Find clear answers to the most common questions about our LED displays, ordering process, and technical support.
A LED (short for Light Emitting Diode) is a tiny electronic component that emits light when an electric current passes through it. Unlike traditional bulbs that use heat to produce light, LEDs emit light through a process called electroluminescence — which makes them much more efficient and durable.
The color of the light depends on the material used in the LED (for example, red, green, blue, or white).
Key Advantages
– Energy efficient – uses up to 80% less power than traditional bulbs.
– Long lifespan – can last 50,000 hours or more.
– Durable – resistant to shock, vibration, and temperature changes.
– Instant brightness – no warm-up time.
– Eco-friendly – no mercury or harmful substances.
In a LED display, thousands (or millions) of LEDs are arranged in a grid to form images and videos.
– Each LED acts as a pixel (or part of a pixel).
– By combining red, green, and blue LEDs (RGB), the screen can display millions of colors.
– These displays are used in billboards, stadium screens, store signage, and stage backdrops — anywhere bright, vivid visuals are needed.
A pixel is one tiny dot of color that, together with many other pixels, makes up the full image you see on a screen — whether it’s a phone, TV, or LED display.
Each pixel can show a specific color and brightness, and when thousands (or millions) of them are lit up together, they form pictures, videos, or text.
How Pixels Work
– In most displays, each pixel is made up of three sub-pixels: red, green, and blue (RGB).
– By adjusting the brightness of these three colors, the screen can create millions of different colors.
(For example, full red + full green = yellow.)
– By adjusting the brightness of these three colors, the screen can create millions of different colors.
(For example, full red + full green = yellow.)
In LED Displays
– Each LED (or group of LEDs) represents one pixel.
– The smaller the distance between pixels (called pixel pitch), the sharper and clearer the image appears — especially when viewed up close.
– Example: A screen with a P2.5 pixel pitch has a 2.5 mm distance between pixels, making it high resolution.
Pixel pitch refers to the distance (in millimeters) between the centers of two neighboring pixels (LED clusters) on a display.
It is usually written as P followed by a number — for example, P2.5, P6, or P10.
Pixel pitch is determined by the physical spacing between:
– Two adjacent LED pixels, measured from the center of one pixel to the center of the next, horizontally or vertically.
– The measurement includes both the LEDs themselves and the gap between them.
What It Affects
– Image clarity & resolution – A smaller pixel pitch (e.g., P2.5) means pixels are closer together, resulting in sharper images and better detail, especially for close viewing distances.
– Viewing distance – A larger pixel pitch (e.g., P10) is suitable for large outdoor screens, where viewers are far away.
– Cost & power – Smaller pixel pitches require more LEDs per area, so they tend to be more expensive and consume more power.
A LED display is a screen made up of many tiny light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that work together to form images, videos, and text.
How It Works :
– Each pixel on the screen is made from red, green, and blue (RGB) LEDs.
– By varying the brightness of these LEDs, the display can reproduce millions of colors.
– Thousands (or millions) of these pixels are arranged in a grid to display videos, animations, or static content.
Types of LED Displays
– Indoor LED displays – high resolution, used in stores, studios, stages, and corporate settings.
– Outdoor LED displays – weatherproof, high brightness, used for billboards, stadiums, and building facades.
– Transparent, flexible, and curved LED displays – for creative or architectural applications.
Main Advantages
– Extremely bright and visible even in daylight
– Energy-efficient and long-lasting
– Customizable in size, shape, and resolution
– Ideal for advertising, events, retail, and digital signage
The lifespan of an LED display generally ranges between 80,000 and 100,000 hours of operation — that’s roughly 9 to 11 years of continuous use.
The lifespan of an LED display refers to the period during which the LEDs maintain at least 50% of their original brightness. After this point, the screen still works, but the image may appear dimmer or less vibrant.
Several factors influence how long an LED display lasts:
– LED quality – High-grade LEDs (e.g., from reputable manufacturers) last longer.
– Operating temperature – Excessive heat can reduce lifespan.
– Power and brightness settings – Running at maximum brightness continuously shortens longevity.
– Environmental conditions – Outdoor displays exposed to dust, humidity, or UV light may degrade faster.
– Maintenance – Regular cleaning and proper ventilation extend performance life.
In short, a well-maintained LED display can last up to 100,000 hours (over 10 years), depending on usage, environment, and component quality.
Yes — LED displays can be used both indoors and outdoors, but the type of LED display used differs based on the environment. Here’s how they compare:
* Indoor LED Displays :
– Brightness: Lower (typically 800–2,500 nits), since they don’t need to compete with sunlight.
– Pixel Pitch: Much smaller (e.g., P1.2–P4), providing higher resolution for close viewing.
– Enclosure: Not weatherproof—intended for climate-controlled environments.
– Common Uses: Retail stores, shopping malls, conference halls, airports, TV studios, churches, etc.
* Outdoor LED Displays
– Brightness: Very high (5,000–10,000 nits or more) to remain visible in direct sunlight.
– Pixel Pitch: Larger (e.g., P6–P16), since they’re viewed from farther away.
– Enclosure: Weatherproof (IP65 or higher) to protect against rain, dust, and temperature changes.
– Common Uses: Billboards, stadium screens, building facades, roadside signs, public information boards, etc.
Brightness is one of the most important characteristics of LED displays.
Brightness refers to how much light the display emits and is measured in nits (cd/m²) — one nit equals one candela per square meter.
Typical brightness levels vary by application:
Application | Typical Brightness (nits) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Indoor LED displays | 800 – 2,500 nits | Optimized for close viewing and ambient indoor lighting |
Semi-outdoor displays | 2,500 – 5,000 nits | Used in covered outdoor areas or behind glass (e.g., storefronts) |
Outdoor LED displays | 5,000 – 10,000+ nits | Designed for sunlight visibility and long viewing distances |
Yes — brightness is fully adjustable in LED displays.
Most systems allow manual or automatic adjustment, depending on design and control software.
– Manual adjustment:
The user can set brightness through the control system (software or remote).
– Automatic adjustment:
Many modern LED displays include ambient light sensors that detect surrounding light and automatically adjust brightness for optimal visibility and energy efficiency.
Example: At night, brightness is reduced to avoid glare and save power.
Daytime: Brightness increases to remain visible under sunlight.
Yes, LED displays are generally very energy-efficient, especially compared to older display technologies like LCDs with fluorescent backlights or traditional neon and incandescent signage.
Reasons Why LED Displays Are Energy-Efficient
1 – Efficient Light Source:
LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) convert most of their electrical energy into light rather than heat — making them far more efficient than other lighting technologies.
2 – Lower Power Consumption:
For the same brightness level, LEDs use significantly less electricity than fluorescent or incandescent lights.
3 – Brightness Control:
LED displays can automatically adjust brightness based on ambient light — reducing energy use at night or indoors.
4 – Selective Pixel Illumination:
Only the pixels needed to display an image are powered, saving energy compared to systems that backlight the entire screen.
5 – Long Lifespan:
LEDs typically last 50,000–100,000 hours, reducing the need for replacements and maintenance energy.
Example of Energy Efficiency
– A large outdoor LED billboard may use 30–50% less energy than a traditional neon or fluorescent sign of equivalent size and brightness.
– Indoor LED video walls are also more efficient than LCD video walls because they don’t require backlighting.
However…
– Energy use still depends on brightness, display size, pixel pitch, and operating time.
– Outdoor displays running 24/7 at full brightness will consume more energy than indoor displays operated intermittently.
The answer to this question depends on the model of LED display :
– our countdown clock panels are operated with a remote control, through a small LCD display, integrated in the panel, which display the menu of navigation
– our days without accident panels are also operated with the same system of remote control and LCD display, or we can propose you an option to parameter by Ethernet cable, through local network, by connecting to the display through its IP address, and update the information on a dedicated interface
– our LED sign with individually mounted diodes, are operated by dry contact (230V, 12V or 24V)
