Sphere Entertainment partnered with SACO to design and manufacture the LED technology used for Sphere’s exterior and interior media display planes.
The venue’s exterior features a fully programmable 580,000 square foot LED display, the largest LED screen on Earth. Inside, Sphere houses the world’s highest resolution LED screen – a 160,000 square foot display plane that wraps up, over, and behind the audience at a resolution over 120 times that of a high-definition television.
“Working alongside Sphere Entertainment on this visionary project is an incredible honour for SACO and provides us with the opportunity to truly explore the limits of LED video display technology. It has challenged our team to think beyond what is currently possible as we support Sphere Entertainment’s vision to revolutionize entertainment through Sphere” says Jonathan Labbee, CO-CEO of SACO.
Sphere is a first-of-its-kind venue – built to deliver the next generation of experiences with cutting-edge technologies that enable multi-sensory environments at an unparalleled scale. It is the largest spherical structure in the world.
Sphere’s LED exterior was first illuminated on July 4th, 2023, and the venue opened on September 29, 2023. To learn more, visit thesphere.com
