How to Fix the Moire Effect on LED Screens

Moiré effect on LED screen｜Causes, Prevention and Solutions

Preface: LED is as an activity industry practitioners we are most familiar with a display medium, it can be said that in a variety of projects almost all will use it, but in a variety of use environment, LED screen moiré effect often become a big problem to bother us, this unpleasant visual phenomenon in the end is how to produce? What kind of impact will it have on the display effect? For the industry, what are the effective prevention and solution strategies?

In this article, RIGARD LED will take an in-depth look at the Moiré effect on LED displays, revealing the principles behind its creation and providing practical prevention and solutions. If you are facing the problem of Moiré effect, or want to learn more about coping strategies, this article will help you master the methods to ensure the best display effect of LED display.

What is the Moiré effect on LED displays?

The Moiré effect is a visual distortion phenomenon that occurs when two similar or slightly different patterns overlap or are superimposed, resulting in a strange pattern on the screen.

This phenomenon creates irregular streaks in the image or video displayed on your LED screen. Simply put, the Moiré effect occurs when unusual streaks appear on the display screen that do not match the original display.

“Moire” is a French word meaning “ripple” or “hazy”, which corresponds to the undulating stripes that the effect usually produces. These patterns can interfere with the viewer’s visual perception, creating a confusing or even uncomfortable visual experience. They may affect the clarity of the entire image, text or video, or interfere with the presentation of reasonable portions of it.

For example, when you’re watching an event or your favorite TV show, if rainbow-like distorted patterns appear on the screen that don’t match the original display, this could be the Moiré effect on the LED screen.

Sometimes, the Moiré effect can occur on a wide scale, making it difficult to recognize the original display. Next, we will discuss the various factors that trigger the Moiré effect, the corresponding solutions, and how to prevent it from happening again.

What causes the Moiré effect on LED screens?

The Moiré effect has become a common problem faced by businesses and individuals when using large LED screens, and while some people know what it is and why it occurs, others may be unfamiliar with it, and here is a list of 18 causes of Moiré effect on LED screens:

LED screen resolution is low: This means that the pixels on the screen are larger than they should be and therefore more conspicuous, resulting in the inability to display finer details. For example, when you try to display small fonts or detailed images, a low-resolution screen can lead to the appearance of the Moiré effect.
Insufficient refresh rate: A slower refresh rate means that your LED wall can’t keep up with the rapid changes in the image, which leads to flickering or blurring and affects the display of the original pattern. For example, if you are running a game at high speed, a slower refresh rate may create a moire effect on the LED screen.
Pixel misalignment: When selecting an LED screen, the alignment of the display must be considered. If the pixels on the LED screen are not aligned for some reason, an interference pattern will be created, resulting in a distorted image or video display.
Low-quality anti-aliasing: The jagged effect is a distortion phenomenon that occurs when the LED screen displays digital images and videos at a resolution lower than the original content. On the other hand, anti-aliasing is a hardware and software system used to smooth the edges and reduce the appearance of jagged effects of technology. If the anti-aliasing of the system is not effective, it may create an interference pattern that affects the display of the content. For example, applying a low-quality filter to an image with parallel lines may not effectively smooth these lines, but instead create a new interference pattern on the LED screen, known as the Moiré effect.
Software or driver incompatibility: Software and drivers are responsible for interpreting digital images or videos and displaying them on the LED screen. If users or software administrators use incompatible software or drivers, they may not be able to correctly interpret the content data, which leads to visual phenomena, such as the Moore effect on the LED screen. In addition, incompatible software or drivers may cause the image or video to be scaled or resolved incorrectly, making the moire effect worse than it otherwise would be.
Low quality video cables: It is important to use high quality equipment when using LED screens to display content. For example, using low quality video cables to connect your LED wall to other devices can also lead to the Moiré effect.
Overlapping elements on the LED screen: When two patterns overlap or are superimposed on the LED screen, an interference pattern is created, resulting in the Moiré effect. Some examples of overlapping elements on the LED screen include:
- Multiple tabs open at the same time in a browser overlap each other.
- Display dialog boxes or pop-up windows on other windows.
- Overlapping images or graphics, such as icons or logos.
- User interface elements, including buttons or menus, above other elements of an application or website.
- Overlapping text or other content, such as subtitles or annotations displayed on an image or video. Typically, any visual elements displayed on an LED screen or other display device with each other are overlapping.
Complex structures or designs: Structures and designs that contain repeating patterns or fine details are susceptible to the Moiré effect. Viewing them at a lower resolution or superimposing them with similar or slightly different patterns creates interference fringes that may show up as extremely sharp edges and Moiré effects on your LED screen. For example, when you take a complex geometric design, which contains thin lines or repeating patterns, and shrink it down or overlay it with other similar designs, it will create a moire effect.
Fine strokes or small font text: Fine strokes or small fonts contain fine details and high frequency streaks that are difficult for the screen to accurately reproduce. When you watch such content on a LED screen with a low pixel density, these details may overlap with other similar patterns, resulting in the Moore effect.
High-contrast images: High-contrast images have sharp transitions between light and dark areas. These transitions will produce high frequency patterns that are difficult to reproduce on the screen. For example, when you watch a black and white checkerboard grid of high-contrast images on a very low-resolution LED wall, it is likely to produce the Moore effect, other similar stripes will be constantly superimposed on the checkerboard pattern.
The reflection of external light sources: external light sources, such as overhead lights or direct sunlight, will produce reflections on the LED screen, while interfering with the surface pattern.
Interference from electronic devices: If a nearby electronic device emits electromagnetic waves in a similar pattern, it may interfere with the pixel pattern of the LED screen, producing the Moore effect. Some examples of electronic devices that emit electromagnetic waves include cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices and microwave ovens.
Pixelated images: Various LED walls have a fixed pixel density, which means they can only display a specific number of pixels per inch. Therefore, when LED screens display video or images, the pixels of such content must align with the existing pixels of the screen in order to display a visible image. However, when an LED screen displays media content with varying pixel densities, the pixels of the image may not align with the pixels of the screen, resulting in a moire effect on the LED screen. For example, if you display a low pixel density image on a high pixel density LED screen, the pixels of the image will be scaled up to fit the original pixel density of the LED wall. Similarly, if you display a high pixel density image on a low pixel density LED screen, the pixels of the image will be scaled down, resulting in the Moiré effect.
Viewing distance: When you keep a certain distance from the LED screen, the relative angle and frequency of the pixel pattern will produce interference pattern, which will trigger the Moiré effect on the LED screen. If you are close to or away from the screen, the distorted pattern may change slightly or disappear.
Physical damage to the screen: When light passes through a scratched or cracked screen, it diffracts or scatters in different directions, producing interference patterns that overlap the underlying image. This interference interacts with the pixel pattern of the image to form a Moiré effect on the LED screen.
Displaying content that doesn’t fit your LED screen: Your LED wall consists of light-emitting pixels; the spacing and alignment of these pixels determines the resolution and quality of the display. However, when displaying video or images that are not suitable for your LED screen, the pixel structure of the screen may interact with the content, creating a moire effect.
Color calibration is not correct: LED screen color calibration is the process of adjusting the screen color and brightness to accurately reproduce the image or video color. If you do not calibrate the LED screen correctly, the color on the screen will not match the actual color of the image or video. For example, if your LCD screen display is over-saturated, when displaying certain patterns, such as diagonal or circular patterns, the Moiré effect will become very obvious.
Improper scaling: Scaling is the process of resizing an image or video to fit a specific screen size or display resolution. When a designer or editor does not properly scale an image or video, the pixels of the original content may not align with the pixels on the screen, resulting in the Moore effect.

As mentioned earlier, the Moiré effect is a common phenomenon that can be encountered by any business or individual using LED screens to display content. However, its severity and frequency depends on the purpose of use, individual needs, type of screen, and the content being displayed.

The Moiré Effect on LED Screen Content The Moiré effect is disruptive and can cause serious problems especially when organizing important events. Imagine using an indoor LED screen for a presentation at a conference, and suddenly the images and text become blurry; your team may have to interrupt the meeting due to this disruption, or continue the meeting without the presentation.

What about events that cannot be saved? We will focus on how the Moore effect affects the quality of displayed content, how it affects businesses, and its impact on various events.

How does the Moore effect affect the quality of content displayed on LED screens?

The Moore effect can affect the text, graphics, images or video you display on your LED screen in a number of ways, including the following:

Image Distortion:The Moiré effect can cause images on LED screens to look distorted or blurred, reducing the display and making the viewing experience poor for the viewer.

Contrast Reduction: The Moiré effect may reduce the contrast of what you display on your LED screen. Contrast reduction automatically destroys the structure of the original image, giving it a flat appearance.

Poor Clarity:It may also reduce the clarity of the content you display on your LED screen, making the image appear somewhat blurry, not sharp enough and lacking in detail, thus spoiling the viewing experience for the audience.

Screen Flicker:The Moiré effect can cause the screen to flicker or pulsate in a distracting and unpleasant way. This is especially noticeable when the screen displays high contrast images or moving content such as video.

Text Distortion: During text presentations, the Moiré effect may break up the text, making it difficult or nearly unreadable, attributed to the interaction between the pixels of the LED display and the content.

Jagged Edges: If you display text or images with jagged edges due to the Moir®¶ effect, it can make the content look unprofessional, reduce its quality, and even distract the viewer from the message you’re actually trying to convey.

Moiré Patterns: When the Moiré effect is present, it can produce uneven patterns on the screen that are distracting and confusing to the viewer. These patterns are especially noticeable in areas with regular patterns in the image background.

Ribbon effect: Just because certain colors and patterns look great on your smartphone or PC doesn’t mean they’ll display well on an LED screen. When gradients and smooth color transitions appear blocky, your LED screen may have a moire effect.

Ghosting: Another way to determine if there is a Moiré effect on an LED screen is if the image or text on the screen seems to have trailing or residual shadows, especially in fast-moving areas.

Rainbow Effect: The Moiré effect may produce a variety of uneven patterns on LED screens, including a highly visible rainbow effect, which can degrade the quality of text, graphics, images or video displays.

Motion Artifacts: There’s another way to tell if you have a Moiré effect screen, when the display appears to skip frames or jitter, which can reduce the conveyance and quality of the display.

Pattern Clash:When there is a pattern clash due to the Moiré effect, it can make the content appear cluttered and reduce quality. This occurs when there are multiple patterns or textures on the screen, which may interact with each other and create undesired Moiréor interference patterns.

The impact of the Moore Effect on businesses that rely on LED screens for advertising, events or communications.

Many businesses rely on LED screens for a variety of purposes, including commercial LED displays, conferences, product demonstrations, and more. Since 63% of consumers say that digital signage gets their attention more than traditional static media, this method of advertising is highly favorable to them.

With such a positive impact on consumers, imagine how bad things could be for businesses that regularly experience the Moiré effect on their LED screens. Fortunately, there are preventative measures and solutions for this phenomenon. First, however, let’s take a look at how the Moiré effect affects businesses that rely on LED screens for advertising, events, or communication.

Reduced Visibility:When the Moiré effect occurs, it can make text, graphics, images or video on an LED screen appear broken and difficult to read or understand. This can reduce the visibility of the information you are trying to convey, making it much less effective.

Damage Brand Image: If a business has a frequent Moiré effect on its LED screens, it may develop a negative brand image. For example, if your business is constantly displaying in-store advertising videos that always have the Moiré effect, customers will perceive your business as unprofessional, which will ultimately damage your company’s reputation.

Missed Opportunities:Many businesses display promotions and sales offers on LED screens within their organization. If the Moiré effect makes the content on the screens difficult to understand, customers may miss out on important information or promotions, and the organization will lose the opportunity to generate sales or increase brand awareness.

Distraction: No matter how sensible the information is, anyone can lose interest in a display that skips frames or is unclear. The Moiré effect distracts the viewer from focusing on the content of the display.

Difficulty displaying branded products:When displaying branded products, you want them to look as beautiful as the originals. But what happens when the Moir®¶ effect causes colors to shift or look different? This makes it difficult to accurately showcase your brand, products and services.

EYE STAIN: When the moire effect on an LED screen lasts for a long time, it may cause eye strain for the viewer. The viewer will feel discomfort and eventually ignore the displayed text, images or video.

Negative word of mouth: most people will buy branded products based on recommendations from trusted people. However, customers who are not satisfied with the quality of your LED screen displays will spread negative comments about your business, which will discourage others from working with you.

Higher Maintenance Costs: LED screens that are susceptible to the Moiré effect require more frequent maintenance, which can increase the operating costs of using this technology.

Lower Return on Investment (ROI):If the Moore effect is affecting the effectiveness of a business’s advertising or communication campaigns, over time this will lead to poor customer acquisition and a lower ROI.

Impact of the Moore effect on activities

Every event needs engaging displays to light up the venue and entertain the audience. Companies, brands and organizations of all kinds use LED screens in a variety of environments to display important information and content.

Your event may start out very fun and engaging, but once the LED screen malfunctions and causes an interruption in what is being displayed, these small issues can turn your exciting event into an instant nightmare. Here are some of the negative effects that a Moore Effect LED screen can have on your event.

Distraction: The Moiré effect creates a distracting pattern on the screen, which can draw the audience’s attention away from the main focus of the event. This distracting effect is especially detrimental when you are organizing an event to convey an important message or when you need attendees to focus on a specific element (such as a speaker or presentation).

Produces a sense of disorientation:Not everyone can tolerate strong visual inconsistencies, and no one should have to experience them. the Moiré effect on LED screens can cause a sense of disorientation or motion sickness in some people, making it difficult for them to participate in the activity, or even leave early.

Content Misinterpretation:Misinterpretation is easy with graphics, images and videos that are distorted, blurred and skip frames. The Moiré effect may create new shapes or patterns on the screen that confuse the viewer, giving another meaning to the displayed content.

Poor Interactivity:Disturbances from the Moiré effect on LED screen displays may reduce attendee engagement and interactivity at the event. Instead of concentrating on the presentations, asking questions, or interacting with the event’s LED display content, they may divert their attention to discussing the Moiré effect amongst themselves.

Reduced credibility:It takes years and a certain amount of trust to get people to consistently attend a particular event. They expect a mind-blowing experience, and the Moiré effect on LED screens can diminish the credibility and professionalism of an event, damaging the organizer’s reputation and reducing the likelihood that attendees will return in the future.

Negative Impact on Sponsors:If the Moore Effect is present in a sponsor’s brand presentation, it may harm the sponsor’s return on investment and future sponsorship opportunities. Sponsors will lose interest and will be less likely to continue to support your event.

Negative Reactions on Social Media:In today’s world where social media makes it easy for people to connect and know what’s going on with each other in real time or almost real time, it’s never a good idea to host a disastrous event. This is because there is a 100% chance that your attendees will share a negative experience of the LED screen Moiré effect on social media, damaging the event’s reputation.

Poor User Experience:Providing a smooth and enjoyable experience for your audience is one of the secrets to success in your industry. The disruption caused by the Moore effect runs counter to this recipe for success. It creates a poor user experience for attendees, making it difficult for them to interact with the content on display and even reducing their overall satisfaction with the event.

The Moiré effect on LED screens can create all sorts of negative experiences that discourage attendees from attending future events.

Preventing the Moiré Effect on LED Screens

Now that you understand the Moiré pattern, its causes and its impact on businesses and events that rely on LED screens for advertising. Let’s explore some effective ways to prevent the Moiré effect:

Use of LED screens with higher pixel density:Using screens with higher pixel density makes it more difficult to capture patterns on the screen, thus reducing the likelihood of a moire effect.

Adjusting the refresh rate of your screen: As mentioned earlier, the refresh rate of your LED screen can cause flickering, which in turn produces a blurry or jagged effect on text, images and video. However, if you adjust the refresh rate correctly, you can prevent the Moiré effect from occurring.

Use a matte screen or anti-glare coating: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or strong ambient light is one of the causes of the Moiré effect on LED screens. However, using a matte screen or anti-glare coating can help reduce reflections on the LED wall.

Use high-quality video cables and connectors:The use of high-quality video cables and connectors is necessary in order to prevent interference with the displayed content. They play a vital role in minimizing interference and preventing the moire effect.

Using a Video Signal Processor:When using multiple LED screens, the occurrence of the Moiré effect is almost inevitable. However, you can use a video signal processor to adjust the frequency and timing of the signals to prevent the Moiré effect.

Use a diffuser to soften the light emitted from the screen: If you want to reduce interference and prevent the screen from experiencing the Moiré effect, you can use a diffuser. The diffuser will soften the light emitted from the LED screen.

Avoid Small Fonts or High-Contrast Patterns: Another way to prevent the Moir®¶ effect is to avoid using small fonts or high-contrast patterns. Instead, use mediumsized fonts and patterns with moderate contrast – neither too low nor too high.

Use a high-quality graphics card with a good anti-aliasing filter: Displaying text and images with jagged edges can ruin your presentation. However, a high-quality graphics card with a good anti-aliasing filter will smooth out the edges on the LED screen and prevent the Moire effect from occurring.

While the occurrence of Moiré effect on LED screens is becoming more common, there are a variety of ways we can prevent it, including using high-quality equipment and avoiding patterns and colors that can cause interference.

How to minimize the Moiré effect on LED screens

The Moiré effect is one of the biggest challenges facing companies and individuals using LED screens, and it can disrupt important business meetings, advertising campaigns, and other special events. If you have experienced Moiré patterns on your LED screens or are working to minimize its effects, the following tips will help you:

Adjusting Resolution: Adjusting the resolution of your LED screen can help minimize the occurrence of the Moiré effect, which occurs when Moiré patterns occur due to interference between the pattern of pixels on the screen and the pattern in the text, video, image or graphic you are displaying. When you adjust the resolution of your LED screen, you actually change the spacing of the pixels, which reduces the likelihood of uneven patterns. However, reducing the resolution may also reduce image quality and clarity, so it is advisable to find a balance between reducing the moire effect and maintaining image quality.

Use a diffuser: A diffuser is a material that evenly distributes light. Applying it to an LED screen can reduce the Moiré effect. Placing a diffuser on top of the screen blends the pixel pattern so that it is less noticeable, thus reducing the chance of a Moiré pattern.

Choosing the right pixel pitch: Pixel pitch is the distance (in millimeters) between the center of each pixel on an LED screen and the centers of the other pixels around it. Choosing the right pixel pitch reduces the Moiré effect. Choosing a larger pixel pitch means that there is more space between the pixels, which reduces the chance of a Moiré patterns on the LED wall. However, a larger pitch also means that the resolution of the screen will be lower.

Correct Calibration: Have you ever transferred an image from your PC to your phone only to find that the colors are different from the original image? This means that your PC or LED wall has not been properly calibrated. Calibration involves adjusting the color and brightness levels to ensure that it displays the original colors of whatever image you are displaying. Properly calibrating your screen will reduce these patterns and minimize the moire effect.

Using the anti-aliasing filter: The anti-aliasing filter smoothes jagged edges or skipped frames on text and images by adding extra pixels. It reduces the sharpness of the edges, which reduces the appearance of Moiré patterns s.

Utilize multiple screen panels:Using multiple smaller LED video wall panels instead of one large screen can help reduce the Moiré effect on your display. When you divide the screen into smaller sections, the viewer’s eye will not notice existing or impending Moiré patterns s.

Adjust Refresh Rate:The refresh rate of your LED screen is how often you update your video, text, graphics or images. A higher refresh rate will make the content you display look smoother and reduce the visibility of Moiré patterns s.

Varying the Viewing Distance: The distance between the viewer and the screen affects the visibility of the Moiré patterns . To minimize this pattern, change the viewing distance and try to move closer to the screen or further away from the screen to reduce the visibility of the Moiré patterns .

Using the Noise Reduction Filter:Many videos, images, and graphics contain noise that should not be there in the first place. This noise shows a Moiré patterns , which you can minimize with noise reduction filters. If your LED wall manufacturer has built-in noise reduction filters, you can utilize them to reduce the Moiré effect. These filters work by analyzing the image or video and removing patterns that could cause a Moiré patterns to appear.

If you’re not sure how to do this yourself, make sure you contact your manufacturer to help you make the necessary adjustments. Also, if you are using a rented LED screen, don’t hesitate to quickly contact the renter to inform them of the changes on the display before adjusting the LED screen settings.

How to Fix the Moiré Effect on LED Screens

To fix the Moiré effect on your LED screen, you have the option of working with a manufacturer or professional, or fixing it yourself. If you decide to DIY (do-it-yourself), here is a step-by-step guide to help you fix your screen.

Determining the cause of the moire effect: The first step in fixing the moire effect on your LED screen is to determine its root cause. You can do this by examining the pattern on the screen and checking for unusual color blocks. Moiré patterns can be caused by a variety of reasons. Therefore, make sure to also analyze the type of content you are displaying, the settings of the display device, the screen resolution or aspect ratio, and the electronic devices near the screen.

Adjusting the screen resolution and aspect ratio: If you find that the cause of the Moore effect is the visibility of the pixel grid, you can try adjusting the screen resolution to a lower setting. This will make the pixels larger, thus reducing the visibility of the grid. Make sure you don’t adjust it too low to avoid degradation of the content display quality. Again, each LED screen has a different aspect ratio that differentiates it from other screens. Always use the correct and only manufacturer recommended aspect ratio for your LED wall.

Changing the refresh rate: If the pixel grid is not visible, it is time to check the refresh rate. If the Moiré effect is caused by the interaction between the display frequency and the LED wall refresh rate, try changing the display frequency to a different setting and make adjustments until you find the right setting.

Adjusting Display Settings: Contrast, Saturation, Brightness and other display settings may also trigger the Moiré effect. If the resolution is appropriate and the refresh rate is not too low, the next thing to do is to try adjusting these settings to see if they improve the display quality.

Use different video cables: not all cables made by the manufacturer are identical; the cable that connects your computer to the LED screen may also affect the Moiré effect. Check the following:

Cable Quality: Poor quality video cables may not transmit signals properly, resulting in interference or other visual distortions on the LED screen. Upgrading to better quality cables can eliminate Moiré patterns problems.

Shielding: Shielding is another important factor to consider when choosing video cables. Shielding is the metal layer that surrounds the cable and helps block interference from surrounding electronic devices. If a cable has poor quality shielding, it may be subject to interference from nearby devices, which can lead to the Moiré effect. It is recommended to use cables with high-quality shielding, such as HDMI or DisplayPort.

Cable Length: The length of the cable can also affect its performance. If the cable is too long, it may not be able to transmit signals efficiently, leading to distortion of the display or other problems. In some cases, using shorter cables can help improve the quality of the LED display.

Use anti-glare screens: reflective LED walls may increase the appearance of Moiré patterns.

Try using an anti-glare screen; if an anti-glare screen is not available, place the screen in a location that will minimize reflections. If not, you can minimize the Moiré effect by avoiding lighting that creates reflections or glare on the LED screen.

Use a software solution: After checking the above possible causes of the moire effect, if the problem persists, check for the presence of moire patterns in the image or video. If there are, a software solution can be used to eliminate them.

Replace the screen: probe all possible problems and try to fix them. However, if all the above solutions don’t work, it may be time to replace your LED screen. But before replacing it, contact a professional to help you check it again. All screens are not created equal in terms of components, quality and manufacturers. Investing in a high-quality LED wall is worth it because you’ll have reduced maintenance costs and better quality screens are less prone to the Moiré effect.

Use high-quality content: low-quality images, text, videos and graphics often contain moir®¶ patterns. Make sure you use high-quality images as they usually do not have Moiré patterns.

Ensure proper calibration: Proper calibration makes the content you display more attractive.

Therefore, make sure to accurately calibrate the color and brightness levels of your LED screen.

In addition, changing the viewing distance can reduce the Moiré patterns , but make sure that the viewing distance is appropriate for the screen, otherwise the Moiré effect may become more pronounced.

If you follow these steps, you can fix or minimize the moire effect on your LED screen.

How Does LED Virtual Production Work?

in News /by Rigard

With the advancement of film shooting technology and LED display technology, especially with the popularity of the concept of the metaverse, film shooting technology is undergoing a new revolution. LED virtual production is now one of the most advanced film technologies, gradually replacing practical shooting and green screens

Recently, the highly acclaimed film Barbie, which focuses on a female perspective, has gained global attention thanks to LED virtual production. The special effects production team of Barbie completed the scene of a convertible car driving in Barbie Park using the V Stage virtual production studio located in Leavesden, England, owned by Warner Bros. As one of the largest virtual production studios in Europe, V Stage consists of over 2,600 LED panels and integrates state-of-the-art image and sound processing systems.

Virtual production allows LED display screens to have great potential in film virtual production. So how does LED virtual production work? Let’s first delve into the understanding of virtual production.

What is Virtual Production?

Virtual production refers to the use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) and real-time technology to create and capture visual effects and scenes in a virtual environment. It combines live-action footage with virtual elements, allowing filmmakers to see virtual scenes, characters, and effects in real time and interact with them during the production process.

Virtual production techniques include projecting virtual backgrounds or environments onto physical sets using green screens or LED walls, using motion capture technology to record actors’ movements and apply them to virtual characters, and utilizing real-time rendering engines to generate high-quality visual effects instantly.

Both green screens and LED displays are tools used to create virtual high-resolution videos. The main difference between them is that green screens require post-production work, where various tools are used to remove the green portion and replace it with the desired virtual image, while virtual production LED walls only require the projection of images onto the screen.

Green screen shooting

Green screen shooting used to be one of the most advanced film technologies. In green screen film production, actors and crew members have to imagine what the final shot will look like. It can be challenging to envision the final shot, especially for productions heavily reliant on green screens. This makes set design and lighting more difficult, as the cinematographer must consider the composite effect.

Virtual production LED walls

In comparison to green screens, virtual production LED walls have many advantages and are a popular form of virtual production. Virtual production LED walls, also known as LED video walls or LED display walls, are large arrays of LED panels used for virtual production. They serve as the background or environment for shooting and displaying high-resolution virtual content in real-time. LED walls used in virtual production are typically composed of modular LED panels that can be seamlessly connected to create larger display areas. These panels consist of numerous small LED bulbs that emit light and color, forming the images or videos displayed on the wall.

How Does LED Virtual Production Work?

LED virtual production involves using LED screens or walls as the backdrop for filming, placing actors or objects in front of the LED screen, and projecting dynamic and interactive virtual content to complete the movie shoot.

Instead of using traditional green screens or physical setups, LED panels display high-resolution virtual backgrounds or environments in real time. These LED walls can be programmed to display realistic 3D worlds, often using Unreal Engine. With the use of an engine called “Nanite”, images can be imported into the 3D environment, creating a close-to-reality 3D backdrop. The content displayed on the LED screen is typically generated by real-time rendering engines, allowing filmmakers to see the final composition on set during the filming process.

Advantages of LED Virtual Production

Real-time visualization and enhanced realism

One of the advantages of LED virtual production is that it provides actors with a more immersive and realistic environment as they can see the virtual world they are interacting with in real time. This instant feedback helps actors deliver more authentic performances and allows directors to make on-the-spot adjustments, resulting in a more efficient and collaborative production process.

Cost and time savings

Virtual production LED walls can significantly reduce the need for extensive post-production work, as not only can the shooting scenes be generated entirely in the LED virtual studio, but also the scenes can be switched freely within the studio. The entire shooting process can be done without any outdoor locations, as environments such as deserts, forests, oceans, etc., can all be created within the LED virtual production studio. This greatly enhances shooting efficiency, eliminating the need for extensive post-production work to add visual effects or backgrounds, and reducing post-production time and film production costs.

Improved lighting and reflections

Furthermore, the use of LED screens can provide actors with realistic lighting and reflections, further enhancing the integration of virtual and real elements. The virtual production LED walls emit light that interacts with the actors and objects in the scene. This creates realistic lighting and reflections, enhancing the integration of virtual and real elements. It also reduces the need for extensive lighting setups, as the virtual environment can provide the desired lighting conditions.

Enhanced creativity and flexibility

Virtual production LED walls offer filmmakers greater creative control over virtual environments. They can make instant changes to virtual backgrounds or sets, experiment with different lighting conditions, and visualize complex scenes or visual effects in real time. This flexibility allows for more experimentation and creative exploration during the production process.

Seamless camera tracking

Virtual production LED walls can also integrate with camera tracking systems, allowing virtual content to dynamically respond to the camera’s movements. This enables realistic parallax and perspective changes, enhancing the sense of depth and immersion in the virtual environment.

The Future of LED Virtual Production

In recent years, LED virtual production has become increasingly popular. The large LED screens that surround the entire set provide filmmakers with more control and flexibility to create visually stunning seamless scenes. LED virtual production technology was first used in the production of the TV series The Mandalorian. More than 50% of the first season of The Mandalorian was shot using virtual production LED walls. LED virtual production provided The Mandalorian with impressive visual effects, earning it the Visual Effects Society Award for “Outstanding Model in a Photoreal or Animated Project”.

The Mandalorian revolutionized the traditional filmmaking process by utilizing LED virtual production techniques and taking virtual production to new heights. Although XR virtual production is still in its early stages, the concept of the metaverse has greatly influenced its development, and there is enormous potential for the future of LED virtual production. Not only in the film and television industry, but also in the gaming, visual effects, and large-scale advertising industries, leading companies have started investing in large LED virtual production studios, which will drive the demand for LED displays.

In the long run, LED virtual production is a significant transformation in the film industry with vast prospects, and its future will continue to expand as costs decrease and demand increases.

Perimeter LED Display

The stadium LED screen around the stadium is a perimeter LED display, mostly used to play back game highlights and broadcast commercial advertisements. Considering the powerful impact during the game, the stadium perimeter LED display must be impact resistant, shock resistant and cut resistant.

However, there are many specifications for the stadium LED screens that are employed because of the uniqueness of the location and the environment of the tournament venue. The stadium perimeter LED display must also have a high heat dissipation and high brightness features due to Qatar’s extremely dry climate and high temperatures.

LED Screen in TV & Broadcasting

The coverage of all the thrilling Qatar World Cup activities relies heavily on the TV studio. A massive curved LED screen made out of 23 sets of rectangular LED modules serves as a backdrop adapted to the semi-ring-shaped studio walls. There are other three curved LED screens that can be moved and combined presenting in the TV studio. To increase filming versatility, staff can make the three curved LED screens move along the ground track and seamlessly splice into a complete LED screen wall.

The TV studio LED display screens must have high dynamic range characteristics and strong consistency in terms of brightness and color in order to fully meet the picture display requirements of the TV studio.

What is IMD LED Display and Difference Between IMD and COB Encapsulation?

in News /by Rigard

In recent years, the popularity of 5G network, the upgrade of digital services, the application of conference visualization, the in-depth practice of smart cities and the continuous expansion of the security monitoring market stimulate the development of HD display market segmentation. HD display, which is being upgraded from 4K display to 8K display, is gradually becoming the development vane of the current display technology.

Small pitch display technology is the key to making this market segmentation with great future possibilities. The current LED display industry has broken through technological innovation and can produce LED displays with pixel pitch less than 10mm. Since its introduction, the small pixel pitch LED video wall has become the most popular display solution in the indoor display market with its advantages of high brightness, high resolution, high gray level and high contrast, widely used in conference rooms, lecture halls, government service centers, etc.

As the size of LEDs gets smaller, the ability to pick up and accurately place it becomes increasingly difficult. The challenges of packaging technology contribute to high cost, making small pixel pitch LED video walls still have a long way to go to achieve mass production. The LED display industry has been looking for newer ways to reduce costs and allow for smaller pixel pitches.

Historically, LEDs were diced from epitaxial wafers, placed in surface-mount packages, wire-bonded at the appropriate location, and encapsulated in epoxy or silicon, which is known as SMD technology. The changes in the way LEDs are packaged can be described as a new packaging technology that packages the LED chip, rather than the LED lamp, directly onto the PCB, known as COB.

In the past few years, SMD and COB technologies have been dominating the small pixel pitch display market. We have also always heard opinions about COB winning over the traditional SMD with various technical advantages. However, to this day we find that the most popular solution for small pixel pitch LED displays represented by P0.9 LED displays is neither SMD nor COB, but IMD.

What is IMD LED Display?

IMD (Integrated Matrix Devices) refers to the packaging of two, four, six or more groups of RGB diodes in a small unit, also known as “N-in-1”. Typical IMD models are generated as 2*2 or 4-in-1 packages, where each 4-in-1 package includes four SMDs and each SMD includes three chips (red, green, and blue).

IMD is an intermediate product between SMD and COB, combining the advantages of both. IMD is a new generation of LED packaging technology that meets the current market demand in terms of both appearance and performance.

Differences between IMD and COB/SMD

Higher reliability and protection performance

LED display screens must be transported over long distances to reach the client, and they will inevitably be bumped during the process of installation to put into use. Therefore, the protection of LED display screens is one of the important factors considered by LED display manufacturers and the rental market. As both IMD and COB are using integrated packaging technology, the hermeticity and reliability have made a qualitative leap compared with the traditional SMD, meeting the requirements of customers at this stage.

Smaller pixel pitch

SMD technology has physical limitations that make it the best solution to produce LED displays with a pixel pitch close to 1.2mm. Further reduction in pixel pitch would result in high costs. IMD technology, on the other hand, can achieve mass production of smaller pixel pitch LED displays, such as P0.8, P0.6, P0.4 LED screens, in a short period of time and at a very low cost.

More stable color consistency

IMD inherits the long-accumulated sorting technology of SMD, which makes it have good color consistency in display effect compared with current COB, without the problem of poor appearance and lighting uniformity. Although COB has also improved in color consistency, it is not as stable as IMD, and sometimes there are batches of errors. To reduce this risk, COB usually uses fixed chips for chip bonding. However, this approach does not guarantee that the optoelectronic parameters of all LED components are within a reasonable range after repair, which requires engineers to perform point-by-point calibration. As a result, COBs cost more than IMDs to achieve the same level of color consistency.

Lower maintenance costs

Controlling costs to create more value for downstream customers is essential. When a local area of the LED display screen is damaged, LED screen with IMD technology only need to remove a single damaged point for maintenance, while those with COB technology need to remove the entire LED module for maintenance, which undoubtedly increases maintenance costs.

All in all, IMD offers better crash protection and more possibilities for smaller pixel pitches than conventional SMD. Compared with COB, IMD has higher color consistency and lower maintenance cost, especially when only a single diode needs to be repaired. IMD combines the advantages of traditional SMD and COB to properly solve the problems of damage protection, black level consistency, seamless stitching, light leakage, and maintenance. With higher contrast, higher integration, easier maintenance and lower cost, it is the ideal technology for the evolution to finer pitch.

With the above information, you may notice that IMD technology is superior to COB and SMD technology for small pixel pitch LED displays. If you are looking for small pixel pitch LED displays, Mini LED displays, or even Micro LED displays, you can refer to RIGARD’s narrow pixel pitch series. We have a global reputation for gaining significant market share in many types of small pixel LED displays with our mastery of IMD and COB technologies.

Will Cinema LED Screen Replace Projector into The Theaters?

in News /by Rigard

The majority of current movies are projection-based, i.e., the projector projects the movie content on the curtain or screen. The curtain directly in front of the viewing area, as the internal hardware setting of the cinema, is the most important factor affecting the viewing experience of audiences. In order to provide audiences with high-definition picture quality and a rich viewing experience, the curtain has undergone an upgrade from the initial simple white cloth to an ordinary screen, giant screen, and even dome and ring screen, with a huge change in picture quality, screen size, and form.

However, as the market becomes more demanding in terms of movie experience and picture quality, projectors are gradually showing their downside. Even we have 4K projectors, they are only capable of achieving HD pictures in the center area of the screen but defocus around the edges. In addition, the projector has a low brightness value, which means that only in a completely dark environment can viewers see the movie. What is worse, the low brightness can easily cause discomfort such as dizziness and eye swelling from prolonged viewing. Furthermore, the immersive visual and sound experience is an important measurement factor for movie viewing, but the sound system of the projector is difficult to meet such high requirements, which urges theaters to purchase a separate stereo system. It undoubtedly increases the cost for theaters.

In fact, the inherent flaws of projection technology have never been solved. Even with the support of laser light source technology, it is difficult to meet the audience’s demanding requirements for ever-increasing picture quality, and the pressure of cost has prompted them to seek new breakthroughs.

The Guide To Small Pixel Pitch LED Display

in News /by Rigard

1, Packaging technology:

Above P2 led display screen generally uses SMD 1515, 2020, 3528 of the lamp, LED pin shape using J or L package. Side welding pin, welding area will be reflective, ink color effect is poor, it is necessary to increase the mask to improve contrast. The density further increases, the L or J’s encapsulation cannot satisfy the application demand, must adopt the QFN package method. This process is characterized by no lateral welding pins, no reflective welding area, which makes the color rendering effect very good.

In addition, the whole black integrated design molding, the contrast of the picture increased by 50%, showing the effect of the application of the image contrast to the previous display better.

　　2, Mount Technology:

Small pixel pitch LED display of the RGB device location of the small offset will result in the display of the screen is uneven, it is bound to require a higher precision mounting equipment.

　　3, Welding technology:

Reflow soldering temperature rise too fast will lead to uneven wetting, it is bound to cause the device in the wetting imbalance in the process caused by migration. Too much wind cycle can also cause the displacement of devices. As far as possible to choose more than 12 reflow soldering machine, chain speed, temperature rise, cycle wind as a strict control project, that is, to meet the requirements of welding reliability, but also reduce or avoid the device shift, as far as possible to control the demand range.

Generally, the 2% range of pixel spacing is used as the control value.

4, Printed circuit board technology:

With the development trend of small pixel pitch LED display, the 4-layer, 6-layer Board is adopted, the printed circuit board will adopt micro-hole and buried hole design, printed circuit graphic wire thin, micro-porous narrow spacing, processing in the mechanical way drilling technology has been unable to meet the requirements,

The rapid development of laser drilling technology will meet the micro-hole processing.

　　5, Printing technology:

Too much, too little solder paste volume and printing offset directly affect the small pixel pitch LED display lamp welding quality. The correct PCB pad design needs to communicate with the manufacturers to implement the design, the screen plate opening size and the correct printing parameters are directly related to the amount of solder paste printing. General 2020RGB devices using 0.1-0.12mm thickness of the electric polishing Laser Steel Network, 1010RGB the following devices recommend the use of 1.0-0.8 thickness of the steel net. The thickness, opening size and the amount of tin increased.

Micro-spacing LED welding quality is closely related to solder paste printing, with thickness detection, SPC analysis and other functions of the printing presses will play an important role in reliability.

　　6, Screen assembly:

Assembly of the finished box needs to be assembled into a screen to display the small screen, video. However, the size tolerance and assembly accumulative tolerance of the box itself can not be neglected in the small pixel pitch LED display assembling effect. The recent device pixel spacing between box and box is too large and too small will result in the display of dark lines, bright line. Dark lines, bright line problem is now small pixel pitch LED display can not be ignored, the need to overcome the difficult problem.

Some of the companies through the Paste 3m tape, box micro adjustment nut Adjustment to achieve the best results.

　　7, Cabinet assembly:

The box is formed by splicing different modules, and the smoothness of the box and the gap between the modules are directly related to the overall effect of the box assembly. Aluminum plate processing box, cast aluminum box is the current application of a wide range of box types, flatness can reach 10 wire. The stitching gap between modules is evaluated by the nearest pixel spacing of the two modules, two pixels too close to the light line, two pixels too far can lead to dark lines.

Before assembling, it is necessary to measure and calculate the assembly seam, then use the relative thickness of the metal sheet as the fixture prior to the assembly.

　　8, System Card selection:

Small pixel pitch LED display light and dark line and uniformity, color difference is led device differences, IC current differences, circuit design layout differences, assembly differences, such as the accumulation of complaints, some system card companies through the software correction can reduce light and dark lines and brightness, chroma uneven. Select High-performance System Card, the micro-spacing LED display brightness, chroma correction, so that the display screen to achieve better brightness and chroma uniformity, achieved a better display effect.
