The application and future prospects of fine pitch LED displays in XR virtual production

In recent years, the maturation of XR technology has sparked a wave of virtual shooting in domestic costume dramas, advertisements, and large-scale performances, bringing unprecedented changes to the film and television industry. In XR virtual production, small-pitch LED displays play a crucial role, enhancing the realism and immersion of the shooting effects. This article will explore the applications and development prospects of small-pitch LED displays in XR virtual production.

Virtual production and XR technology

First, let's understand virtual production and XR technology. Virtual production (VP) refers to a new film making technique that originated in Hollywood. XR virtual production combines the real and virtual worlds, creating a blended environment that provides audiences with an immersive viewing experience. Compared to traditional filming methods, XR virtual production is not limited by location and time, offering significant advantages in terms of production costs, shooting cycles, and scene transitions.

The integration of LED displays with XR virtual production

Next, let's examine the integration of LED displays with XR virtual production. During the virtual shooting process, fine pitch LED displays serve as backgrounds, showcasing high-quality virtual scenes in real-time. This allows actors to interact with the environments, enhancing the realism and immersion of the filming experience. By utilizing dynamic backgrounds and precise image synchronization, production teams can seamlessly switch between multiple scenes within a single space, significantly improving creative efficiency and visual impact, thereby making film and television production more innovative and flexible. For example, in the TV series "Blossoms Shanghai," some stunning shots of the "Yellow River Road" sequence were achieved through XR and LED backgrounds. The LED display quickly recreated the virtual shooting environment required by the director, creating a "nostalgic" Shanghai setting with minimal construction costs.

Fine pitch LED displays are characterized by high resolution and excellent color reproduction, allowing for extremely realistic virtual scenes. By combining LED screens with XR virtual production technology, these virtual environments can be presented more authentically, immersing the audience even further. Additionally, small-pitch LED displays feature high brightness and stability, ensuring consistent visual quality even in varying lighting conditions.


The Lpdisplay’s LR series small pixel pitch LED display is a high-definition screen developed specifically for XR filming. It features a lightweight die-cast aluminum housing and supports the DCI-P3 color gamut standard, with a visual angle of up to 165 degrees. Our unique three-sided XR stage LED display solution allows for the integration of live action and virtual scenes through XR system image expansion technology, achieving large-scale shooting within limited dimensions. Additionally, the LED display supports permanent installation, significantly reducing installation costs while ensuring optimal filming results and ease of setup.


With technological advancements, virtual filming technology in China is entering a period of rapid growth, narrowing the gap between our virtual production capabilities in the film and television entertainment sector and the world’s leading standards. In the future, Lpdisplay will strengthen its technological innovation and contribute to the development and progress of XR virtual filming through more innovative and advanced technologies and practices.
