GreenPix Creates Largest LED Display
Besides creating various entertainment complexes for the upcoming Olympic Games, China will also be presenting the largest LED display in the world. A company called GreenPix has attached a giant LED display to the wall of Xicui entertainment complex and calls its creation the Zero Energy Media Wall.
As you might have guessed from the name, it’s not just the largest in the world, but is also powered by solar energy. Technabob reports how it works.
This huge LED screen displays mesmerizing patterns of light and video to passersby. But the really amazing thing about the enormous wall of light is that it’s completely self-sustaining. That is, the light panels themselves harness the energy of the sun during the day to power a colorful light show at night. GreenPix – Zero Energy Media Wall uses thousands solar photovoltaic capture cells attached to a grid of glass panels, each of which conceals an array of computer-controlled LEDs.
The Zero Energy Media Wall sounds like enough of a reason to visit Beijing, just by itself, but it will literally shine during the 2008 Olympic Games. For those of us that can’t make it to China, however, check out the video below to see how the Zero Energy Media Wall works.
