Common types and sizes of sphere LED displays:
Various types of sphere screens are available, primarily based on their shapes. In this section, I will talk about these common types and their sizes.
Watermelon ball screen:
We can say it is the earliest circular LED display in the market. In this screen, we arrange the printed circuit boards PCBs in a watermelon shape. As a result, this ball screen has a direct-viewing structure. And this type of sphere display does not need many kinds of PCBs.
This watermelon-shaped screen offers excellent creativity and flexibility to display different contents. Many luxurious hotels, malls, and events use this type of display to attract people. For example, you can efficiently show the globe map on this screen in 3D dimensions. But you can only show it in 2D effects on an average rectangular screen.
But, this watermelon ball screen also has a displaying disadvantage. Its north and south pole cannot show images properly. It means it is difficult to view the top and bottom areas of the screen. As a result, it can lead to severe distortion or less utilization. This problem happens because pixels show in circles at the north and south poles of the screen.
Triangle ball screen:
This type of sphere screen uses plane triangle printed circuit boards PCBs. And there are various kinds of PCBs needed for this ball screen. Due to its display and shape, we also call it a football screen. The north and south poles can display the content normally on this screen. Thus, it eliminates the issue that the watermelon ball screen has.
But the triangle ball screen has the following shortcomings:
- There are many kinds of PCBs needed for this ball screen.
- The pixel pitch of this screen cannot be too small.
- It also needs complex software programming.
Six sides ball screen:
This type of sphere screen consists of quadrangle printed circuit boards PCBs. It requires fewer kinds of PCBs than the triangle ball screen. Besides, it is also quite similar to a plane screen in pixel configuration. This ball screen is easy to install and disassemble.
You can use one video source to play one type of content. Or you can use six video sources and play six different types of content. In short, this ball screen is better than the above ones.
Let me explain the shape of this ball screen with an example. For instance, we have a 1.5m diameter LED sphere. First, we split this sphere into six planes of the same size. And then, we split each plane into four panels with the same dimension. As a result, we have 24 panels in this 1.5m diameter LED sphere. In the end, we assemble these panels into a six-sided ball screen.
Trapezoid LED display:
This type of sphere screen has a trapezoidal LED display module. It has clear and continuous visuals through the seamless connection of modules. It has indoor and outdoor types:
Indoor LED sphere screen:
