Introduction to LED Display Technology

An LED display is a flat-panel screen that utilizes an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as pixels to create visible images, videos, and text. Unlike traditional display technologies, LED screens offer superior brightness, energy efficiency, and durability, making them the preferred choice for both indoor and outdoor applications across various industries.

How LED Displays Work

Basic Working Principle
LED displays operate through the electroluminescence phenomenon, where semiconductors emit light when electrical current passes through them. Each LED acts as an individual pixel, and by controlling the intensity of red, green, and blue LEDs, the screen can produce millions of colors with precise accuracy.

Key Components:

• LED Modules: Contain clusters of red, green, and blue LEDs

• Control System: Processes and distributes video signals

• Power Supply: Provides stable electricity to all components

• Cabinet Structure: Houses and protects electronic components

• Sending/Receiving Cards: Manage data transmission between controller and LEDs

Types of LED Displays

By Installation Environment

Outdoor LED Displays

• High brightness (5000-8000 nits) for sunlight visibility

• IP65+ waterproof rating for weather resistance

• Larger pixel pitches (P4-P20+) for longer viewing distances

• Enhanced durability against environmental factors

Indoor LED Displays

• Moderate brightness (800-1500 nits) for controlled lighting

• Finer pixel pitches (P0.9-P4) for close viewing

• Slimmer cabinet designs for space efficiency

• Enhanced color accuracy for detailed imagery

By Technology

Conventional LED Displays

• Standard SMD (Surface Mount Device) technology

• Cost-effective solution for various applications

• Proven reliability with extensive industry use

COB (Chip-on-Board) Displays

• Enhanced protection and durability

• Better heat dissipation

• Higher reliability in demanding environments

GOB (Glue-on-Board) Displays

• Added protective epoxy coating

• Increased resistance to moisture and impact

• Ideal for rental applications and high-traffic areas

Key Technical Specifications

Pixel Pitch

• Definition: Distance between pixel centers (measured in millimeters)

• Selection Guide: Smaller pitch = higher resolution = closer viewing

• Common Ranges: P0.9-P2.5 (indoor), P3-P10 (outdoor), P10+ (large stadiums)

Brightness

• Measured in nits (cd/m²)

• Indoor: 800-1500 nits

• Outdoor: 5000-8000+ nits

• Automatic brightness adjustment capabilities

Refresh Rate

• Standard: 1920Hz-3840Hz

• High-End: 3840Hz-7680Hz

• Importance: Higher rates eliminate flickering and ensure smooth motion

Viewing Angle

• Horizontal/Vertical: 140°-160°

• Wider angles ensure consistent image quality from various positions

Protection Rating

• IP43: Basic dust and moisture protection (indoor)

• IP54: Enhanced protection for challenging environments

• IP65: Complete dust protection and water resistance (outdoor)
