Outdoor LED display always attract people to stop and watch, brings huge advertising benefits, gorgeous picture performance and bright colors can make the city more beautiful. This article introduces various solutions and using details of outdoor LED display, to answer your potential questions and provide better guidance.
What is Outdoor LED Display?
Outdoor LED display refers to an electronic device that is installed in an outdoor environment and uses light-emitting diode (LED) technology to display images, text, video and other content. It usually has the characteristics of high brightness, water and dust resistance, strong weather resistance and so on. Usually the outdoor LED display will be fixed in one place and will not move after installation.
LED Display Components
The main components of the outdoor LED display include:
● LED module: The core component, composed of lamp beads, PCB board and plastic shell, is responsible for displaying images and text.
● Control system: Includes sending card, receiving card and control software for processing and transmitting content.
● Power supply system: Provides stable power for the display components through the switching power supply. (Usually need to be prepared locally by the customer)
● Cabinet frame: Waterproof and dust-proof design, used to protect the internal components, suitable for outdoor environment.
● Heat dissipation system: Use fans or heat sinks to ensure normal operation at high temperatures.
● Signal transmission system: such as data cable, network cable or optical fiber, used for the transmission of signal source content.
● Installation structure: Bearing bracket or frame which ensure stable installation of equipment.
Main Applications
Outdoor LED display is widely used, mainly covering the following application scenarios.
● Advertising marketing: Set in the external walls of shopping malls, commercial streets, bus stops, etc., attract attention, enhance brand awareness and sales.
● Public information dissemination: City information such as weather, traffic, emergency notice is displayed, mostly in squares, stations, airports and other areas.
● Live events: Provide scores, live images and interactive functions for the stadium to optimize the spectator experience.

The use of outdoor LED displays in these scenes strengthens the efficiency of information dissemination, while beautifying the visual content of the city.
Why do you need an outdoor LED display?
Landmark buildings
Outdoor LED displays can be used as part of landmark buildings to attract attention, convey information and enhance the image of the city. It can not only display advertising content, but also be used to publish public information, cultural publicity and urban activities, etc., becoming a unique highlight and landmark presence in the city. A landmark building often needs a large area of outdoor LED display to shine.
Advertising Revenue
The advertising revenue of outdoor LED displays mainly comes from its high exposure rate and wide audience coverage. By advertising in high-traffic areas, companies can quickly capture the attention of target customers, thereby increasing brand awareness and product sales. In addition, the dynamic display effect and high-definition picture quality of the LED display also make the advertising content more attractive, further improving the communication effect of the advertisement.
Compared to Traditional Paper Media
Compared with traditional paper media, outdoor LED display has the following advantages:
● Strong dynamic effect: can play video, animation and text, more attractive, beyond the limitations of static display of paper media.
● Flexible real-time updates: Digital control allows the content to be modified at any time to adapt to different needs, while the paper media cannot be changed once it is printed.
● Environmental protection: significantly reduce paper use, save resources; Print media consumes a lot of raw materials.
● Bright and clear: clear and easy to read day and night, suitable for various light environments; Paper media are more affected by light.
● Interactive function: Support touch or audience interaction, improve engagement, paper media lack this function.
● Cost optimization: Although the upfront investment is high, the long service life can reduce the overall cost.
In general, LED displays have great advantages in the field of communication efficiency, flexibility of use and sustainable development.
How to Choose Pixel Pitch, Size and Brightness?
Pixel Pitch
Pixel pith refers to the distance between LED beads, usually in millimeters. The smaller the pitch, the higher the resolution of the display, the clearer the picture, but the cost will be higher.
If the viewing distance is far (such as large squares, outdoor billboards), you can choose a larger pixel pitch (such as P8, P10).
If the viewing distance is close (such as the entrance of the mall, the stage background), you need to choose a smaller pixel pitch (such as P2.5, P4).
size
The size of the outdoor LED display needs to be determined according to the space size of the installation location and the viewing Angle range of the audience.
In large outdoor venues, displays often need to be made larger to attract the attention of distant viewers.
Need to pay attention to proportion coordination to ensure that the screen content can be clearly presented in different sizes.
Quick recommended sizes: 5x3m, 6x3m, 6x4m, 7x5m, 8x5m, 9x6m, 10x7m, 12x8m, etc.
Brightness
Outdoor LED displays need high enough brightness to ensure that they are still visible in direct sunlight.
Usually the brightness of the outdoor screen is between 5000-7000cd/m², and the appropriate brightness is selected according to the lighting condition of the installation site. The stronger the sunlight is, the higher brightness is required. Nowadays we can make super high brightness outdoor LED screen from 8,000nits to 12,000nits brightness as maximum.
At the same time, we provide auto brightness sensor which supports automatic brightness adjustment to avoid excessive glare at night.
How to know the quality of one outdoor LED screen?
Cabinet Material
The outdoor LED display has three types of cabinets:
Iron cabinet
The iron cabinet using metal plate processing technology, with iron as the main raw material and a rust-proof spray coating on the surface.
● Advantages: Highly customizable to meet the needs of different screen sizes.
● Disadvantages: heavy(40kg/sqm), thick (12~14cm thickness), larger in size, not good appearance.
Die-cast aluminum cabinet
Formed by die-cast aluminum molds, with aluminum and magnesium as the main raw materials, featuring high-precision, high-density rust-proof spray coating, providing excellent rust resistance.
●Advantages: Light weight (28kg/sqm), thin (10cm thickness), high hardness, stronger load-bearing capacity, good heat dissipation, and better appearance.
●Disadvantages: Sizes are often limited to a few fixed dimensions, and the price is slightly higher.
CNC profile cabinet
With each component made from die-cast aluminum molds and then assembled together, featuring high-precision, high-density rust-proof spray coating, providing excellent rust resistance.
●Advantages: Lighter (22kg/sqm), thinner (8cm thickness), high hardness, strong load-bearing capacity, multiple functions, and higher protection level.
●Disadvantages: Sizes are often limited to a few fixed dimensions, and the price is relatively high.
When we choose which cabinet is more appropriate, we need to consider about the screen size, site installation environment and other requirements.
Power Supply
The quality of the power supply determines the power operation safety and power use efficiency of the LED display. LEDFUL main cooperation brands are Meanwell, G-energy, Nandian, Huayun, Chuanglian, Rongdian, etc. These different brands of power supply sizes are different, suitable for our different cabinet design. The power supplies can be used for 110V, 220V or 110~220V.
Cables and Interfaces
The use of different wires and interfaces inside the cabinet may also cause quality differences. Low quality ribbon cable such as gray color ribbon cable, the transmission signal rate is slightly lower, high quality ribbon cable such as colorful ribbon cable can be more stable and fast. LEDFUL uniformly uses colorful ribbon cables, even at a higher material cost. The metal material inside the interface will also affect the signal transmission of the LED display, and generally gold-plated material will be better, what LEDFUL uses just like it.
How to install outdoor LED screen?
Pole Standing installation
This method requires building a solid foundation on the ground, usually a concrete base, and then install the pole on the foundation. An LED display is installed on the upper part of the column. This method is suitable for locations with good ground conditions that require long-term fixation.
Roof Top Installation
Make and install the steel structure on the roof of a building, and then fix the LED screen on the structure. This installation way is suitable for situations that require a higher perspective. When installing, the load-bearing capacity of the roof and windproof measures need to be considered.
In very rare cases, we will consider hoisting installation, by adding lifting rings on top of the cabinets and hanging it with steel wire ropes from the ceiling or extended structures of the building.
When choosing a specific installation method, factors such as the on-site environment, screen size, audience perspective, and safety need to be considered. Ensure that the installation is stable and secure.
How to display 3D Videos on Outdoor LED Screen?
LED display requirements
In fact, any LED display can play naked-eye 3D videos, but the better the quality of the LED display, the better the effect of displaying 3D videos.
● High-definition resolution: the higher the screen resolution, the better the display effect of 3D videos.
● Refresh rate: it is recommended to reach at least 7680Hz, so that whether people observe with the naked eye or shoot with a phone/camera, the LED display will have a stunning effect.
● 90° right angle or curved right angle: Flat screens can also display 3D effect videos, but LED displays with right angles or curved right angles will make 3D displays more three-dimensional, with a greater sense of depth, and the effect will be more realistic.
Content Preparation
3D videos are key, and usually require the use of professional software to create and export in a supported 3D format, which often necessitates professionals or companies to produce the desired 3D content.
Viewing Angle
3D videos on LED displays often have an optimal viewing angle. During the production of 3D videos, the best viewing angle is established based on the size of the LED display, its orientation, and the direction of the main audience, which is often at a right angle opposite direction.
LEDFUL provides one-stop solution for outdoor 3D LED displays, preparing professional outdoor LED displays as well as the 3D videos you want to showcase, along with all other equipment and accessories.
How to Control Outdoor LED Screen
Actually the red chip only needs 2.8V power to light up, green chip needs 3.8V, blue chip needs 3.8V. But traditional technology can't transfer the power accurately, it only transfer the power red chip - 5V, green chip - 5V, blue chip - 5V, so a lot of electricity is wasted. Then one power supply is 5V*60A= 300W.
Reducing Operating Costs: Reduced power supply leads to lower overall screen power consumption, requiring less electricity, saving on electricity bills; the longer the screen is used, the more electricity costs are saved, greatly reducing operating costs.
Longer Lifetime: The reduction in power consumption will also let the LED display generate less heat, the LED display has a longer service life accordingly.
More Environmentally Friendly: Especially in some countries and areas with strict environmental protection policies, the common cathode energy-saving solution is more likely to obtain project approval.
