SiliconCore Technology unveiled a 1.9mm XR LED Display for broadcast and virtual production at NAB. This fine pixel pitch display features proprietary technologies from SiliconCore to ensure superior performance, including frame rates of 240Hz and increased durability. The display can also be used as a studio floor to create the highest-resolution immersive production spaces possible. The 1.9mm XR LED Display will be an immersive setup, with a 16.4’ x 8.2’ wall and adjoining floor. With immersive content created by Vū, a virtual production powerhouse, viewers are able to experience multiple XR scenes and backdrops, including CG and real imagery. The experience includes a highly evocative soundscape.
SiliconCore’s patented Common Cathode driver chip technologies include fast clock speeds to enable frame rates of 240Hz and refresh rate of 7689Hz with colour gamut of DCI-P3 ≥ 95% and BT.2020 ≥ 85%, delivering uniform colour, defined images, with less motion blur, for excellent camera viewing. These displays are ideal for slow-motion cinematography and building active 3D environments. In addition, the high brightness at 2000 nits and low greyscale performance produces a high dynamic range that takes full advantage of scenes requiring both bright and dark imagery simultaneously.
As the only LED manufacturer designing its own driver chips, SiliconCore is uniquely positioned to maximize the efficiency and performance of each pixel. The high brightness, high contrast, 180-degree viewing angle, coupled with cool operating temperatures, lead to a longer lifespan for optimal ROI in production environments where operating cost is crucial. SiliconCore’s patented Common Cathode driver technology provides a power reduction of 20-40%, leading to significantly reduced operating costs. With advance- ments in floor resolutions, SiliconCore’s proprietary LISA technology ensures durability that doesn’t require a separate overlay. The encapsulation occurs directly on the PCB, increasing strength while maintaining the LEDs' beneficial characteristics and modular serviceability. The low-reflective, water-resistant surface can handle loads of up to 2000 kilograms per square meter.
Eric Li, CEO of SiliconCore Technology commented: “Our unique, patented technologies mean that we are the only LED manufacturer delivering a 240hz frame rate for XR studios excited to open the community to new creative possibilities. As the video production market advances, our goal is to provide the highest resolution and performance solutions for XR environments.”
