Jumbotron?


If you've been to any stadium, you've probably seen a large video screen that shows the replays. Sony's Jumbotron is one of the more common ones. In fact, Sony even makes a "portable" model which is transported in modules (each one being about five by seven feet, and weighing a couple hundred pounds). The total screen was five modules high by seven modules wide, or 25 feet by 35 feet once it was assmebled.

During the Na Lei Aloha Foundation's Lantern Floating this past Memorial Day, two High Definition Jumbotrons were assembled to show the event for those in attendance.

Today's photo is of some of the thousands of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that make up each module. No, I wasn't about to count how many LEDs were in each module ... I'm just guessing.

How cool! I'm sure not many people have seen one of these up close. Thanks for giving us such an interesting perspective!
