Challenges –
Growing adoption of substitutes such as LED screens or wall panels
Growing adoption of LED screens or wall panels as a
better alternative for 3D projectors act as a major factor restraining its
market growth. With repeated usage, projectors tend to lose their display
brightness which acts as a major drawback, thus creating wider adoption of LED
screens independent of such issues. Owing to capabilities such as bright image
displays along with easy setup requirement of LED wall panels, it has emerged
as an attractive choice for serving applications be it billboards, store signage
and advertising, indoor displays, stage shows and so on. In addition, 3D
projection is comparitively expensive than LED displays attributing to
difficulties in displaying deep saturated colours with less contrast. The main
issue which had helped gain LED displays wide popularity is the associated
maintenance or repair costs. Repairing a LED wall is easier with requirement of
only updating programming software and replacement of broken bulbs, while
projector displays need to be repaired under skilled expertise, resulting in
work delays. Since saving additional upfront costs associated with projection,
has been slowing down the adoption rates of 3D projections across small scale
or mid-sized organizations, hampering its market growth.
