At sports stadiums or concerts, you can see giant LED screens, which are called “Jumbotrons.” If you’re not familiar with Jumbotrons, follow along with this article to learn more!
Definition of Jumbotron
“Jumbotron” was originally a trademark for LED screens produced by Sony Japan. However, as time went on, Sony Japan ceased production of LED screens, and the term gradually came to refer to large-scale LED screens in general.
A Jumbotron is a large-scale LED screen that provides high-definition, high-contrast, and high-brightness display images, allowing you to see clearly even from a distance.
How Jumbotrons Work
Light Emission Principle: Jumbotrons are primarily made of LEDs. When an electric current passes through them, the LEDs undergo a quantum leap phenomenon, releasing a large amount of energy and converting electrical energy into light energy, thereby enabling the Jumbotron to emit light.
Color Principle: Jumbotron’s LED chips integrate three primary color LED diodes: red, blue, and green. By controlling the brightness of these primary colors, different hues can be mixed to produce a full-color display.
Advantages of Jumbotron
Modular Design
Modular design refers to the seamless integration of Jumbotron’s LED modules and cabinets, enabling the screen size to be expanded indefinitely. This design significantly facilitates installation and disassembly by staff, improving work efficiency.
Creative Design
Creative design is a major advantage that distinguishes the Jumbotron from traditional displays. It primarily refers to the Jumbotron being crafted into various creative shapes, such as round, sphere, or hexagon. This creative design endows the Jumbotron with unique aesthetic appeal and a modern aesthetic, offering viewers an exceptional visual experience.
Exceptional Clarity
For the Jumbotron, its resolution is achieved through seamless splicing, enabling resolutions of 4K, 8K, or even 16K and above, resulting in high-definition image quality and delivering exceptional clarity.
High Brightness
In terms of brightness, the Jumbotron’s brightness range is 4,000 to 5,500 cd/m². In outdoor environments, the high brightness of the Jumbotron allows you to clearly see the displayed content even under strong sunlight. The high brightness of the Jumbotron ensures clear visibility from a distance, providing a comfortable viewing experience in large indoor environments.
High Contrast
Contrast ratio refers to the between the dark and bright areas of the Jumbotron, with a ratio of 10,000:1, offering very high contrast. The high-contrast Jumbotron features 16-bit color depth and gray levels, ensuring smoother transitions between colors and brightness levels, resulting in a near-realistic full-color display.
Durability
Constructed using high-quality materials and advanced protective processes, the Jumbotron is resistant to moisture, dust, and other contaminants, ensuring exceptional durability. Additionally, the Jumbotron undergoes aging tests during production, ensuring its quality and a lifespan of 100,000 hours.
Real-time updates
Equipped with WiFi or 4G modules, the Jumbotron enables real-time updates of display content. Beyond real-time updates, the Jumbotron can integrate camera systems to provide live broadcasts or news systems to deliver news and weather information.
Split-Screen Display
Splitting a complete display screen into multiple smaller windows is known as split-screen display. This is one of the Jumbotron’s key advantages, as it can be divided into up to four smaller windows, each displaying different content, allowing users to understand the displayed information more intuitively.
System Integration
Jumbotron can be integrated with AV systems and lighting systems. When integrated with an AV system, Jumbotron delivers a consistent audiovisual immersive experience; when integrated with a lighting system, it creates stunning visual effects.
Applications of Jumbotron
Stadiums
During large-scale sports events, Jumbotron is typically suspended at the center of the stadium, displaying split-screen live broadcasts of the game, sports commentary, highlights replays, and score updates for each team, enabling viewers to clearly understand the progress of the competition and creating a more intense and exciting atmosphere.
Concerts
At concerts, the Jumbotron serves as the backdrop for the performance stage. It switches between different visuals based on the performance style and the performer’s movements, providing an immersive experience for the performers. Additionally, the Jumbotron coordinates with lighting and AV equipment to deliver an extraordinary audiovisual feast for the audience.
Billboards
In commercial districts or shopping malls, the Jumbotron is made into billboards of various shapes, displaying different advertisements in sequence. The Jumbotron’s exquisite and vivid display enhances people’s impressions of the products and brands being advertised, encouraging them to prioritize these options when they have a need, thereby promoting economic development and expanding brand influence.
Trade Exhibitions
At trade exhibitions, Jumbotron displays different special effects based on the products, adding a unique charm to the showcased items, attracting consumers’ attention, and facilitating communication between consumers and traders. Especially at car shows and LED display exhibitions, Jumbotron can play a significant role.
