Recently, the powerful 7.9-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar has caused severe disasters to the local area, inflicting heavy damage on infrastructure. Among the affected facilities, outdoor LED displays could not withstand the intense tremors - with building collapses, damaged communication equipment, and displays suffering varying degrees of destruction. This earthquake has not only tested building seismic resistance but also sounded an alarm for the outdoor display industry.

Challenges of Earthquakes on Outdoor Displays

When earthquakes occur, outdoor displays face multiple severe tests:  

1. Vulnerable Support Structures

   Traditional fully sealed LED screens are heavy and bulky. If the fixing structure is poorly designed, they are prone to collapse due to resonance or structural instability during earthquakes. For instance, in some earthquake-prone regions, there have been cases where entire LED displays toppled due to support structures failing to withstand the tremors.  

2. High Risk of Electronic Component Damage

   Critical components such as LED beads, power modules, and wiring may suffer from solder joint fractures or poor contact during intense shaking, leading to display malfunctions or complete failure.  

3. Significant Falling Hazards

   Large LED screens mounted on building facades or columns pose serious risks if installation brackets loosen during strong quakes, potentially causing the entire display to fall from heights and endanger pedestrians.  

Kingaurora Mesh Screens Demonstrate Outstanding Earthquake Resistance

1. Lightweight Design Reduces Collapse Risks

   - 30-60% lighter than traditional LED displays due to hollow structure  

   - Significantly decreases load on support structures  

   - Minimizes seismic impact forces and collapse potential  

2. High Ventilation Rate Mitigates Vibration Damage

   - 40-60% open area improves wind resistance  

   - Hollow structure distributes seismic forces evenly  

   - Reduces vibration transmission and resonance effects  

3. Modular Assembly Enhances Maintenance Efficiency

   - Damaged modules can be individually replaced  

   - No need for complete screen removal  

   - Lowers post-disaster repair costs significantly  

4. Flexible Mounting Minimizes Screen Damage

   - Compatible with shock-absorbing brackets  

   - Earthquake-resistant bolt installation  

   - Energy-absorbing design protects screen integrity

Kingaurora Mesh Screens Lead the Future of Outdoor Displays  

As climate change and frequent disasters like earthquakes pose growing challenges worldwide, urban infrastructure demands higher safety, stability, and energy efficiency—ushering in a technological transformation for outdoor displays.  

With advantages like lightweight design, energy efficiency, and earthquake resistance, mesh screens are gradually replacing traditional LED displays, becoming the ideal choice for outdoor advertising in seismic zones and high-rise buildings. Their applications continue expanding across landscape lighting, urban beautification, commercial advertising, and sports venues—particularly for building facades and elevated installations where safety advantages shine brightest.  

The Myanmar earthquake served as a wake-up call for the industry, making seismic safety upgrades a critical development focus. Mesh screens, with their unique strengths, are emerging as the dominant product in outdoor LED displays. As technology continues advancing and market demand grows, mesh screens will undoubtedly see global adoption—delivering safer, more reliable display solutions for cities worldwide.
