Convention centre gets LED display
A convention centre in Raleigh in North Carolina is to feature a new LED display.
It will take the form of a shimmer wall art installation and will measure 211 feet long by 44 feet high, taking up one entire wall of the city's convention centre, reports LEDs Magazine.
No public funds were used to build the LED display, instead Cree, an LED manufacture, donated money for the project.
During the day the wall will look like an oak tree, because of the city's nickname the City of Oaks.
It will change shape and disappear as the aluminium squares on its facade move with the wind.
However, at night the LEDs will light up and will display different colours depending on the situation, for instance the colours of the sports team playing in the centre that night or different shades of green for St Patrick's Day.
