The Expanding Role of LED Displays in Sports Venues
As LED displays become increasingly popular, their presence in major sports venues has grown significantly. From stadiums to outdoor winter sports arenas, LED displays are a vital element, enhancing audience engagement and adding dynamic visuals to sports events. Below is an introduction to the different types of LED displays used in sports venues, each designed to meet specific needs within the stadium environment.
1. Typical Application Solutions
1.1 LED Full-Color Main Screen
The full-color main LED screen is integral to sports venues, providing real-time playback of games and displaying exciting replays for fans. These LED displays connect with cameras positioned around the stadium, enabling fans to view live broadcasts and switch between angles effortlessly. For instance, at the 2023 Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia, LEDA’s LED display showcased video signals from on-site cameras, allowing fans to catch every detail. The replay feature helps referees make accurate decisions, reducing disputes and ensuring fair results.
In addition to replays, these LED screens are used for athlete introductions, score displays, and advertising. Whether it’s the Olympics, World Cup, or other events, LED displays are a fundamental component in stadiums, such as soccer fields, basketball courts, hockey rinks, and handball courts.
1.2 LED Scoreboards
LED scoreboards are commonly used in venues for sports like basketball, table tennis, and volleyball. These displays connect to the timing and scoring systems of the event, ensuring that fans can follow the latest scores and game statistics. Additionally, they may display match information, important notices, and other updates. Originally popular in single and dual-color formats, full-color LED scoreboards are now preferred due to their enhanced visual appeal.
1.3 LED Perimeter Screens
2.1 Positioning and Quantity Requirements for LED Displays
Perimeter LED screens, which surround soccer fields, are primarily used for advertising and match information display. These screens attract global brands and enhance the viewing experience by offering clear, dynamic visuals. The appeal of LED perimeter screens has grown significantly as they showcase sponsored content to a large audience, maximizing brand visibility.
2. Common Requirements for LED Displays Used in Sports Venues and Events
For optimal viewing, sports LED displays should be installed to ensure at least 95% of fixed-seating spectators have an unobstructed view. The viewing distance and angle should be broad enough for the screen’s content to be clearly visible to athletes, coaches, and referees.
2.2 Optical Performance Requirements for Sports LED Displays
LED displays used in sports venues must have a wide viewing angle, consistent brightness, and adjustable contrast. When background lighting is below 20 lx, the LED display’s contrast should reach at least 100:1. The screen’s color temperature should be adjustable within a range of 5000K to 9500K for optimal viewing based on venue lighting.
2.3 Real-Time Content Control on LED Displays
Sports LED displays must be capable of real-time scrolling timers, scoring displays, and match results. Full-color displays should allow for smooth switching between text, images, animations, and live broadcasts, providing an interactive and immersive experience.
