Jumbotron

The Sony JumboTron made its debut at World's Fair 1985.
The "Super Sign" on ABC's Times Square Studios facility was a very large Sony JumboTron. This unit was later replaced with a Mitsubishi Electric LED display.

A jumbotron,[1] sometimes referred to as jumbovision, is a video display using large-screen television technology (video wall). The original technology was developed in the early 1980s by Mitsubishi Electric[2] and Sony, which coined JumboTron as a brand name in 1985.[3] Mitsubishi Electric sold their version of the technology as Diamond Vision. It is typically used in sports stadiums and concert venues to show close up shots of an event or even other sporting events occurring simultaneously,[4][5] as well as outdoor public places (such as Times Square, for example).[6]
