Charbax | Ventana at Display Week 2024, microLED tiles to revolutionize large size Displays, best performance @charbax | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
At Display Week 2024 in sunny San Jose, Jeremy Hochman, co-founder of Megapixel, introduced the Ventana platform, a revolutionary digital tile designed to seamlessly blend architectural spaces with the digital world. Hochman emphasized the uniqueness of this incredibly thin micro-LED display tile, which architects can integrate into various public or residential spaces, treating it as a building material. Ventana stands out due to its compact design and versatility, offering two distinct surface finishes: a high-contrast liquid black and an ultra-matte option. This duality provides users with a choice in surface aesthetics for large-format displays, a first in the market.

In addition to the physical tiles, Megapixel has developed comprehensive processing capabilities for their displays, including third-party displays. Hochman showcased various components, such as a tile-side processor called PX1, which handles essential functions like color space conversion, calibration, and metadata processing for LED tiles. This processing technology, crucial for the performance of micro-LED displays, is also used in the broader LCD and OLED industries, demonstrating Megapixel's technical prowess.
Earlier in the day, Megapixel participated in an XR (extended reality) panel, discussing the integration of XR technology into large venues, virtual productions, and wearable devices. Hochman highlighted the convergence of AR (augmented reality) headsets with large-format displays, enabling shared immersive experiences. This approach transforms digital interactions, making them communal rather than solitary, and enhancing the overall immersive experience through vast, physical display installations.
Megapixel's Ventana platform aims to create immersive environments that fill an entire room, offering an experience comparable to wearing VR goggles but on a much larger scale. These installations can encompass walls, floors, and ceilings, allowing for a comprehensive immersive experience. Hochman mentioned that there are no limitations on the size of these configurations, with some applications involving thousands of tiles. The company's processing equipment supports up to 100 gigs of bandwidth, ensuring high pixel capacity and adaptability in various shapes and sizes.
Ventana's potential extends beyond single spaces to multiple locations worldwide. Hochman envisioned scenarios where displays serve as windows into digital worlds or connect distant locations, such as having a large display in one's home that creates a virtual window into another family's living room across the globe. This technology aims to foster a sense of presence and connection, making digital interactions more intimate and engaging.
The platform's versatility also opens up new possibilities for video conferencing, where participants can appear life-size, creating an immersive and realistic communication experience. Hochman compared this to watching a basketball game on a large display, where life-size players provide a more compelling experience than traditional television. This capability can transform how we consume and interact with various forms of content, from sports to virtual meetings.
Creative opportunities abound with the Ventana platform, allowing content creators to develop unique experiences tailored to large-format displays. Hochman anticipated that new forms of content would emerge, designed specifically for these immersive environments. Static art displays, for instance, can take on new life with subtle, realistic movements, enhancing the viewer's experience without overwhelming them with constant motion.
Megapixel's commitment to innovation and collaboration within the display industry is evident. By controlling the entire hardware and software stack, they ensure optimal image quality. Additionally, their collaboration with about 30 display manufacturers fosters a synergistic environment where advancements benefit the entire industry. Hochman highlighted the importance of shared progress and the mutual benefits of licensing and integrating patented technologies, driving the overall growth and enhancement of the micro-LED space.
