chas partnered with Timewaying to develop the 3D LED cinema screen HeyLED have been deployed in theaters in China’s big cities, and officially installed at the Krikorian Theatre in Los Angeles, CA in January 2023. The HeyLED cinema screen creates an unbelievable 3D immersive experience in high-end theaters using cutting-edge technology, bringing audiences sharp, realistic, and fantastic image effects. Macroblock believes that LED cinema screens will continually contribute to the revolution of cinema and lead the moviegoing experience to the next level.
Timewaying’s latest HeyLED cinema screen officially opened in Krikorian Theatre 6 in Los Angeles this January. This LED cinema screen is 10 meters wide and 5.5 meters high with Hollywood DCI certification. Moreover, the HeyLED cinema screen adopts Macroblock’s LED display driver IC to achieve cinema screen requirements such as high contrast, high brightness, and high HDR, allowing the audience to enjoy brilliant 3D cinematic viewing.
Macroblock driver IC equipped with the HeyLED 3D cinema screen has excellent output current accuracy to ensure brightness uniformity. Furthermore, it realizes 16-bit grayscale and 4KHz refresh rate at or beyond the 32-scan design, so that the low-grayscale performance is excellent, and the color gradient is smooth. Therefore, the images are more delicate and vivid, enhancing the visual quality of the moviegoing experience.
Compared to traditional cinemas which use DLP projectors that rely on reflective imaging and cannot present true colors, LED cinema screens feature self – luminous that can reach high contrast, high brightness, wide color gamut and high refresh rate, providing the audience with delicate pictures and vivid colors. In addition, LED cinema screens have a wide viewing angle and full theater space. Based on the principle of optical illusion, it could create an effect of no screen and no medium, thereby achieving 3D performance.
Macroblock believes that as a next-generation exhibition technology, the 3D LED cinema screen technology will continue to drive visual innovation in the theater industry and create a new standard for future film production. Macroblock and Timewaying will constantly invest in the LED cinema screen field and anticipate that more cinemas will adopt 3D LED screens in the future, offering the audience a more immersive, enjoyable, and unique viewing experience.
