The opening timeline

130 dated openings11 planned openings

Screens opened by year

130 dated openings

Each bar shows the number of LED screens opened that year, divided by manufacturer. The six manufacturers with the most dated openings across all years are shown separately, ordered by first appearance; the remaining manufacturers and unknown entries are combined as Other. Counts reflect the database’s coverage, including screens that later closed. Planned, cancelled and undated openings are excluded; the current year is still in progress.
