Pyeongchang 2018 Olympics Closing Ceremony Used YIPLED Transparent LED Display
The transparent LED display is a sort of innovative glass-like LED display, it’s evolved from curtain screen with thinner PCB strip and smaller pixel pitch. Unlike the traditional LED video wall, it will not block the light, allowing the audience to see what is shown on the screen while still being able to see through it. It’s a new ultra-transparent LED display technology offering 70% -95% of the permeation rate, the SMD LED lamp welding has two types: side-emitting and front-emitting. YIPLED transparent LED display features its advanced side-emitting SMD welding technology, smart control, light weight and modularized structural design, creates a unique aesthetic and immersive experience at the live event & entertainment stage.
YIPLED has redefined the transparent LED display by integrating side-emitting SMD technology, the SMD LED lamp is welded on wide side of PCB strip, here are three major features:
- The thickness of PCB strip is about 1.2 mm, the distance between two strips is about 7.8mm, so the permeation rate could be (7.8 -1.2)/7.8 x 100% = 85%, the pixel pitch vary from 3.9 x 7.8 mm, 7.8 x 7.8mm to 10.4 x 10.4mm, which makes a clear see-through visual effect, the ideal viewing distance in front of the transparent LED display is 10m+.
- The side-emitting LED lamp is crash-proof from the front face during the installation and disassembly, which ensure the safely and quality of the lamps.
- By using the curved LED lamp, the viewing angle may reach 160 degrees maximum, the LED light emitting toward the audience from 0-160 degree is average and uniform.
The side-emitting technology breaks the capabilities of front-emitting LED display which is conventional used for decades.
Besides, the YIPLED transparent LED display adopts modularized structural design, 8 pin vibration-proof port, light-weighted aluminum frame, smart control by integrated self-developed control system.
