Direct View LED in the Cinema: Architectural and Engineering Considerations

摘要

From the inception of motion pictures until recently, the cinema image has always been based on projection. Regardless of the technology: film, DLP, D-ILA, GLV, LCOS - all these technologies project an image onto a white screen. The words movies and projection are so inseparable they are almost synonymous. However in Las Vegas in April 2017 Samsung demonstrated a 4k-resolution, 34-foot wide direct-view LED display in a commercial cinema theater. This marked the beginning of a new era of cinema presentation that no longer involves projecting from a device at the rear of an auditorium. This paper presents a detailed technical evaluation of the aspects to be considered in applying direct LED technology in a cinema theater.
