CIOE spans the optoelectronics chain through eight thematic exhibitions covering communications, precision optics, lasers, infrared and ultraviolet technologies, sensing, displays, AR/VR and photonics innovation. This structure lets component buyers, equipment teams and application developers follow light-based technologies from materials and devices through production equipment and system integration, rather than viewing optoelectronics as a single product category.
The 2026 event is the 27th CIOE, giving the multi-exhibition platform an established position within Shenzhen's technology calendar.
