1. A brief introduction to bendable LED display screens
Bendable LED display screens are a cool new display technology. Its biggest feature is that the screen can be bent or even folded, unlike traditional display screens that can only be flat.
Its core lies in the use of very soft material as the “base” of the screen, such as some special plastics. This material is not as hard as glass and can be bent at will.
Then, many small LED lamp beads are installed. These lamp beads are ensured to light up normally when the screen is bent through special packaging technology, and the connection will not be broken due to bending.
By lighting these lamp beads and controlling the circuit, various patterns and texts can be displayed.
Technology, although it is still relatively expensive now, may be seen in many places in the future.
2. Advantages and disadvantages of bendable LED display screens
1). Advantages
The biggest advantage of this screen is that it can be bent and folded. For example, you can stick it on a cylinder or roll it up and put it in your bag without worrying about it breaking.
Imagine if the phone screen could be bent into a bracelet; it would be more convenient to go out.
It is very thin and light. For example, a smartwatch, after using this screen, is like not wearing it on your hand, and it will not feel heavy at all. Moreover, the thin screen looks more fashionable.
Because the screen is soft, it is not as brittle as a glass screen.
If it accidentally falls to the ground, it can bend and disperse the impact force, and it will not break so easily.
Therefore, the device with this screen is more durable and safer to use.
Its colors are very bright, and the contrast is high. It will not deform when viewed from the side, and it looks very comfortable.
For example, when watching videos outdoors, you can see them clearly in the sun.
Because it can be bent, it can be designed into various shapes.
For example, it can be made into a wavy light strip or a spiral decoration, which is particularly suitable for creative display and can instantly enhance the style.
2). Disadvantages
This type of screen is still very expensive now because it is very complicated to make.
For example, to make the screen bendable, special materials and technology must be used, and the cost goes up.
Therefore, the price of products using this screen is not cheap.
Because it has a complex structure and is soft, it is difficult to repair once it is broken.
For example, if a certain part in the middle of the screen is broken, you may have to find a professional repairman and use special equipment, and you can’t fix it yourself.
In general, the bendable LED display is like a very promising “new star”, with obvious advantages but also many disadvantages.
However, as technology gets better and better, it may become cheaper and easier to use in the future!
3. What are the application scenarios of bendable LED displays?
1). Commercial display field
In commercial display, bendable LED display screens are an eye-catching tool. On the pillars of the mall atrium, the bendable screen can fit the cylindrical shape and play dynamic advertisements to make customers shine.
When displayed in the window, the screen can be bent according to the shape of the goods, showing 360° product details and enhancing the shopping experience.
Large billboards are also more creative because of bendable screens.
For example, a curved LED screen is installed on the facade of the building to show a shocking visual effect and attract passers-by to stop.
2). Architecture and decoration field
Architecture and decoration fields are also inseparable from bendable LED display screens.
In terms of building curtain walls, bendable screens can fit the curved surface of the building.
For example, some modern buildings in Shanghai have bendable screens on the facade to display dynamic artworks, making the building “alive”.
In interior decoration, bendable screens can be installed on ceilings or irregular walls.
For example, in the lobby of a high-end hotel, the bendable screen on the ceiling creates a starry sky effect and enhances the luxury of the space.
3). Cultural, sports and entertainment field
Cultural, sports, and entertainment venues also widely use bendable LED display screens.
On the stage, the bendable screen can be used as a background to change the curvature in real-time according to the performance content.
For example, in a concert, the screen can be bent into a wave shape to enhance the visual effect.
In sports stadiums, the bendable screens around the audience seats can display event information and create a warm atmosphere.
For example, in NBA stadiums, bendable screens can display scores and highlights in real-time to make the audience more engaged.
4). Creative display field
Creative display is a natural stage for bendable LED screens. In art installations, bendable screens can be bent into various peculiar shapes, such as ribbons and waves, to display dynamic works of art.
Museums and exhibition halls have also benefited greatly. bendable screens can fit special-shaped walls to display immersive exhibition content.
For example, in some exhibitions at the Palace Museum, bendable screens display the dynamic restoration process of cultural relics, allowing the audience to feel history more intuitively.
4. Market status and development trend of bendable LED screens
1). Market Status
Now, the market for bendable LED screens is slowly growing. Imagine that in 2024, the global market value of curved LED displays will be about $1.236 billion. Doesn’t that sound impressive?
Moreover, it is expected that by 2031, this figure will rise to $1.594 billion, an annual growth of about 3.7%. Why will it grow?
Mainly because this type of screen can be used in many places, such as advertising screens in shopping malls, stage backgrounds, and architectural decorations, and is particularly popular.
2). Future development trends
Looking at the future, the development prospects of bendable LED screens are really exciting.
First of all, the technology will become more and more powerful, and the bending radius of the screen will become smaller and smaller, which means that the screen can be bent more and even rolled up.
Moreover, as production technology becomes more and more mature, the cost will also come down, and the products using this screen will be cheaper, and more people will be able to afford it.
The display effect will also get better and better. Now, the resolution and color performance of the screen are already very good, but it will be even better in the future.
For example, quantum dot technology can make the screen color more vivid and brighter.
Micro LED technology can make the screen brighter, more energy-efficient, and longer-lasting.
Mini LED backlight technology can also improve screen display. When these new technologies are combined with bendable screens, the effect is simply amazing!
5. Conclusion
As a bright new star in the field of display technology, bendable LED screens are gradually penetrating all aspects of our lives with their unique advantages and unlimited potential.
From consumer electronics to architectural decoration, from commercial displays to cultural and sports entertainment, it is starting a visual revolution.
