Stadium LED display

A stadium LED display must stay readable from every stand, appear on camera without flicker and withstand pitch-side impacts. Artixium designs perimeter LED boards, scoreboards, fascia and vomitory displays, with installation support for professional sport venues.

Which LED displays for a stadium?

LED display solutions designed for stadium visibility, broadcast impact and live-event performance.

Perimeter systems

High-impact advertising boards designed for stadium visibility, broadcast usage and sport-specific safety constraints.

Pitch-side boards occupy the most demanding position in the venue: within a metre of players, filmed continuously, lit from above by floodlights. The cabinet has to absorb an impact without shattering and hold the regulation tilt angle, which is a structural question before it is a display one.

That is what the Neipatec ST is built around: a shock-absorbing perimeter cabinet whose refresh rate and scan behaviour are specified for the broadcast camera rather than for the eye, so it keeps its colour while a camera pans across it at speed.

Where the perimeter has to be read from both sides (a stand facing it, a track running alongside the boards), the Neipatec ST Duo is double-sided: one line of cabinets on the ground, two sponsor inventories to sell.

Scoreboards

Large central or wall-mounted displays for live scores, timing, replays, sponsor content and audience information.

The scoreboard is the only surface every seat looks at, so it is sized from the furthest row rather than the nearest. An outdoor venue needs enough brightness to stay legible in direct afternoon sun and enough dimming range not to glare at a night fixture: a spread that peak-brightness figures alone never describe.

The Cobalt Scoreboard is built for that position: up to 10,000 nits so the score reads against the sky, an IP-rated cabinet that stays outdoors all season, and a feed that carries live timing data, replays and sponsor loops without a visible switch between them. The same cabinet serves a football scoreboard, a tennis court and an athletics meeting: only the data source changes.

Fascia / ribbon

Continuous ribbon displays for premium seating areas, brand storytelling and synchronized event sequences.

A ribbon is one continuous canvas wrapped around the bowl, often past a hundred metres, which makes uniformity the whole exercise: a cabinet that drifts half a shade is invisible alone and obvious in a row of eighty. The curve is rarely regular either, so the fixing system carries as much of the project as the panel does.

The Cobalt Fascia is the cabinet we run on those tiers: 10,000 nits, IP68/IP67, and a format made for long horizontal runs that stay colour-matched end to end. Content plays synchronised with the main screen, so a sponsor sequence sweeps the whole bowl in a single movement.

LED stairs

Integrated stair displays that turn seating access and architectural steps into visible information or brand surfaces.

Stair displays sit on the vertical face of each step, so they are read from below at a sharp angle and from a short distance (a few metres, sometimes less), which sets the pixel pitch. They also live in a public circulation area: cleaned with the rest of the concourse, knocked by bags and feet, so the front face and the fixing matter more than the specification sheet suggests.

No two staircases are alike, so these are nearly always custom projects: riser height, tread depth and the curve of the flight are measured on site, and the cabinet is drawn around them rather than cut to fit. The return is advertising inventory a venue did not previously have to sell.

Vomitory

Display surfaces positioned around arena entrances and access points to guide spectators and extend event communication.

Vomitory screens sit at the tunnels where spectators enter the bowl, a position that is half wayfinding and half advertising. They carry gate numbers and safety messages while the stands fill, then switch to sponsor content once the match starts. Because they are read at close range by a moving crowd, they use a finer pitch than anything on the pitch side, and they have to stay readable under the mixed lighting of a concourse.

Depending on the surface, the Thorite 3 covers vomitory screens read from a few metres, and the Cobalt the larger ones seen from across the concourse. Both are front-serviced, which matters in a corridor where the back of the screen is usually against the wall.

Where it goes

We build LED
for every kind of sport venue

Artixium manufactures LED displays for football and rugby stadiums, indoor arenas built for basketball, handball, volleyball and ice hockey, municipal sports halls and hospitality areas. The same factory behind all of them, four very different briefs in front.

Stadium

Football and rugby grounds: read from the far stand and by the broadcast camera, installed between two fixtures.

Viewing distance

We specify from the viewing distance, not from a catalogue. A surface read from the far stand and one read from three metres away in a box are ten pixel-pitch classes apart, and we build both.

Indoor arena

Basketball, handball, volleyball and ice hockey: a closed bowl where black level matters more than brightness.

Gymnasium

Club handball, basketball and volleyball: one wall-mounted scoreboard with live timing, on a club budget.

The building

We engineer to the building. An open bowl takes rain, sun and floodlights; a closed hall is lit under control, where black level counts for more than peak brightness; wooden cladding and low ceilings decide the fixing.

VIP boxes

Watched from three metres: fine pitch, silent, finished like furniture.

The budget

And we size to the budget. One wall-mounted scoreboard can cover a club’s entire need, where a stadium runs four systems at once. Both are real projects for us: the four below show what each one involves.

Frequently asked questions

Start from the venue type, viewing distance, brightness needs, indoor or outdoor conditions, content strategy and budget. Our team runs a technical study before recommending a configuration.

Perimeter boards are read from the stands and by broadcast cameras rather than up close, so P8 to P10 is the usual range outdoors. The deciding factor is not the nearest spectator but the camera: too fine a pitch adds cost without adding anything the broadcast can resolve.

Yes. Our perimeter systems are configured to the impact, shock-absorption and tilt-angle requirements that govern pitch-side equipment, and the Neipatec ST cabinet is built around those constraints rather than adapted to them afterwards.

A stadium LED display that will appear on television needs a high refresh rate and a scan behaviour specified for the camera, otherwise it bands or strobes on screen even though it looks perfect to spectators. This is specified at the design stage, not corrected later.

Yes, through a partner rather than from us. Clubs hosting a few fixtures a season usually hire, while a venue with weekly matches buys. Artixium manufactures the cabinets behind both cases: we sell to the club or its integrator, and to the rental companies who cover the one-off dates.

Cost follows surface area, pixel pitch, brightness and structure rather than a per-screen price. A perimeter run and a main scoreboard of the same budget are very different projects, which is why we quote from a technical brief rather than a catalogue.

Yes. Installation, commissioning and long-term maintenance are handled in-house, with spare parts and repair follow-up planned around your fixture calendar.

Perimeter, ribbon, stair and concourse surfaces are all sellable inventory. Content runs synchronised across them, so a sponsor sequence can sweep the whole bowl in one movement.

It depends on manufacturing lead time and the gaps in your calendar. Installation windows fall between fixtures, so the schedule is built around the season rather than around the site.
