The LED video wall market in China has recovered slower than expected in 2023 following the country’s reopening. Compared to the low point in 2022, however, the end-market demand shows an upward trend overall, particularly the demand in the Corporation & Education, Broadcast, and Retail & Exhibition sectors. North America is booming, with demand in the outdoor display, retail & exhibition, and virtual production sectors being major contributors for the growth momentum. Hit by the Russia–Ukraine war and soaring inflation, demand in Europe is returning slowly. Following the rapid growth in 2022, emerging markets across Asia, Africa, and Latin America continue to see strong demand entering 2023. Overall, TrendForce forecast that the global LED video wall market value will increase to USD 7.564 billion in 2023. Indoor Display: Demand for high-resolution and HDR products has contributed to stable sales growth in LED video walls for corporation and education spaces, virtual productions, home theaters, and cinemas. In addition, Micro LED transparent displays are highly suitable for retail stores and cultural spaces (e.g. galleries, museums, aquariums) as well as the hospitality industry as a tool for product exhibition. Outdoor displays are mainly used for advertising, transportation, sports venue events, and live events. Driven by the turnaround of market demand situation in Europe and the US, LED outdoor display applications like Live Events & Sports and Education still enjoys steady growth in 2023. Additionally, glasses-free 3D LED displays will mostly be applied to creative signage advertising. 3D advertising videos can create stunning visual experiences for audience. Global LED Fine Pitch Display Market Scale As TrendForce analyzes, the demand for LED video walls in China has gradually recovered in 2023, along with continual increases in the penetration of LED fine pitch displays across North America, Europe, and Asia. Additionally, the Corporation & Education, Virtual Production, and Retail sectors has continued stimulating the demand for such displays. As more players entered the LED fine pitch display market, plus competition between display techniques, product prices have declined faster than expected. TrendForce estimated an increase in the global LED fine pitch display market value for 2023 to USD 4.506 billion. Virtual Production Market Trend The global LED video wall market value for virtual production is likely growing to USD 394 million in 2023, according to a TrendForce analysis. However, their growth momentum will weaken year by year for two reasons. First, the world is returning to normal from the COVID-19 pandemic, reducing the necessity of virtual production LED displays. Another reason is that the cost of LED video walls for virtual production remains relatively high, while the associated industry chain elements such as hardware, software, and content creation must develop simultaneously. An improvement of merely LED display specifications can hardly stimulate rapid industrial growth. In the long term, as more firms enter the virtual production LED video wall market with the increasing maturity of peripheral supply chain, virtual production will be further expanded to the production of movies, TV programs, TV series, music, and advertisements. General background displays mostly come with a pixel pitch of >P2.1 for cost concerns, such as P2.3, P2.6, and P2.8. By contrast, high-end production studios tend to adopt P1.2-P1.6 Mini LED displays to fulfil requirements of high brightness, high-performance display, and close-ups. P2-P4 are used for floor display, in order to create strong immersive experiences, Mini LED video walls are requested. The pixel pitch specs of ceiling displays are P3.9-P6, emphasizing high brightness. Adopting Mini LED video walls with common-cathode driver ICs helps enhance brightness (+30-40%) and display performance (wide viewing angle, high contrast without moiré patterns); the energy efficiency can be up to 50%-60%. All-in-One LED Display Market Trend All-in-One (AIO) LED displays are controller-integrated standardized products, mainly applied to corporate meeting rooms, event, retail and exhibition, lecture halls, control rooms, gaming events, and even home theaters. According to TrendForce’s analysis, All-in-One LED display is expected to maintain growth in large-scale companies’ meeting room and retail display markets in 2023, with a 14% increase in shipment. ≤P1.0 Ultra-Fine Pitch Display Market Trend According to TrendForce, the ≤P1.0 ultra-fine pitch display market scale is estimated to reach 10% YoY in 2023 and main applications include Security & Control Room, Corporation & Education, Entertainment & Cinema. ≤P0.625 and P0.7-P0.8 LED video walls are projected to hold a penetration rate of up to 37% totally in 2023. Micro/Mini LED Video Wall Market Samsung, MTC, BOE, Unilumin, and Hongli have been planning to expand production, with the total capacity likely to reach 30,200 m2/M by the end of 2023. As Micro/Mini LED technology steps forward year by year, it’s forecast that the Micro LED video wall market scale will reach USD 406 million, and that of ≤P0.625 and P0.7-P0.8 Micro LED video wall will amount to USD 349 million in 2027; the Mini LED video wall market scale is expected to reach USD 1.847 billion, and Mini LED is anticipated to enter P1.2 and ≥P1.5-P1.6 LED video wall markets in 2027. Regarding AM solutions applied to large splicing displays, LTPS (side wiring) have been adopted in ≤P0.625 LED displays. A challenge facing the side wiring technology is that width between interconnected metals becomes increasingly narrower, resulting in greater electrical impedance plus obvious IR drop. Therefore, circuit design must be improved. Moreover, tiling line processing, tiled surface flatness, color uniformity, and cost control have been the major challenges on product development. Samsung’s 89-inch Micro LED TV was launched in May 2023 and was available first in China. It is expected that the 101-inch 4K P0.51 model will also be available in 2H23. TrendForce’s analysis focuses on 2024 LED video wall market outlook and application market trends; major LED video wall players’ revenue and product development; LED video wall price and cost analysis; suppliers’ technology and product specification cost development of the Micro/Mini LED / ≤P1.0 ultra-fine pitch display markets, etc. TrendForce aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of marketing and sales in the LED video wall market.  

As ISE 2024 closes its curtains in Barcelona, the event left behind a legacy of innovation and industry milestones. This year, which also marked ISE’s 20th anniversary, saw Europe’s largest display exhibition continue to serve as a vital platform for companies like Samsung Electronics to present their latest innovations in commercial display technology.

New research suggests that workplace digital signage is having a significant impact on increasing productivity and improving engagement amongst workers. A study conducted jointly by ScreenCloud and Google ChromeOS finds 61% of deskless workers believe the information displayed on workplace screens enhances their engagement with larger business operations. Furthermore, 59% believe it bolsters their productivity and 62% see a significant boost to their data literacy. The research, entitled 'The State of Digital Signage: 2023-2024', offers insights into the technology equity gap between information and deskless workers and the effects of this discrepancy on productivity and engagement. The survey collated inputs from 2,400 respondents, including frontline employees and decision-makers across various predominantly deskless sectors like manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and transportation. The study revealed that 78% of frontline or deskless workers feel office workers have more opportunities due to their more significant access to digital information sources and workplace communication platforms. This observation aligns with earlier research indicating that only 1% of software venture funding is directed towards empowering deskless workers. However, the recent report identified workplace screens as a communication medium that inspires approval from 79% of workers. Discussing the findings, Mark McDermott, CEO of ScreenCloud, said: "Deskless workers make up around 80% of the global workforce, so when we consider that these individuals do not feel that they receive the communication and opportunities afforded to their information worker counterparts, it's no wonder that organisations are struggling with a disengaged workforce and therefore decreased productivity." McDermott added that almost 78% of deskless workers don't have access to a company email address and 72% cannot access company intranets. He explained that in attempting to use channels that suit information workers to engage with frontline workers, organisations neglect the existing tech equity gap. McDermott firmly believes that frontline employees deserve a better tech experience, and to that end, digital signage can make a significant contribution. McDermott went on to say that while workplace screens by themselves aren't the complete solution to improve productivity or increase engagement, they are uniquely situated to influence these areas as part of an omni-channel communications approach. He emphasised that digital signage, combined with behavioural science insights regarding message length, placement, and screen location, creates robust outcomes, especially for the deskless workforce. The study corroborates McDermott's assumptions. It revealed an overwhelming number of decision-makers (86%) acknowledge the positive influence of screens on productivity, accessibility, health and safety compliance, job satisfaction, and employee morale (85%). Nearly half of the respondents (43%) reported a significant increase in employee motivation and performance resulting from the adoption of workplace screens. Filipe Ho, Global Strategic Partnerships Lead at Google, commenting on the study findings, said: "This research underscores the immense potential of digital signage to bridge communication gaps, improve productivity, and enhance the overall well-being of deskless workers." Ho added that in today's world, ensuring every worker has the right information at the right time is not just an option, but an imperative. He concluded, suggesting that organisations aiming for enhanced connectivity with their employees and maximum workforce potential should focus on communication channels' importance and the design, format, and sharing of information.

For French audio specialist L-Acoustics, there is only one thing better than giving people the opportunity to experience the best in installation audio in person; and that’s giving them three opportunities to experience it. With specialities encompassing live and broadcast production as well as fixed installations across a diverse range of venues, the French manufacturer also gives people the ability to take the concert sound home with them. Its range of concert-grade sound systems for the home meets the same industry reference standards as its professional range, while the adoption of rugged and marine-grade materials means they are also the perfect choice for yacht and superyacht installations. That’s why, as well as announcing the expansion of its integration ecosystem at ISE 2024 in Barcelona, L-Acoustics is giving visitors three times as many chances to experience what makes it one of the world’s leading audio brands. With stands in Hall 2, Hall 7 and Hall 8, L-Acoustics is dedicating three distinct spaces to tell three different stories through sound. Taking place Jan. 30 ─ Feb. 2, ISE is the world’s leading audiovisual and systems integration exhibition. Last year’s event saw more than 58,000 visitors through the turnstiles, and in 2024 the organisers are expecting the show to be bigger than ever. L-Acoustics is following suit. Its stand in Hall 2 (#2G500) is dedicated to its home and yacht product lines and boasts a dedicated Listening Lounge which pushes the boundaries of spatial audio in the home with a dedicated 7.1.4 system. Powered by the LA7.16i amplified controller, the system features the X8 coaxial driver loudspeakers for left/centre/right, with surround and height channels using L-Acoustics’ X4i coaxial point source speakers, and low-frequency extension provided by L-Acoustics Syva Sub. Meanwhile, its stand in Hall 7 (#7F150) is tailored to meet the needs of L-Acoustics’ professional customers and features the LC16D network converter and the new L Series with LA7.16i multi-channel amplified controller for install.   Finally, L-Acoustics’ dedicated audio demo room (B4) in Hall 8 is a destination point for a range of integration solutions that can enable traditional stereo projects through to immersive and beyond. The demo space gives the company many opportunities to highlight a variety of install-specific products including Soka, LA7.16i, L-ISA, Milan AVB and more. L-Acoustics staff will be on hand to discuss project requirements, third-party interoperability, and to give an insight into the company’s expanding ecosystem for the integration market. While we are on the subject of expansion, L-Acoustics is expanding its X Series range of coaxial speakers at ISE with the launch of the Xi series. Designed to meet the demands of any integration project that requires powerful, quality sound in a discrete format, the new X8i and X6i point source passive loudspeakers will take centre stage at all three locations: Hall 2, Hall 7, and Hall 8. The Xi Series’ compact design delivers a constant tonal balance over distance with smooth coverage for off-axis audiences. It eliminates the need for a minimum listening distance, and it provides high feedback rejection. The X8i and X6i both boast a 1.5in neodymium compression driver coaxially loaded by a 6in or 8in low-frequency transducer in a bass reflex cabinet, and the 90° axisymmetric directivity imparts a smooth tonal response which is free of secondary lobes over the entire frequency range.

  The huge tech trade show known as CES 2024 is officially happening in Las Vegas – and during its First Look event, Samsung has teased the world's first-ever transparent micro-LED display.   Not content with divulging key brightness and screen tech specs for its QD-OLED S95D and a new soundbar range including the Music Frame (a subwoofer that can sit around the artwork on your walls), the South Korean electronics giant has revealed not one, not two, but three different transparent micro-LED displays, all with slightly different designs. As first reported by Engadget, two of the units unveiled featured a tinted glass panel, thus making the frameless screen easier to detect (while obscuring potential objects of distraction behind it), while a third appears to be as transparent as regular glass, and also boasts a design devoid of any physical frame. Sponsored Links       If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute and see why everyone is addicted.Combat Siege           Note the information board clearly visible behind the transparent Micro LED screen (Image credit: Future, Lance Ulanoff ) All of the demo units at the CES reveal were freestanding – and the screen's width, at only a centimeter or so, surely adds to the illusion of a floating screen. Also, thanks to micro-LED's much-touted high pixel density, images seemed "incredibly sharp".     So far, Samsung has uploaded just one video of the transparent micro-LEDs it unveiled, but our very own Lance Ulanoff was also at the reveal – and he sent additional footage below.   TechRadar's US Editor in Chief also says it was impressive in person, "though gets a bit grainy and yellow-ish up close." The tech blog Endgadget stated: "In person, the effect Samsung's transparent micro OLED displays have is hard to describe, as content almost looks like a hologram as it floats in mid-air." Heady stuff. Samsung also says that these see-through micro-LED displays are less impacted by ambient light, because they have higher brightness compared to transparent OLED panels (take that, LG and the reported big push to transparent OLEDs). Pricing? Well, we've seen nothing official yet, but considering that Samsung's inaugural 89-inch micro-LED costs the same price as a small house (and it isn't even transparent), we'd wager we're in for a long wait before the tech becomes anywhere near affordable enough for most of us to own one.
