Chapter 1: Why Do We Need E-sport LED Display?
When it comes to e-sports, the public often think of desktop displays for PCs, but it is easy to overlook the relevance of e-sports and LED ultra-high-definition display large screens.
In fact, in 2017, China issued the “Standards for the Construction of E-sports Stadiums” to further regulate the application of LED display large screens in the e-sports industry: divide the e-sports stadiums into A, B, C, D Four levels, and it is clearly stated at the same time that e-sports venues above level C must be equipped with LED displays.
Compared with the traditional live watching games, e-sports spectators must use large screens to watch the games normally. Therefore, large fine pixel pitch LED display have become an indispensable element in the construction of the e-sports arena. This 100-billion-level related industry has brought new development opportunities for LED Display.

Chapter 3: What Are the Main Characteristics of E-sport LED Signage?
1. Larger size and Technological breakthrough
As we all know, the LCD and OLED display technologies widely used in desktop E-sports scenes can not meet the large-scale and high-end commercial market, and the display effect under 8K ultra-high resolution is also unsatisfactory; The micro / small spacing LED display has the characteristics of unlimited splicing, which is not limited by size, but also has more perfect support for 8K.
In addition, the LED has the brightness and contrast of OLED at the same level or even beyond OLED, which can perfectly present the gorgeous visual effect of the game world.
2. High Refresh rate and Low-delay
Even for high-end LCD displays, the screen response time will be delayed by 3-5 milliseconds, and there will still be tailing and ghosting when playing pictures with intense motion, which greatly affects the audience’s immersive perception. The LED has ultra-fast response speed.
The response speed of its display screen is at the nanosecond level. The conventional refresh rate is 1920hz, and some can reach the ultra-high refresh rate of 3840hz, which greatly improves the viewing experience of the audience.
With the continuous reduction of the dot spacing of LED display screen, its excellent image quality performance can be comparable to LCD display screen; Combined with the application of 4K / 8K ultra-high definition display technology, the application advantages of LED display in E-sports venues will be difficult to shake in the future.
According to the needs of live watching of e-sports, the nanosecond response speed, refresh rate up to 3840hz, 5g transmission bandwidth and 8K resolution completely eliminate the tailing and ghosting phenomenon of traditional screen and projection. At the same time, it also has the highest ultra-high contrast.
It is a rare display screen for high-end E-sports.
