribute to a building’s LEED certification or net-zero goals.
Electronics Era: How important are sustainability and energy efficiency in AV decisions?
Pankaj Bellad: Sustainability is no longer a “nice-to-have” checkbox; it is a decisive factor in procurement, especially for government and large enterprise projects.
At LOGIC, we treat this as an ethical imperative.
We focus on three pillars: Energy Efficiency (lowering the daily operational footprint), Product Longevity (reducing e-waste by building industrial-grade durability), and Supply Chain Responsibility. Clients understand that an energy-efficient display that lasts longer is not just good for the planet, it is financially smarter. Innovation with Integrity means we don’t pass the environmental cost down to the future.
Electronics Era: How is LOGIC aligning its innovation roadmap for 2026 and beyond?
Pankaj Bellad: Our roadmap is aligned with a single mission: Human-Centric Intelligence.
We are doubling down on Logic NeoAI to make our displays the most intuitive in the market. But beyond the hardware, we are engineering the “symphony of connected surfaces” through our centralized management platform, NeoSignage.
NeoSignage is the conductor of this ecosystem. It transforms isolated screens into a unified network, allowing teams to remotely monitor device health, configure settings like volume and power, and push instant announcements across all interactive panels and digital signage simultaneously.
Most importantly, we are staying true to our roots in design thinking. We aren’t just chasing higher resolutions; we are solving fundamental human pain points to ensure that our technology amplifies human potential rather than complicating it.
