The small pixel pitch LED display has resolved the issue of image quality. These displays taken the image quality to the next level. In addition, they have shortened the viewing distance. As a result, there is a high demand for these display screens. In this post, we will discuss small pitch LED displays.
What is a Small Pixel Pitch LED Display?
A small pixel pitch LED display is a type of LED display that features a very close distance between two adjacent LEDs. We put pixel pitches types below 2 mm into this category:
- P2
- P1.86
- P1.538
- P1.25
- P0.9
In the future, we may see LED displays with pixel pitches lower than these. A small pitch LED display features higher resolution per unit area. Due to these, it can show high-definition graphic images and videos.
Generally, these small pixel pitch LED screens can achieve pixel-to-pixel showing. It means all the resolutions on the control PC can correspond to that on the LED screen. So, the display effect would be with higher sharpness.
Small pitch LED screens are entirely seamless. We can enjoy natural and accurate colors on them. Furthermore, they have enhanced our visual experience.
How can you Choose the Best Small Pixel Pitch LED Display?
If you are looking for the right small pixel pitch LED screen, here are certain factors you need to consider:
- Overall project budget
- Maintenance cost
- Setup space
- Transmission compatibility
- Fill factor
Overall project budget:
There are many LED lamp beads in each unit area. With the increase in number, there is usually an increased need for LED lamps. It makes it a bit costly. As the fine pitch LED display is for indoor use, they need low brightness. Thus, the power consumption of these displays is not very high. Generally, the maximum power consumption is about 500 watts per square meter. It is pretty low compared to the outdoor LED screens.
Maintenance cost:
The overall budget is not only the factor we need to consider. For small pitch LED screens, maintenance is also a big issue.
We know that these screens have small pixel pitches. We can easily damage the LED lamps around the corners while installing them. There can be bumps or knocks during this procedure. Due to these, the copper foil on PCB can fall easily.
Its maintenance cost is much higher than outdoor types. It is because repairing small pitch LED displays is very difficult. It is challenging and burdensome. For example, it can take 1-2 hours for a specialized engineer to fix only one piece of LED module.
So, we suggest you pay attention to the LED modules during the installation. Only a small mistake can damage an LED module. And it takes much time to fix. You even need to send it back to the supplier to make it.
Setup space:
You have to consider the setup space for fine pitch LED displays seriously. You have to see what will be the viewing distance. You have to finalize first the installation space and then buy the screen. The area can be from several square meters to dozens of square meters. The typical sizes can be:
- W 3.2 x H 1.92 m
- W 5.12 x H 2.88 m
Transmission compatibility:
Transmission equipment is of great concern. If you want your display to work efficiently, you need good transmission equipment.
Here is an example of a monitoring system for security applications. It uses signal transmission in the following forms:
- 1080P
- 1080I
- 720P
- H.264
- D1 etc.
Small pixel LED screens do not support all. It only supports a few. Hence, you should know there is a controller to support the formats.
Fill factor:
LED display comprises dots. The image becomes incomplete when you get closer to the screen. There will be non-uniformity in the brightness. Sometimes, even a single dot can become ten times.
It tends to impact visibility. It will cause serious eye issues. So, for this, we have to consider the fill factor. We have to avoid problems that affect the human eye. So, according to the experts, the fill factor should be more than 50%.
Advantages of Small Pixel Pitch LED Displays:
These LED display screens have the following advantages:
- High resolution
- Seamless splicing and lightweight
- High gray level
- High refresh rate
- Simple structure and less space
High resolution:
This feature is one characteristic of small pitch LED displays. It has increased the visual quality. Small pitch LED screens can offer high graphics, videos, and a three-dimensional experience. There can be 4K resolution or at least full HD for them.
For 4K, the resolution is 3840 x 2160. For full HD, it can be 1920 x 1080. For example, we have a 5.12 x 2.88 m size LED display screen. And the client says that it needs a 4K resolution. Then, we need to use P1.25. The total resolution will be 4096 x 2304 pixels.
Seamless splicing and lightweight:
For the LCD video wall, there is a splicing seam after installation. But, small pitch LED displays have seamless splicing. Another advantage of these LED screens is that they are lightweight and thin. Their thickness can be as thin as 6 cm. And it weighs less than 7 kg for a 640 x 480 mm panel. So, we can replace LCD video wall with small pitch LED display.
High gray level:
Even when the brightness of the small pitch LED displays is low, their grayscale is perfect. As a result, the image level of the screen is high. In addition, it allows the screen to show more image details.
High refresh rate:
Small pitch LED displays have high contrast ratio and refresh rate. They also offer faster response time. A high refresh rate means that there is stable image capture. There is no flickering. The refresh rate should be at least 3,840 Hz for fine pitch LED displays. And we can also make it 7,680 Hz.
We use mostly these LED screens in studio or control room. It is because there are many cameras or other related equipment for shooting. Thus, these screens should have a high refresh rate. In this way, there will be no line when shooting.
Simple structure and less space:
There is no need for a complicated structure to install small pixel pitch LED screens. You will only need a simple bracket to support the screen. And as we know that these screens are front service solutions. Thus, they don’t need much space. We can easily mount the screens on the walls.
Conclusion:
In this article, we briefly take about small pixel pitch LED displays and their benefits. I hope you can get some more deep understanding about this topic.
