What Happens When LED Industry Meets “5G+8K”

Today I am going to talk about the application of 5G techonlogy in LED industry.

I believe that many of you have already heard of 5G technology, but what exactly is the concept of 5G technology?

What is 5G technology to the LED industry is an opportunity? Or is it a challenge?

What is the concept of 5G-linked LED display?

5G technology, also known as 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology (5GMT).

What are the features of 5G technology？

（1）With high speed, low latency and wide connection. And is a network infrastructure that enables the interconnection of people, machines and things. In layman’s terms, it is a technology that allows people to be connected to the outside world through communication technology.

（2）5G technology not only solve the problems of people connection but also can provide people to strengthen the reality、virtual reality 、3D video and other more immersive ultimate business experience.

Like 3D led screen, it is also based on the tech of 5G.

The connections between LED Industry and 5G+8K

Areas of interest：

Large conferences， transport， hotels， brand new smart display terminals for various public facilities.

Large-scale event displays

The 2019 Spring Festival Gala features the first 4K Ultra HD footage, as well as a 5G network transmission.

The “4K+5G” live LED display has been launched. It brings a different experience to the audience.

Onyx LED cinema screens

In 2019, there was one of the world’s largest Onyx LED cinema screens at the National Centre for the Performing Arts, enabling 4K and HDR image display, with picture details transmitted by 5G signals and 4K cameras to the display LED screen, and all the audience at the venue witnessed the success of this 5G-linked LED cinema display.

As LED displays become more and more intelligent, the requirements for network transmission speed are becoming higher and higher. 5G signals are faster, have a wider radiation range, higher stability and wider coverage than the current 4G, so the collision between 5G-linked and the LED display industry is unstoppable.

LED street pole screens

With the rapid development of 5G technology and the consequent intelligence, personalisation and customisation of LED light pole screens, LED light pole screens have become a consumer trend that can bring benefits to intelligent transportation and city beautification.

5G-linked LED displays to break through the limits of technology, from the industry as a whole to the niche sector, to provide 5G-linked LED displays for different industries, with a perfect and personalised design to meet the diverse and modern needs of buyers.

Many tier 1 cities are paying more and more attention to the establishment of urban intelligent management systems, partly to create an urban landscape, and partly to accelerate modernisation.

Although high speed can be achieved using 5G data transmission, the distance is limited and a road cannot be only a dozen metres. So a high density of base stations has to be set up to support adequate coverage.

With each street light set up at intervals of no more than 30 metres, the 5G signal has a coverage range of around 100 metres, so there is a lot of flexibility for smart street light displays.

In 2019, there was one of the world’s largest Onyx LED cinema screens at the National Centre for the Performing Arts, enabling 4K and HDR image display, with picture details transmitted by 5G signals and 4K cameras to the display LED screen, and all the audience at the venue witnessed the success of this 5G-linked LED cinema display.

With the widespread use of small pixel pitch tech, market demand is increasing day by day.

The combination of LED display and 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology means that LEDs can move into more areas

It is both an opportunity and a challenge for the LED display industry. It is both an opportunity and a challenge for the LED display industry.

Data transmission：

As a new technology，5G tech will break the limits on data transmission. What was not possible with LED displays in the past may be realized after the emergence of 5G technology.

However, 5G technology also requires higher picture quality clarity, screen refresh rate and resolution for LED displays.

What technologies are derived from "LED Display Wisdom + 5G"?

Based on the luminous properties of LED displays, emerging technology has emerged – Li-fi technology. To achieve interconnection, 5G technology requires a wider coverage area.

Li-fi technology allows purpose-built LED lights to provide network-free connectivity anywhere, and the researchers used miniature LED bulbs to achieve 3.5 Gb/s data transmission speed. Data transmission technology to LED bulbs has made a breakthrough in terms of transmission speed – 10 Gb/s.

LED displays are becoming increasingly popular and various technologies are emerging, with Li-fi technology promising a cheaper and more energy-efficient radio communication system.

5G-linked LED display faced issues：

Challenge

We all know that this is an information age, LED industry through 5G access to the new information of the times, prompting the LED display industry to update.

If LEDs are to use 5G communication technology, changes will have to be made in the area of display effects, requiring higher refresh rates and technology support for higher definition picture quality.

This also makes the LED display industry fully optimized and upgraded, for now, the LED display industry is a challenge, because although many people have heard of 5G communication technology, at the same time there are few people to link LED display and 5G technology, really can do few and far between.

5G-linked LED display not only requires human research costs but there are also material costs, like 5G chip research and development of small and micro enterprises is difficult to achieve.

5G communication technology is not a gimmick, nor is it used for hype.

Opportunities

If some LED display manufacturers can seize this opportunity and follow the trend, I believe that this technology can also become his strong competitiveness in this industry.

Some companies are very forward-looking and are already actively exploring and have come up with viable solutions for combining LED displays and 5G communication technology.

For example, LED chip manufacturer San’an has begun to study 5G chips, and some video processor manufacturers have also provided solutions for display screens 5G+8K, and there have also been breakthroughs in packaging technology.

How can we push the boundaries of greyscale, brightness, contrast and refresh rate levels is the question that LED manufacturers should be thinking about.

Therefore, 5G communication technology is also an opportunity for the LED display industry.l

VMP, a what you see is what you get control software, with smooth and smooth control, makes the dialogue between the user and the display become handy.

CX80 Pro, single port 8K input, 5G transmission bandwidth, with CA50E receiving card, can realize 8K large screen, single device loading.
The modular input sub-card can meet the interface requirements of users in different scenarios.
Two channels of 40G fiber optic channels make the long-distance transmission and wiring of 8K large screens easier.

Summary

Anyway, 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology is a trend of the Internet, 5G-linked LED display as new tech, LED screen manufacturers should catch the chance for winning a greater head start on development. Accelerating the transformation and upgrading of enterprises and creating more possibilities for LED industry.
