Fremont Street LED Canopy
Las Vegas
BEST PROJECT

所有者/领先设计公司:手表火标志
General Contractor:TRE制造商

A $30-million upgrade of a sloping canopy that envelopes downtown Fremont Street enhanced what is touted as the world’s largest continuous LED screen. The project boosted the brightness of the previous display sevenfold, increased resolution fourfold, achieved transparency for pass-through sunlight, eliminated glare and reflections from surrounding casinos, displayed high-definition video and facilitated daytime operations of the canopy for the first time since it was erected.

The display is populated with a new-to-market LED product that contains more than 49 million units in 63,642 modules covering a 133,000-sq-ft area. Viewers under the canopy are no farther than 90 ft from the display, which showcases high-definition content accompanied by music.

承包商的手表大火的标志具有看似矛盾的目标,即允许日光穿过树冠到街上,而不允许光线影响屏幕内容。工程团队以满足透明度规格的产品的同时提高亮度和对比度的响应。由于人群直接直接在头顶上时看不到冠层,而是观看显示90英尺高的屏幕的长度,因此团队可以利用视角并制作出显示面板中孔的光线几乎无法察觉。

To prevent interference from street lighting, the new screen is fabricated from a matte black material, rather than the off-white material used by the original, creating a texture that prevents glare and minimizes reflections. All 1,043 subsections of the display were designed and built to specifications to fit around multiple structural areas. Installation took place without a single subsection requiring replacement. Each of the eight sections of the display were turned on and were operational within a few days of installation. The canopy screen project was awarded in July 2018, with its unveiling scheduled for New Year’s Eve 2019. The project was completed in November 2019.
