Japan - Brompton Technology has announced its pivotal role in powering the impressive LED displays at Expo 2025 Osaka, which officially opened on 13 April in Yumeshima, Osaka Bay. The company’s advanced Tessera LED processors are being used to power AOTO and INFiLED LED screens across multiple key pavilions, including the Japan Pavilion, the Indonesian Pavilion, and the Immersive Entertainment Zone, delivering image quality and reliability for this 184-day global event.
With more than 150 countries and regions participating, and a focus on the theme Designing Future Society for Our Lives, Expo 2025 showcases a vision of our future, forged through technological innovation, cultural exchange, and global partnership. At the heart of the event’s impressive displays are Brompton's Tessera SX40 processors and XD data distribution units, configured specifically for optimal performance in each pavilion environment.
"The technical requirements for an event of this magnitude demand the highest standards of visual processing," says Sebastian Kanabar, head of sales (APAC) at Brompton Technology. "Our Tessera platform was selected for its ability to deliver not just exceptional image quality, but also for the robust reliability required for continuous operation throughout the exposition's six-month duration."
The Japan Pavilion, located adjacent to The Grand Ring, represents a collaborative design achievement between renowned Tokyo-based architectural firm Nikken Sekkei and designer Oki Sato, founder of Nendo. Distinguished by its innovative circular structures crafted from cross-laminated timber, the pavilion features exhibition spaces thoughtfully integrated between these wooden formations. Following the conclusion of the Expo, the pavilion's materials will be repurposed throughout Japan as part of a comprehensive sustainability initiative.
Argo Visual, as technical contractor for the Indonesian Pavilion, has demonstrated the country’s world-class capabilities in AV technology and design.
The pavilion showcases Indonesia's technological prowess through an impressive array of equipment including 26 Barco UDM & UDX 3DLP projectors, and INFiLED 1.9 LED screens which utilise Brompton Technology processors and Disguise Media Servers, establishing it as one of the most technologically sophisticated presentations at the World Expo.
Meanwhile, Brompton LED processing plays a key role at the immersive Entertainment Zone, captivating visitors with cutting-edge interactive installations, multisensory experiences, and digital art displays that blend Japanese cultural heritage with futuristic technology.
Brompton Technology also played a crucial role in the expo's spectacular opening ceremony, with a single SX40 processor managing AOTO RM2.3 LED panels across 112 individual units. This configuration provided the technical backbone for the ceremony's dazzling visual presentation that welcomed the world to Osaka.
"The opening ceremony required absolute precision in visual delivery," adds Kanabar. "The SX40's frame-accurate synchronisation capabilities and low-latency processing ensured that every moment of this historic event was presented with perfect timing and uncompromised quality."
“With an event the size of Osaka Expo, we knew we could rely on Brompton Technology’s SX40 to deliver the quality and reliability that we needed,” says Alvin Antono, CEO of Argo Visual. “The combination of Brompton’s world-class processing and INFiLED’s LED gave us the quality we needed for this high-profile occasion.”
“The collaboration between AOTO and Brompton Technology at Expo 2025 represents a significant international technology partnership,” Kanabar concludes. “While AOTO is providing the high-performance LED display hardware across multiple pavilions, Brompton's Tessera processors ensure these displays operate at their fullest potential, delivering exceptional visual experiences that support the exposition's themes of innovation and global connection.”
