How are the LED screens on the storefronts made and installed?

I can explain the process of manufacturing and installing store LED screens in detail. The entire process is generally divided into four stages: design, manufacturing, debugging, and installation. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

1️⃣ Design Stage

LED screen production begins with design:

Determine screen size and resolution

The screen's length and width are determined based on the size of the storefront, viewing distance, and budget.

Resolution is determined by the pixel pitch (P, in mm):

P1.25~P2.5mm: Close-range viewing (e.g., in-store advertising screens)

P3~P6mm: Medium distance (shop windows, storefronts)

P10 and above: Long distance (outdoor billboards)

Select LED type

SMD (Surface Mount Device): High pixel density, clear image, suitable for close-range viewing

DIP (Dual In-line Package): High brightness, outdoor sunlight resistance, suitable for long-distance viewing

Determine functional requirements

Indoor/Outdoor

Waterproof and dustproof rating (IP65, IP67, etc.)

Whether it supports dynamic video playback and remote control

2️⃣ Manufacturing Stage

The manufacturing stage mainly involves combining LED modules, control systems, and structures into a complete screen.

LED module manufacturing

LED beads are soldered onto the PCB board → driver chips are soldered → the brightness and color of each LED bead are tested.

LED modules usually have standard sizes (e.g., 320×160mm), and multiple modules are spliced ​​together to form a large screen.

Assembly of the casing/frame

The casing is made of aluminum alloy or steel structure (thickness and strength are determined by the screen size and outdoor conditions).

The LED modules are fixed inside the casing, ensuring flatness and stability.

Installation of the control system

Includes LED control card, receiving card, power module, and connecting cables.

The control system is responsible for screen refresh and playback, and signal transmission and power connections are usually pre-tested.

3️⃣ Debugging Stage

After the screen is manufactured, functional and display debugging is performed:

Single module testing

Check if the brightness and color of each module are uniform.

Whole screen splicing debugging

Check the spliced ​​screen for bright spots, dark spots, and color differences.

Adjust brightness, refresh rate, and color correction.

Software testing

Install playback software and test the display effect of pictures, text, and videos.

Check if the remote control or timed playback function is working properly. 4. Installation Phase

Installation involves securely fixing the screen in its designated location within the store, ensuring both safety and aesthetics.

Bracket or Mount Installation

Large screens typically use wall-mounted or freestanding brackets, requiring attention to load-bearing capacity and wind resistance.

Outdoor screens require waterproof covers and protective netting.

Module and Wiring Connection

Each LED module is installed into the cabinet and connected to the power supply and signal cables.

Ensure seamless splicing between modules.

Overall Debugging and Protection

After installation, perform a comprehensive test to confirm uniform brightness and consistent color.

Outdoor screens require rain and dust protection (e.g., silicone sealing, waterproof cable conduits).

Fixing and Acceptance

Confirm that the screen is securely fixed and free from looseness.

Complete operational training (software playback, remote control).

✅ Summary

Design: Size, pixels, LED type, functional requirements

Manufacturing: Module welding → Cabinet assembly → Control system installation

Debugging: Brightness, color, splicing, software functions

Installation: Bracket fixing → Wiring connection → Full screen debugging → Protection
