Over the years, LED display technology has undergone dramatic changes in terms of resolution, size, color range, and more. In order to meet diverse needs, the curved LED display has been applied in many fields.
For investors who pursue personalization, a curved LED display wall has more advantages than a traditional flat LED screen. That’s why it has gradually become the new favorite in the industry.
If you are going to invest in curved display screens, this post will be your ultimate buying guide. Let’s read together!
1. Can LED Screen be Curved?
The shape of the traditional LED display is a flat rectangle. Although the flat LED display is widely used and occupies a large proportion of the market share, it is not suitable for some special occasions.
With the emergence of curved LED displays, people began to pay attention to this new screen. It’s safe to say that curved screens are the way of the future. Today’s hot outdoor naked-eye 3D LED display and immersive LED video wall all support this point of view.
Those who like computer games prefer curved LED monitors. Curved widescreen TV has also become a new generation choice for people who want to purchase entertainment facilities at home. The same is true for the LED display industry. The curved display screen is affecting people’s life.
Can LED Screen be Curved? Obviously, the answer is Yes. There are many ways to realize curved led screens. For example, use special products – indoor/outdoor soft flexible led modules, or seamless LED corners. In addition, the curved led display can also be obtained by using conventional flat led display panels for special transformation.
2. 6 Types of Curved LED Displays
Today, curved surface technology is widely used in televisions, computer monitors, and display screens. So, what kind of new changes will the combination of curved surface technology and LED technology produce? Below we will show you some common curved led display screens.
(1) Concave & Convex LED Display
Using different splicing methods, the LED display can be spliced into a concave led display and a convex led display. How to distinguish between a concave LED display and a convex LED display?
When a person stands in front of the screen body, the screen body is concave as a concave LED display. On the contrary, when people stand in front of the screen and watch it, the screen protrudes into a convex LED display.
Convex & Concave LED Display
How to Get Curved LED Wall with LED Screen Rental?
Taking rental led display screens as an example, different manufacturers have developed their own methods of splicing curved led display screens. High-precision curve lock is the key to realizing curved installation.
A. Rotary arc lock
Rotary arc locks can usually splice 3 kinds of arcs: 5°, 0°, -5°. Rely on the sliding arc to adjust the orientation, and then splice the cabinets.
Can be quickly controlled
There are fewer options for radians. Not suitable for some scenes with large arc requirements
B. Sliding arc lock
This rotation-controlled arc lock is designed with high precision, which solves the problem that the old arc lock is difficult to use. Taking the UNIT NG500 series rental led panel as an example, the high precision curve lock supports bending every 2.5° between -10° and 10°, which can be used as concave and convex led display.
Rotary control, more accurate, easy to use, quick adjustment of curve degree.
It is necessary to control the rotation accuracy to reduce the stitching error.
For small events or stages, you can consider using a movable led display truss to fix the rental stage led display! Customized LED screen wall ground stand support truss can realize a small curved led video wall.
This removable led screen ground stand is portable, strong, and stable. And it’s easy to operate, requiring no scaffolding or scaffolding or personnel lift.
(2) Immersive LED Display
The space created by the LED immersive screen has a three-dimensional effect. With the development of digital multimedia, high-tech digital interactive creative display projects have been more applied.
The medium-to-large curved led video wall with radians completely covers the sight range of human eyes. The curved led immersive screen can meet the needs of various virtual applications for immersion. And it is a good choice for creating large-scale virtual reality scenes.
(3) Outdoor 3D LED Billboard
The naked-eye 3D led billboard attracts the attention of pedestrians in the city center. It brings cool special effects, novel pictures, and higher attention.
In order to obtain the best naked-eye 3D effect, common outdoor 3D billboards are installed at street corners. It adopts a 90° right-angle arc installation to realize a non-two-dimensional display surface. The arc parts (PCB, module, cabinet) are all custom-developed products to achieve a good arc display effect.
(4) Creative LED Display
Cylinder led displays and sphere led displays belong to creative led displays. The LED cylindrical screen has the characteristics of being thin, lightweight, extremely small in size, high pixel density, can display curved surfaces, and 360-degree multi-screen viewing.
Creative cylinder & sphere led screen is suitable for multimedia release and display occasions such as exhibition venues, indoor and outdoor advertisements, stations, and airports.
(5) Curved Transparent LED Display
The curved LED transparent screen has the characteristics of high transparency and better modeling ability. Many commercial centers have adopted a full range of curved transparent screens.
3 Methods of Curved Transparent LED Display
The radius of the arc is greater than 1 meter: make the cabinet into a vertical strip, splice, and installed
0.5-1 meter: Make the cabinet into a curved shape, and then splice the unit modules
If it is less than 0.5 meters, make a special vertical strip unit, and the steel structure of the screen also needs to be curved.
(6) Virtual Production LED Wall
Virtual filming replaced green screen filming. The creative team can easily complete the shooting work in the scene created by the visual production curved LED video wall.
Most virtual shooting video walls consist of three parts: large curved LED wall, LED floor display, and ceiling LED display.
Why do LED virtual production walls mostly use large-area curved video walls? This is because curved LED video walls make it easier to create realistic virtual scenes than flat screens.
The filming of the first Star Wars live-action series The Mandalorian, which debuted on Disney+ in 2019, made virtual filming a hot topic.
StageCraft, which consists of a 270° surrounding curved video wall and a huge sky screen, has also become the source of inspiration for many film and television production companies to build virtual studios.
3. Benefits You Can Get From Curved LED Video Wall
So, what are the advantages of a curved led display compared with a flat led display? What benefits will it bring to your project?
