LED Display FAQs

What’s LED?

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices, and are increasingly used for lighting. Introduced as a practical electronic component in 1962, early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness.
 

– An LED is a Light Emitting Diode, like an electronics diode it lets electricity flow in only one direction. The little wire encapsulated in the epoxy center emits light when electricity flows from the Cathode (positive lead) to the Anode (negative lead). Photons are then released to travel to your eye which are detected by your rods and cones and sent to your brain, no mater what size!! An LED can last from 11 years and longer, far out lasting a standard bulb so you see why we use them for Fiber Optics. Fine Pixel Pitch specially design the LED chips, which could improve the chip uniformity. And outsource the package production to the most reliable supplier, then LED lamp raw material quality secured.
 

What’s LED display? LED cabinet? LED module, LED pixels?

– LED display is usually composed of LED cabinets, which are composed of LED unit modules/panels. The LED display is the final completed product for advertising or information displaying, it was composed by a certain rows and lines of unit LED cabinet; the unit LED cabinet were composed by module certain quantity of LED modules, each LED module were composed by 16*16/16*8/8*8/4*4/1*1 LED pixels; each LED pixels were composed by 1R/2R/2R1G/2R1B/2R2G1B/2R1G1B/1R1G1B.
 

Fine Pixel Pitch has full range of pixels, which could satisfy all of LED display clients demands.
 

Our View on Viewing Angle

– Viewing Angle is the angle at which the LEDs brightness is halved. An LED is at full brightness when you look at it straight on – or dead center. If that level of brightness is halved by moving 25° from dead center, the viewing angle is considered to be double that number – 50°.
 

– Reading Angle is the angle at which a people can adequately read your LED message and, while typically greater than the viewing angle, varies depending on lighting circumstances and a sign’s environment.
 

-Fine Pixel Pitch LED displays will give you a Viewing Angle of up to a 120° horizontal (off to either side) x 60° vertical (looking up or down at the sign), which is easily among the best in the outdoor sign industry. Just something to keep in mind when you consider how wide an audience you want to reach with your LED sign.
 

What is Pixel?

– Definition: In digital imaging, a pixel (or picture element) is a single point in a raster image. The pixel is the smallest addressable screen element; it is the smallest unit of picture that can be controlled. Each pixel has its own address. The address of a pixel corresponds to its coordinates. Pixels are normally arranged in a two-dimensional grid, and are often represented using dots or squares. Each pixel is a sample of an original image; more samples typically provide more accurate representations of the original. The intensity of each pixel is variable. In color image systems, a color is typically represented by three, such as red, green, and blue.
 

Fine Pixel Pitch cares every pixel, we treat every pixel as the most critical unit of our quality, and it is the case that supports our worldwide fame.
 

What is Pitch?

– Pitch is the distance between each pixel on your sign. A pixel is a cluster of two, three or four LED lamps. The closer the pixels, the crisper and more lifelike your image will be. You can also treat pitch size as pixel size, just as how big the functional pixel size.
 

Fine Pixel Pitch has full range of pixel pitch from indoor P3 to outdoor P100. And we could specially design the customized pitch size, if your project needs.
 

What is Module?

– Module is a unit that composes of LED lamps, case, connections, PCB, mask and plastic housing, which make a relative function unit that could be lighten up and be controlled and tested by software.
 

– Fine Pixel Pitch developed micro-ventilation system, which could make the modules have much better heat dissipation, keep the modules working smoothly.
 

What is LED display Cabinet?

– LED display cabinet is composed of modules, which supported by an iron or aluminum frame. For outdoor cabinet, it could be made IP67 (front side), IP54 (back side). LED display cabinets could be designed various kinds’ style, such as rental, fixed installation, and curtain, strip and so on. The LED display cabinet size could be customized according to client’s request.

What is virtual pixel, real pixel?

– Usually, if your display has less than 50,000 pixels totally, we highly suggest you use virtual pixel. Real LED pixel is the physical LED pixel; virtual LED pixel is theoretically 4 times as real LED pixel. While it is just theoretically, actually, the real effect of the virtual pixel is not really 4 times better. It is only a much better, but not really can be 4 times better. When you LED display system is more than 512*320pixels, actually you do not need to use virtual pixel if you plan to use the whole LED display for one advertising contents, but if you plan to divide a big LED screen into small parts or small sections for many advertising contents, the virtual pixel is still very necessary and useful for you to achieve much better effect.
 

What is the advantage of LED virtual pixel?

– Virtual pixels are in a class of their own. Every Virtual pixel contains 2 Red lamps, 1 Blue LED and 1 Green LED. Each LED is spaced out evenly to provide an even higher degree of clarity. Virtual pixel provides more shades of colors due to the many different levels of intensity combinations. Virtual Modules provide brighter pictures and videos. Virtual pixels are perfect for outdoor use in any condition. They provide great visibility during day and night.
 

– Fine Pixel Pitch is an expert of virtual pixel; we supplied hundreds of virtual displays around the world. If you love it, feel free to contact us.
