Introduction to Curved LED Billboards
Curved billboards overcome the rigid shape of traditional billboards and inject a new, more flexible and attractive promotional look into the advertising industry. In this article, we will analyze the information about curved billboards from several aspects.
What is a curved billboard?
Curved billboards are billboards that display images with an obvious curved effect, which can be traditional paper printed billboards or the more popular digital billboards.
Usually curved billboards are thin and light, in order to adapt to a variety of environments, a thin and convenient body more convenient for its movement and installation.
Curved billboards are very popular in the market because of their elegant and beautiful shape and clear and vivid picture quality.
Types of Curved Billboards
Traditional Curved Billboards
Ordinary traditional curved billboards are usually supported by a curved frame, and the advertising images are printed out normally on paper sheets, which are mounted onto the frame of the traditional curved billboards, and they become curved billboards according to the shape of the billboards.
Conventional curved billboards only need to design the frame, the picture itself is not special enough and there is no bright spot, but wins in the cost is cheap, affordable, so it is also a common type of billboards for bus stops, school information display boards.
Conventional LED Curved billboard
This type of conventional LED billboard to make the curved effect, usually using LED cabinets and cabinets between the connectors for seamless splicing, and these cabinet connectors can be slightly twisted to make adjustments, so that the cabinet and the cabinet between the slight angle change, so the LED screen can show the curved effect.
Essentially these LED screens do not have a curved effect, but by changing the angle and superimposed, can visually show the display curved sense, it is worth noting that this conventional LED screen can make the curved limited.
Flexible LED Curved billboard
Flexible LED curved billboard is a kind of LED screen that can be greatly bent, its LED module is factory research and development of soft PCB board, this flexible LED module plasticity is very strong, can meet a variety of special shape of the LED screen installation.
Flexible LED curved billboards can be perfectly spliced and installed on the curved structure of buildings or venues, which provides a seamless viewing experience with a unique visually stunning aesthetic.
3D Curved Billboard
Also known as 3D LED curved billboards, 3D curved billboards are usually “L” shaped in order to create a sense of space and three-dimensionality in the image, allowing viewers to see the 3D effect with their eyes alone, without the need for specialized glasses.
In fact, the 3D curved billboard screen is still 2D, but it is through the unique combination of L-shaped and LED screen, coupled with some special processing, the use of perspective and depth so that the screen shows an extremely realistic 3D effect.
Advantages of curved billboards
Visual Quality
Digital curved billboards have now been able to achieve the highest resolution of 8k, it can be assembled at will into the ideal size and resolution, high-definition images, unique shape to bring people a unique point of memory, high-quality visual output is the advantage of the curved billboard.
Wider Field of View
The curved design provides a wider field of vision, which allows viewers to watch the content of the screen from a wider angle. Some curved billboards are made into a 360-degree wrap-around shape, so that viewers will not miss the content of the advertisement no matter from which angle they pass by.
Brightness
The brightness of outdoor LED curved billboards can reach up to 5500 nits, this degree of high brightness allows LED curved billboards even if the environment is extremely high brightness can still see the advertisement content.
Waterproof and Dustproof
Indoor curved billboards have lower requirements for waterproofing and dustproofing, but outdoor environments are harsher and have higher requirements for waterproofing and dustproofing, if waterproofing and dustproofing are not done properly, it is likely that the billboards will not be able to display the content properly, therefore, outdoor LED curved billboards are quite well protected from waterproofing and dustproofing.
Creative design
The curved shape of the billboard allows more creativity and design freedom, you can boldly utilize the curved structure to design more interactive and visually appealing advertising content.
Space Saving
Curved billboards can be adapted to fit better in venues where space is limited. They can often be mounted on rounded or curved walls, taking up a small amount of space but displaying a large area, allowing for a more efficient use of space.
Outdoor Visibility
In the case of outdoor curved billboards, their curved design reduces the reflection of light from the sun and improves the visibility of the screen content.
Integration
Modern building shapes are becoming more and more creative, they always have various curved and encircling shapes, this kind of special shape of the building, if the installation of ordinary billboards may have a certain degree of impact on the building shape, but the curved billboards can be perfectly integrated into the building, to create a seamless fit and integration of the visual effect.
When a building’s exterior wall is not flat enough, utilizing a curved billboard can make it a smoother and more beautiful transition.
Energy Consumption
While traditional curved billboards have no energy consumption, digital curved billboards are usually made with LED screens, which are environmentally friendly and consume less energy based on the energy-efficient and long-lasting nature of LEDs.
Customizable
Arc billboards can not only fit your needs in the shape of the configuration, usually digital LED curved billboards also support the customization of the resolution, we can go through the algorithm to combine out your ideal resolution.
Comparison between ordinary billboard display and curved billboard display
| Ordinary billboard display | LED Curved Billboard Display | |
| Image | 2D flat image | The screen has curved undulation, unique shape, 3D series has a sense of three-dimensionality |
| Viewing Angle | 150 degrees~160 degrees | Up to 360 degrees |
| Technical Requirements | No special requirements | Need to design the content, and modeling more aptly |
Cost of curved billboard
Cost ranking: traditional curved billboards <conventional LED curved billboards <flexible LED curved billboards <3D curved billboards
Traditional curved billboard production is simple, the cost of the required materials is relatively cheap, so its cost is the lowest; conventional LED curved billboard due to the main body of the screen is the display, the cost is higher than the traditional curved billboards; flexible curved billboards than conventional LED curved billboards, manufacturing process, manufacturing costs are more complex, the price will be higher; 3D curved billboards in all the curved billboards, the most complex manufacturing process, the most complex content design, the most complex configuration, the most complicated.
3D curved billboards in all curved billboards, the most complex manufacturing process, the most complex content design, the highest configuration performance, so the cost of 3D curved billboards is the most expensive.
Arc billboard applications
Commercial advertising
Arc billboards are widely used in casinos, hotels, restaurants and shopping centers, its special shape is easy to attract the attention of customers, and can better publicize products and brand-related content.
Tunnel Curved Billboards
