Tronic has crafted seven minutes of animated and live-action branded content for the Victory Media Network, the world’s first large-scale, outdoor digital arts gallery, in Dallas, Texas. The content, part of Target’s “Art for All” initiative, plays three times a day, as a countdown to noon, 6:00 pm and midnight, on eight huge LED screens in Victory Park, a new downtown Dallas development linked to the American Airlines Center.

Victory Park, which opened March 23, offers visitors an interactive mix of advertising, education, entertainment and art while providing brand advertisers an opportunity to create immersive environments and captivating experiences for the 17 million visitors annually expected at Victory Park.

Element Labs, Inc., an industry leader in LED video technology, was contracted by Doha Asian Games Organising Committee (DAGOC) to created the largest custom LED screen ever used for a live event. Especially designed for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 15th Asian Games in Doha, Qatar, the exterior Versa® RAY screen made its debut during the Opening Ceremony on December 1, 2006 at Khalifa Stadium.
The massive size of the display—covering over 4,500 square meters, or 45,000 square feet—allowed it to be used in ways previously unachievable. It was both an integral element of the show on the field as well as an informative display during the Parade of Athletes. Hours of rich, beautiful content were created specifically for the Ceremonies to dazzle the audience and make the event unlike anything seen before.

Quiet Revolution Ltd develops and supplies elegant renewable energy solutions, especially small wind products optimised for use at the point of energy demand. Their goal is to promote and enable wind energy as a key technology to renewable and distributed energy generation and microgeneration.

That is very interesting, QR is also available in a unique model capable of creating a striking visual display that is part artwork, part renewable energy device, part communications medium.

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) embedded in each of its three S-shaped blades fire in sequence as the blades rotate, painting a video screen that appears to hang in the air. This full colour and motion image is clearly visible day and night. Their display can be used either as a temporary installation at a high profile event or as a permanent feature. Early customers for quietrevolution display are mostly city councils across the UK attracted to this unique means of communicating with the local community on climate change and its solutions.

1. Turbine Light concept

During the last ten years Lightengine has developed a display management architecture, drawing from its experience with major projects, which now offers truly advanced integration of lighting, moving imagery and real time control. Using high performance, open systems-based computing and networks, and drawing upon reliability and data security techniques from the aerospace industry, Lightengine products allow ambitious and very large installations to be undertaken which would not previously have been possible.

Key to this capability is Lightengine’s Pixelbus� architecture � a structured approach to building and operating heterogeneous display systems for both temporary events or permanent installations � quickly and reliably. Pixelbus� uses industry-standard gigabit ethernet and RS-485 to connect a completely scalable network of low-cost computers – Lightengine Image Generators – with displays, enabling multi-vendor break installations to be configured quickly and easily.

Whether LED panel, DMX lighting or Lightengine’s own revolutionary Patch displays, Pixelbus� reduces complex cabling, matches brightness and colour and offers the highest possible performance without any restrictions of scale or addressing. The result is that even complex installations with real time control can be built from Lightengine components without costly engineering development – integrated solutions using existing multi-vendor displays.

Does anybody remember great 3D display cube that we talk about 3 month ago? If not let us remember:

Each 3D Display Cube is a true spatial display unit that utilizes 1000 individually controllable LEDs to create 3D forms and animations. Whether used for retail or public display, signage applications, home display, or advertising, the 3D Cube captivates viewers with it’s orignal use of LED technology.

The Display Cube was created as a reaction to the limitations of current display technologies. Televisions and monitors can only 2d information because their display surface is flat. The 3D Cube uses a spatial array of LEDs that each act as a spatial pixel, allowing it to create true spatial forms and animations.

The 3D Cube’s technology is backed by 1 issued utility patent and 2 pending utility patents. Upon purchase, buyer may select up to five 1 minute animations to be preloaded into the Cube to allow for immediate use upon delivery. A serial cable is also included allow users to design and upload their own animations and content to the Cube.

Now, you are able to purchase your own for the 3000 $. It’s a little expensive but I think that it worth every cent.

1. Massive Installation Utilizes More Than 40,000 LEDs

Taiwan-based Polo Tech, which claims a patent on rotating LED fan display technology, has plans for a USB-programmable model, although the release date is undecided, company representative Alice Wang said at Computex in Taipei. Users will be able to use an internal USB connection and software to change the fan display in real time to show their name, or any other text or simple graphics.

The fans generate the display with a rotating stick of circuit board with a vertical line of LEDs on it. This is mounted on the fan’s axis, and spins as the fan spins. Polo Tech’s driver IC can also handle simple animation, and even colour changes, given suitable LEDs. The IC also handles the precise timing calculations required to keep the display steady.

The “Electrotechnische Vereeniging”, the association for students of electrical engineering from the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), will reveal the world’s largest 3D-display Sunday 23rd of April. The display measures 8 metres in width, 4 metres in height and 2 metres in depth and consists of a matrix of 8.000 LEDs with table tennis balls around them. This stunt is being organised because of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the “Electrotechnische Vereeniging” (ETV). The display will be revealed on Sunday at 9.00 pm local time on the ‘Markt’ in Delft.

It will be possible to send text messages to the MatriXX during the times it is operating. Send your sms/text to +31 (0) 6 24 171 797 . It will be displayed during the next sms display time slot. Threats, rude language etc will be filtered.

The “360° LED Display”‘s real pixel has a size as fine as 2.5 by 2.5mm. Crisp and vivid images remain for any viewing distance and guarantee authentic video quality even for spectators close to the display.
All flying LEDs are calibrated using proprietary correction technology to assure color uniformity across the entire screen and display 16.7 million distinct true colors.

Each LED acts as one spatial pixel and can be refreshed at a rate of over 60 fps creating a low resolution 3D television. The Cube has an input device (serial input) that allows data to be sent to the cube to manipulate the 3D data live. The display unit can then be hooked up to a camera for live video input , or to a sound module chip to take in live audio input.
