Introduction
In today’s world, where digitalization and visualization are highly integrated, LED display screens, as an important carrier of information transmission and visual display, are undergoing technological innovations with each passing day.
With the continuous improvement of market requirements for display effects, LED curved screens have gradually become the darling of commercial displays, performing arts activities, sports events, and other fields with their unique morphological advantages and immersive visual experience.
However, traditional multi-screen splicing technology is often accompanied by obvious gaps, which not only affects the integrity of the picture but also reduces the audience’s visual enjoyment. Therefore, the seamless splicing technology of LED curved screens came into being. It aims to eliminate the physical and visual boundaries between screens through technological innovation and achieve a smoother and more coherent display effect.
1. Overview of seamless splicing technology of LED curved screens
The seamless splicing technology of LED curved screens refers to the use of advanced splicing technology to combine multiple LED display units with extremely small gaps or almost no gaps to form a continuous and smooth curved display screen.
This technology requires not only a close physical fit but also a high degree of coordination and unity in image processing, color correction, brightness adjustment, etc., to achieve a seamless visual effect.
Its significance lies in that it can significantly improve the coherence and immersion of the display effect, reduce the visual fragmentation caused by the gap between the screens, and bring a smoother and more natural visual experience to the audience.

Hardware seamless splicing technology realizes multi-screen splicing by introducing additional hardware devices. These hardware devices may include dedicated control chips, topological structures, connectors, etc. In the hardware seamless splicing system, each LED display is connected to the control chip through a specific connection method to form an overall display system.
The control chip is responsible for receiving and processing video signals from the outside and then distributing the processed signals to each display for display.
At the same time, hardware seamless splicing technology also uses specific topological structures and connectors to ensure signal transmission and synchronous display between each display, thereby achieving a seamless splicing effect.

Relatively low flexibility: The configuration and adjustment of hardware seamless splicing technology is relatively complex, and it is difficult to make large-scale changes or upgrades once the installation is completed.
3. Analysis of key technologies
1). Side routing technology
- Principle and implementation:
Side routing technology is an innovative LED display screen border design technology. It greatly reduces the width of the border by routing circuits on the side of the display screen instead of the traditional front and back panels.
The implementation of this technology relies on high-precision routing technology and advanced packaging technology. During the manufacturing process, the precision circuits are precisely arranged on the side of the LED module, and special packaging materials and technologies are used to protect these circuits from the external environment.
In this way, the side routing technology not only reduces the visual interference of the border but also enables multiple LED screens to achieve a closer fit when splicing, approaching a seamless splicing effect.
- Challenges and breakthroughs:
Although the side routing technology brings significant advantages, it also faces many challenges in practical applications. Anti-collision is the primary problem because the side wiring is relatively fragile and easily damaged by external forces.
In order to overcome this problem, the project team adopted strategies such as strengthening the frame structure and using highly wear-resistant materials to improve the durability of the display. In addition, waterproof oxygen is also an important challenge because moisture and oxygen may invade the interior of the display through tiny gaps, affecting the stability and life of the circuit.
The project team effectively solved this problem by optimizing the packaging process and adopting innovative technologies such as waterproof and breathable membranes.
2). Light modulation technology
- Principle and application:
Light modulation technology adjusts the light emitted by Micro-LED by preparing an optical modulation layer. In the LED curved screen seamless splicing system, the direction, intensity, and color characteristics of the light emitted by each Micro-LED can be precisely controlled after passing through the optical modulation layer.
This technology ensures that the light emitted by different LED modules can maintain a high degree of consistency at the splicing point, thereby solving the split screen problem and color difference. Through the application of light modulation technology, the entire spliced screen presents a more coherent and smooth effect visually.
- Effects and advantages:
The introduction of light modulation technology significantly improves the display effect of seamless splicing of LED curved screens. It can not only reduce the brightness difference under a wide viewing angle so that the audience can get a uniform visual experience at different positions.
It can also solve the color inconsistency problem caused by splicing, ensuring the best color reproduction of the entire screen. In addition, light modulation technology also helps to improve the contrast and clarity of the picture, further improving the overall display effect.
3). Pixel correction and color adjustment
- Methods and processes:
Pixel correction and color adjustment are important steps to ensure the best seamless splicing effect of LED curved screens. After the splicing is completed, professional equipment and software are required to conduct a comprehensive inspection and calibration of the screen.
First, the pixel correction algorithm is used to align the pixels of the spliced screen to ensure that the pixels of each module can be accurately matched. Then, the color of the screen is corrected and optimized using the color adjustment algorithm to reduce color difference and brightness differences.
This process requires repeated iterations and adjustments until the expected display effect is achieved.
- Quality control:
In order to ensure the best seamless splicing effect, the project team needs to implement strict product quality control and comprehensive inspection processes.
This includes strict quality inspection of each LED module, comprehensive performance testing of the spliced screen, and regular maintenance and upkeep of the system.
Through the implementation of these measures, the stability and reliability of the LED curved screen seamless splicing system can be effectively guaranteed, providing users with long-term, stable, and high-quality display effects.
