A '''jumbotron''',<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jumbotron - Wall Video Screens, Custom Led Signs USA|url=https://jumbotron.com/|access-date=2021-12-04|language=en-US}}</ref> 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]]<ref name="sbnation" /> and [[Sony]], which coined '''JumboTron''' as a brand name in 1985.<ref name="Popular" /> Mitsubishi Electric sold their version of the technology as [[Diamond Vision]]. It is typically used in [[sports stadium]]s and [[concert venue]]s to show team statistics, close up shots of an event or even other sporting events occurring simultaneously.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=QTkL5K3RCM0C&pg=PA119 Tailgate to Heaven: A British NFL Fan Tackles America - Adam Goldstein<!-- Bot generated title -->]. p. 119.</ref><ref name="Mercer" />The same jumbotron technology is used in outdoor public places, often for advertising purposes (such as [[Times Square]], for example).<ref>{{cite news |last1=Elliott |first1=Stuart |title=THE MEDIA BUSINESS: ADVERTISING; Sony's Times Square Jumbotron has begun to attract advertisers. |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/08/31/business/media-business-advertising-sony-s-times-square-jumbotron-has-begun-attract.html |access-date=27 September 2019 |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=31 August 1993}}</ref>
