LED is short for light-emiting diode. LED screens are made from many smaller light emitting diodes placed close together. Each LED emits three colors – Red, Green and Blue – which together light up as needed to create a range of colors. The colors combine to create an image.
Pixel is the diminutive for picture element. Pixels are points of light that illuminate at the same time to form letters, words, animations and videos. A pixel can be formed of one or more LEDs of the same color or of several colors. A pixel is the smallest element of a LED screen (or LED wall) that can be individually monitored. It can be switched off or switched on at different intensity levels.
While traditional LCD screens are typically used inside, LEDs are effective in practically any environment. They are designed to remain bright and visible even under direct sunlight and withstand most weather conditions. Unlike LCD screens, they are extremely durable and can be used for projects on a much larger scale.
Choosing a screen is difficult because many factors need to be taken into account. Typically screens with smaller pixel pitches are superior indoors, while those with larger are better outside. We offer consultancy to help you reach a decision, so please reach out to us.
Video projectors often seem like an easier and cheaper solution, but they dont display the same quality image, the same brightness and can’t adapt to any context like innovative LED displays do. To understand better those differences and the assets of LED displays, learn more on the article.
