Narrow Pixel Pitch LEDs Showing its Powerful Punch in the Global Videowall Market and is predicted to own 31% of Videowall Value by 2019

Futuresource Consulting has continued its decade long study and released the fifth edition of the global videowall report which explores the adoption rates of technologies in the tiled display market. This report continues to build on its heritage tracking the established technologies of rear projection cube (RPC) and super narrow bezel (SNB) but focuses more keenly on the narrow pixel pitch LED (NPP LED) category which is gaining real traction and moving in to be a serious contender in this space.

From a macro perspective the report found that the videowall market reached 536,000 units in 2014, 19% growth on 2013 (RPC & SNB). This growth was driven by SNB, which grew at 22%. Futuresource Consulting also found that NPP LED stood out, with a rapidly changing competitive landscape and increasing momentum in verticals such as retail, public display and broadcast. Activity in the control room space, an important value niche, has largely been limited to China where State/Government projects have given it a strong foothold.

Videowall and LED screens Buyer’s Guide analysis: Applications call the tune

 Things used to be simpler. Indoors, events producers stacked videowall ‘cubes’ – long boxes with a projector at one end and a screen at the other – to create large displays. Outdoors, they used devices such as Sony Jumbotron or, later, LED displays made up from multiple panels. But that was at least a decade ago. Now, there are many more technical options available for use in the videowall/large screen display market.

Conventional, stackable videowall cubes (mostly with LCD or DLP projects and mirrors to fold the projection path and make them more compact) are still available. Rigs using multiple projectors and mirrors are in common use. Flat screen displays with very narrow bezels can be mounted together to form a large, but very thin, indoor videowall. Indoor LED panels using high resolution displays are becoming increasingly available and affordable, while very large screen LED displays at resolutions ranging from 4mm to 25mm or 35mm are being used everywhere – in shop windows, on transportation systems, in tv studios and at sporting events.
