China’s major city Shenzhen, as part of its mission of becoming a Smart City role model, has introduced the world's largest narrow pixel pitch (NPP) LED display system provided by leading LED manufacturer Absen, at Longgang district.

The NPP LED display system is composed of 798 panels with an elegant curve of 37.1 m in radius. This 166.9 sq m 1.2mm screen is 25.6m by 6.5m and contains a record-breaking 103 million pixels, a statement said.

Featuring industry-leading technologies like power and data redundancy, CrystalView and PreciseAlign technology, this control room solution can offer quality images, comfortable viewing experience and robust stability, it added.

About 181 signals are received and displayed through 105 windows at 720p (40 at 1080p and 10 at 4K resolution).

Zhang Yongfeng, sales director, Absen, said: “To engineer such an enormous curved screen of high resolution in 85 days from production to installation is a big challenge.”

“The centre was still being built and full of dust during installation process. Thanks to our sophisticated technologies and highly-effective teams, it was really a tough task, but we made it,” he said.

The highlights of this project are the innovative power and data redundancy technology, which secures the robust stability of the "smart city brain". Each panel is equipped with two power banks and two receiving cards so that the power and signal can be switched to the backup set whenever needed, which means the display system will never go down.

Wu Yanbin, project manager, said: “We once were in a dilemma of choosing LCD, DLP or LED. LCD and DLP screen would show unacceptable gaps for a demanding control room environment.”

“But we know it is right when we try CR1.2 and see each panel fits seamlessly to the next, leaving no black bezel, not to mention the power and signal backup design. That's why we choose Absen,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
