Why Choose LED Displays for Large Movie Screens?
《The Wizard of Oz》
《The Wizard of Oz》 tells the story of Dorothy's fantastical adventures in the Land of Oz. Due to its immense popularity and widespread appeal, after being restored using AI technology and re-produced theatrically by Sphere,《The Wizard of Oz》 is now shown on a screen equivalent to two standard football fields. With the added effects of seat vibrations and wind, the film becomes an immersive experience, as if the audience has been transported from the real world into a fairy tale. Ticketing websites show that Sphere has scheduled the film until the end of the year, and sales are booming. Since its release last August, as of March 2026, it has sold over 2.2 million tickets, generating nearly $300 million in revenue
《Postcards from Earth》
Utilizing Sphere's 18K circular giant screen, 16K resolution, and immersive sound system, the film tells its story from the perspective of "future humans looking back at Earth." Viewers are seemingly enveloped in the visuals, experiencing a virtual "flight" through various scenes, including the Grand Canyon, the ocean floor, the polar regions, and cities. The film extensively employs aerial photography, macro, and time-lapse photography to showcase Earth's magnificence and fragility. The title, "Postcard," metaphorically represents humanity's "last image" sent to Earth, carrying a certain science fiction allegory.
U2 Band Performance Band
The live sound system consisted of 167,000 speakers, evenly distributed behind the screen. When U2's lead singer, Bono, walked onto the stage to sing, those sitting in the audience felt as if he were performing right next to them. Regardless of the audio stream, you could hear your own local translation, without needing any tools to position yourself in a fixed location.
