The LED sphere display is a spherical screen that lights across its entire surface and can be viewed from every direction, which makes it the central spectacle of shopping centres, atria and event spaces. We build it to a bespoke diameter, typically between 100 and 300 cm, at a resolution of P2.5–P4, complete with the support structure and the control system. Content running across the sphere stays free of distortion from every viewpoint, because the modules are designed and manufactured bespoke to match the curvature. It is ideal at the centre of an atrium, at a reception or at the focal point of a retail space, where the spectacle is itself an act of brand building. The 100,000-hour life of the LEDs and the built-in active ventilation guarantee a stable, even appearance over the long term.
LED sphere display
The LED sphere display is made for spaces where the spectacle is the entrance. We build the face of the sphere from small modules manufactured to the specific curve, so that content runs around it without a break. The support structure, the ceiling suspension and the complete control system are all part of the package, and content can be managed remotely, with playlists if required. Every sphere is a bespoke project, so we always carry out a site survey and a consultation before manufacturing, to make sure the size and the brightness fit the space precisely.

Where a sphere display is worth installing
A sphere display really earns its price where viewers walk around the space: in the atrium of a shopping centre, in a hotel lobby, at the reception of a corporate headquarters or at the centre of an exhibition stand. Because it is visible from every direction, a single device covers what would take up to four conventional flat walls. The spherical format is attention-grabbing in itself, and functions as an architectural element even when switched off. We often combine it with a recessed or raised ceiling suspension so that visitors get a clean image from below as well. It is worth discussing content design before manufacturing begins, because animation optimised for a spherical surface follows an entirely different logic from a flat video wall, and the viewing distance works out at between 3 and 15 metres depending on the diameter of the sphere and the height of the space.
Manufacture and technology
We build the skin of the sphere from small curved modules whose pixel pitch we match to the viewing distance: a denser pixel layout for an atrium sphere viewed close up, a sparser one for a larger hall placement, which is the economical answer there. The control electronics sit inside the sphere or in a concealed plant space, and heat is handled by active ventilation. The support structure is sized with a structural design that takes the load-bearing capacity of the location into account, in ceiling-mounted or plinth-mounted form alike. Every sphere is made to a bespoke size and resolution, so the project begins with a site survey and a consultation.
Quality, operation and reliability
Colour consistency between modules is critical on a sphere display, because the slightest deviation is conspicuous on a curved surface; that is why we fit only quality LED chips from the same production batch. The expected life of the LEDs is around 100,000 operating hours, which means more than 20 years of service even at 10–12 hours a day in an atrium, backed by brightness calibration. Content is managed by the operators through a browser-based interface or an app, with training as part of handover, so no separate IT specialist is required. In the event of a fault, the segmented construction of the sphere means only the module concerned has to be replaced, and we supply the part from regional stock.
Typical applications
LED sphere display — frequently asked questions
Is the picture equally sharp from every direction on the sphere?
Yes — the modules are manufactured to the curvature of the sphere, so there is no distortion and no projection shadow, and the content appears evenly across the whole surface.
What sphere size is recommended for an average atrium?
That depends on the height of the space and the viewing distance; we typically recommend a diameter of between 100 and 300 cm, and we give the exact recommendation after a free site survey.
What kind of content works well on a spherical surface?
Animation and logos with circular movement, optimised for the sphere, work best; content made for a flat video wall always has to be redesigned for the curvature.
What is the warranty, and how long does a sphere display last?
The life of the LED modules is around 100,000 operating hours, which means more than 20 years of service, and we give a warranty on that and on the support structure.
Who manages the content after handover?
The operator does it themselves, after training, through a browser-based interface; the system is simple enough that no IT specialist is needed.
What happens if a segment of the sphere fails?
Because of the segmented construction of the sphere, only the module concerned has to be replaced; we supply the part from regional stock, and the swap does not require the whole sphere to be dismantled.
