In June 2011, a set of LED full-colors display from Shenzhen Absen Optoelectronic Co. Ltd officially landed on Islam’s holy land – Mecca. It was situated at just opposite Gate 1 of Mecca Masjid (King Abdul Aziz Gate 1), and left of the front door of the world’s tallest clock tower (Mecca Clock Royal Tower). Due to its special location, it is often caught on camera by Saudi Arabia or other Muslim TV stations during live broadcast.

Mecca is the holiest city in Islam. It is located in the western part of Saudi Arabia, and is a religious old city. Pilgrimage is one of the five principles of Islam; every Muslim who is financially and physically capable, regardless of his skin color, nationality, social background, is obliged to visit Mecca at least once in his lifetime. Pilgrimage to Mecca is the biggest religious event of the year in Islam.  In every December in the Islamic calendar, millions of Muslims gather in Mecca to perform the annual pilgrimage.  This activity has continued for over 1400 years.

Mecca is situated in the tropical desert climate zone, very hot throughout the year, and has little precipitation.  The Absen A1688 outdoor full-colors display they have picked this time has good moisture-proof and anti-corrosion features, so that it can be operated in all kinds of bad weather outdoors, with very high durability. This display has high brightness, distant viewable distances, and can reliably display sharp video content on stage or in commercial arenas in distant areas, as well as in outdoor environment with very strong sunlight.  This display is very cost-effective; it not only satisfies the client’s need for high-quality screen display, but is also competitive in price, which greatly reduces the client’s investment cost.

The fact that this LED full-colors display from Shenzhen Absen Optoelectronic Co. Ltd can land on Islam’s holy land Mecca, taking up such a esteemed and special location, providing video and sound service to 600 million Mecca pilgrims each year, is very meaningful and significant indeed.
