China's LED technology continues to make breakthroughs and innovations Witness to the Double Olympics
In the past, due to the high difficulty and high cost of LED technology, the protagonist of the visual design of large-scale performance activities was usually a projector, and LED products were fewer. But with the development of China's LED optical display industry, in the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, the innovative use of LED scrolls, in fact, at that time, Zhang Yimou's team on the use or not use of LED displays, there was a very fierce debate. Because the LED display technology at that time was not mature enough, there were often flashing pictures and black screens. To this end, Zhang Yimou was also worried about the instability of the LED stage.
However, with the rapid development of LED technology and the realization of domestic substitution, led luminous display has overcome many problems in this 2022 Olympic Games. This time, Zhang Yimou innovated again, using a full LED solution, including 11600 ㎡ LED floor tile display + 1200 ㎡ ice waterfall + 600 ㎡ ice cube + 143 ㎡ Olympic five rings + 1000 ㎡ Bird's Nest on both sides of the grandstand LED large screen, forming the world's largest high-definition LED three-dimensional stage.
In order to ensure no mistakes, LED ground screen in the entire design needs to ensure "high reliability" and "stability", in the power supply and signal processing need to have AB backup, screen LED light by A screen + B screen constitutes a complete screen, that is, dual screen system - A screen and B screen dual screen light board structure and power supply system common, controller, driver and light board electrically independent of each other.
