Question

What is an LED display? Applications of LED display

Answer 1

LED display (LED panel): LED is the abbreviation of light emitting diode, or LED for short. It is a display method that controls semiconductor light emitting diodes. It is roughly composed of many small lights, usually red, that display characters by turning the lights on and off. It is a display screen used to display various information such as text, graphics, images, animations, market conditions, videos, and video signals.

LED display screens are divided into graphic display screens and video display screens, both of which are composed of LED matrix blocks. Graphic display screens can display Chinese characters, English texts, and graphics synchronously with computers; video display screens are controlled by microcomputers, with graphics, text, and images, and play various information in a real-time, synchronous, and clear information dissemination method. They can also display two-dimensional and three-dimensional animations, videos, TV, VCD programs, and live events. LED display screens display pictures with bright colors and strong three-dimensional sense. They are as quiet as oil paintings and as dynamic as movies. They are widely used in finance, taxation, industry and commerce, post and telecommunications, sports, advertising, factories and mines, transportation, education systems, stations, docks, airports, shopping malls, hospitals, hotels, banks, securities markets, construction markets, auction houses, industrial enterprise management and other public places.

LED display screens can display changing numbers, texts, graphics and images; they can be used not only in indoor environments but also in outdoor environments, and have advantages that projectors, TV walls and LCD screens cannot match.

The reason why LED has been widely valued and developed rapidly is inseparable from its own advantages. These advantages can be summarized as: high brightness, low operating voltage, low power consumption, miniaturization, long life, impact resistance and stable performance. The development prospects of LED are extremely broad, and it is currently developing towards higher brightness, higher weather resistance, higher luminous density, higher luminous uniformity, reliability and full color.

1. Introduction

LED display is a display device that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as display elements. 

It has the characteristics of high brightness, low power consumption, and high reliability, and is widely used in indoor and outdoor advertising, stage performances, stadiums and other occasions.

2. Working principle

LED display screens display images and text by controlling the brightness and color of LEDs through drive circuits. Usually, each LED is an independent pixel, and the screen is composed of many pixels, which can display different colors and brightness.

3. Basic composition

LED display screens are mainly composed of the following parts:

3.1 LED module

LED module is the smallest unit that constitutes the LED display screen, which consists of multiple LED pixels and related circuits. Usually, it adopts a modular design for easy assembly and maintenance.

3.2 Drive circuit

The drive circuit is the key part for controlling the brightness and color of the LED module. It usually uses serial communication to connect to the control device (such as a computer) and control the display effect of the LED display screen by sending instructions.

3.3 Control device

The control device is an external device used to control the LED display screen, which can be a computer, mobile phone, etc. The display content can be edited and operated through the control device.

3.4 Power module

LED display screens require a stable power supply. The power module is responsible for converting the input voltage into a voltage suitable for the operation of the LED display screen and providing a stable current to the LED module and the drive circuit.

3.5 Auxiliary equipment

LED display screens may also require some auxiliary equipment, such as heat sinks, protective covers, etc., to ensure the normal operation and protection of the display screen.

4. Technical parameters

The technical parameters of LED display screens are very important for selecting and using LED display screens. Common technical parameters include:

4.1 Display pixel pitch

The display pixel pitch refers to the distance between two adjacent pixels, usually in millimeters (mm). The smaller the pixel pitch, the more delicate the display effect.

4.2 Brightness

The brightness of the LED display screen refers to the maximum brightness of the display screen. The higher the brightness, the better the visibility of the display screen in a strong light environment.

4.3 Refresh rate

The refresh rate refers to the number of times the LED display screen updates the display content per unit time, in Hertz (Hz). The higher the refresh rate, the smoother the display effect.

4.4 Color Depth

Color depth refers to the number of different colors that a display can display simultaneously. Common color depths include 8-bit (256 colors), 16-bit (65,536 colors), and 24-bit (16,777,216 colors).
