LED Screen Structure focuses on temporary supporting structures used for large LED screens and video walls at concerts, festivals and other event productions.
As part of our Ringlock Structure system, these structures use modular standards, horizontal members and diagonal bracing to create the supporting area required behind or around an LED display.
From our project experience, the LED screen and its supporting structure should be considered together, but they are not the same system. The screen defines the required display area, while the supporting structure provides the height, width and structural layout needed to position it within the event site.
A typical LED support structure can be understood through several functional parts:
LED Display Area
The required screen width, height and installation position establish the basic functional area of the structure.
Main Supporting Structure
Ringlock standards and horizontal members create the modular framework behind the LED screen.
Bracing Structure
Diagonal members provide restraint within the supporting framework and become increasingly important as the structure develops in height and width.
Base & Supporting Area
The lower structure establishes the footprint and provides the interface between the elevated LED structure and the supporting surface.
The basic relationship is:
LED Screen → Supporting Structure → Bracing & Base → Ground
This is why we do not determine an LED support structure from screen width alone.
A 6m-wide LED wall and a 15m-wide concert screen clearly require different structures, but overall width is only one part of the configuration.
When we develop an LED support structure, we also consider the screen height, installation elevation, total equipment arrangement and its position relative to the main stage.
The same LED dimensions can also lead to different structural layouts.
A screen positioned directly behind the main stage may be integrated into the rear structural area. Large side screens may require independent supporting wings. Other projects may use separate LED structures positioned away from the main performance platform.
For this reason, we treat LED dimensions + position + supporting arrangement as one configuration problem rather than applying one fixed structure to every screen of a similar size.
Large LED structures often work closely with other parts of the event system.
A rear LED wall may be positioned in relation to the Stage & Platform Structure, while large side screens may become part of the structural zones beside the main stage.
Where an LED screen is positioned close to an elevated roof, its dimensions and location also need to be coordinated with the Roof Support Structure.
The important point is that these systems can be designed as separate functional modules while still being coordinated as one complete event structure.
This modular approach is particularly useful when project requirements change. A larger LED screen may require modification of the LED support module without necessarily changing the complete stage platform, while a major change in screen position can affect its relationship with the stage, roof or side structures.
Not every part of an LED support system must use the same material or connection method.
Ringlock is useful for creating the main three-dimensional supporting volume, while aluminum components may be integrated where a lighter frame, beam or equipment connection is more practical.
When both systems perform substantial functions within the same project, the configuration may also become part of our Hybrid Structure analysis.
The general relationship between different modular materials and connection systems is explained further in DragonStage's Connection & Material System.
The cases in this category may examine:
LED screen dimensions and position;
supporting structure width and height;
Ringlock modular grid;
standards, horizontal members and diagonal bracing;
rear LED and side-screen configurations;
base and supporting footprint;
relationship with stage and roof structures;
Ringlock and aluminum integration;
component quantities and functions;
configuration changes for different LED layouts.
The purpose of these cases is to show how an LED display requirement is translated into a practical supporting structure, and how that structure becomes part of a larger temporary event system.
