CUTTING-EDGE LED displays made by a Shenzhen company have been used at three sports venues in Russia to provide a visual experience for worldwide fans for 15 matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Among the 12 sports venues, Kazan Arena, Kaliningrad Stadium and Rostov Arena are equipped with a LED display of nearly 2,000 square meters made by Shenzhen Absen Optoelectronic Co. Ltd.

Iceland will play Croatia today at Rostov Arena at which one last-16 game will take place July 2, sources from the LED maker in Bantian, Longgang District, said.

In December 2017, Absen won the opportunity to provide on-screen visuals for the Final Draw of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia with its world-class LED display systems.

As early as in 2013, Kazan Arena installed a 340-square-meter LED display by Asben primarily used for official information releases, live videos and instant replays.

The product installed at Kazan Arena is Absen A1688, which is capable of delivering the utmost in image quality, product reliability, viewing experience and environmental durability, even in temperatures of minus 40 degrees Celsius.

The innovative displays for Kaliningrad Stadium feature a 27-meter-by-15-meter screen built into the wall of the entrance, and two 15.36-meter-by-10.24-meter displays mounted on the wall inside the venue, serving as a functional and decorative part of the stadium’s video system.

The configuration of Rostov Arena resembles that of Kaliningrad Stadium with two scoreboards inside the arena and another mounted on its exterior surface. The display system is integrated into the video system and capable of playing various types of content, according to a release by the company.
