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)
