Our Academy section is designed to explain the essential topics about LED displays in a clear and easy way. From selecting the right LED display to understanding the technology behind it, we’ve got you covered. Explore the FAQ below to get all the key answers you need, including our cutting-edge Ecoactive Nanotechnology, which sets 375LED apart in the industry.At 375 LED, we believe in making LED technology simple and accessible for.

There are four main types of LEDs, each suited to different applications:

  • DIP (Dual In-Line Package): This traditional type of LED is known for its durability and is often used in outdoor displays where brightness is key. It’s perfect for large-scale projects like billboards where long-distance viewing is required.
  • Example: Our outdoor billboards feature DIP technology for high visibility, even in harsh weather conditions.
  • SMD (Surface-Mount Device): SMD LEDs are smaller, compact, and offer excellent image quality. They are ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings that require high resolution, such as in retail stores or concert venues.
  • Example: 375LED’s indoor video walls use SMD technology to deliver sharp and vibrant visuals.
  • COB (Chip on Board): COB LEDs provide greater brightness and better heat dissipation, making them perfect for large projects requiring intense light, like outdoor advertising or event displays.
  • Example: We use COB technology in our high-brightness displays for events that require vivid, bright visuals for long periods.
  • GOB (Glue on Board): GOB technology involves applying a protective glue layer over the LEDs, increasing durability by preventing damage from dust, moisture, or impact.
  • Example: Our GOB-enhanced screens are ideal for high-traffic areas, ensuring the LEDs remain protected from external forces and wear.

Choosing the right LED display depends on several factors:

  • Indoor or Outdoor Use: For outdoor projects, consider brightness and weatherproofing. Our outdoor LED screens are IP65-rated, making them weatherproof, and their brightness levels ensure visibility in sunlight. For indoor displays, the focus shifts to resolution and color quality.
  • Example: For indoor retail displays, our SMD LEDs provide excellent resolution and color vibrancy, perfect for high-quality video and images.
  • Viewing Distance: The closer the audience, the smaller the pixel pitch should be for sharper image quality. For example, a small pixel pitch (like 1.9mm or 1.2 mm) is great for close-up viewing in trade shows or retail stores, while a larger pixel pitch (like 8mm or 10 mm ) works well for stadiums or large public spaces.
  • Example: Our pixel pitch options range from ultra-fine for close-up visuals to larger pixel pitches for long-distance displays, ensuring you get the perfect match for your needs.
  • Brightness Needs: Outdoor environments need higher brightness levels, usually 5,000 nits or more, while indoor displays require less (800-1,500 nits).
  • Example: Our outdoor billboards are designed with more than from  5,500 nits up to a staggering 13.000 nit in the ultra bright option  to stay bright and clear, even in direct sunlight.

Pixel pitch refers to the distance between the center of one pixel to the center of the next. It determines how sharp and detailed your display will appear.

  • Smaller Pixel Pitch (e.g., 1.5mm): The smaller the pitch, the higher the resolution. This is ideal for close-up viewing where every detail matters, like in retail displays or trade show booths.
  • Example: Our 1.5mm pixel pitch displays offer ultra-high resolution, perfect for delivering fine details and text.
  • Larger Pixel Pitch (e.g., 10mm): Larger pitches are suitable for long-distance viewing, like stadiums or large outdoor displays, where people are far from the screen.
  • Example: Our stadium displays use larger pixel pitches to deliver clear, bright images visible to spectators from a distance.
  1. What do IP ratings mean, and why are they important for LED displays?

IP ratings tell you how well your LED display is protected from dust and water. The higher the rating, the better the protection.

  • IP65: Fully protected against dust and capable of withstanding water jets, making it ideal for outdoor installations where weather can be unpredictable.
  • Example: Our IP65-rated outdoor screens are designed to endure rain, dust, and extreme temperatures.
  • IP54: Offers protection from limited dust and water splashes. It’s typically used in semi-outdoor or covered environments where some weather exposure may occur.
  • Example: Our semi-outdoor screens, used in places like stadium tunnels, are IP54-rated for light exposure.
  • IP45: Limited protection against dust and water spray from any direction. This is most suitable for indoor displays where occasional exposure to moisture might happen, like shopping centers or public spaces.
  • Example: Our IP45 displays are perfect for indoor malls where there’s a need for occasional cleaning or humidity control.

Brightness is measured in nits, and the right brightness level depends on the display’s location:

  • Indoor Displays: Typically, 800 to 1,500 nits are enough for most indoor applications. Our indoor retail displays use around 1,200 nits to ensure vivid colors and clear images, even in brightly lit environments.
  • Outdoor Displays: For outdoor setups, at least 5,000 nits are needed to ensure visibility under direct sunlight. Our outdoor billboards, which use over 5,500 nits, ensure that your content is always visible no matter the lighting conditions.
  1. What should I consider when looking at LED display resolution?

Resolution is directly related to the pixel pitch and the distance from which the display will be viewed. For up-close viewing, you need higher resolution; for long-distance viewing, lower resolution will suffice.

  • Smaller Pixel Pitch for High Resolution: If your display will be viewed up close, like in retail stores or trade shows, a smaller pixel pitch will give you sharper and clearer visuals.
  • Example: Our 1.9mm pixel pitch displays are ideal for close-range viewing, delivering crisp images and high resolution.
  • Larger Pixel Pitch for Distance: For long-distance viewing, like outdoor advertising, a larger pixel pitch provides a clear image without requiring an expensive, high-resolution screen.
  • Example: Our 10mm pixel pitch screens are used in stadiums and large venues to provide excellent visibility from far away.

Maintenance is key to ensuring long-term performance of your LED display:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe down the screen to remove dust and grime, especially for outdoor displays that are exposed to the elements. This ensures your image remains bright and clear.
  • Example: Our outdoor LED screens are built for easy maintenance, with weatherproofing that keeps out most dust and dirt.
  • Check Connections: Regularly inspect the power and signal connections to ensure that all components are working properly.
  • Example: Our display systems are designed for simple access to power and signal connections, making it easy to perform regular checks.
  • Weatherproofing: If you’re using outdoor displays, check the seals and protective layers regularly to make sure they are intact. This prevents water and dust from entering the display and causing damage.

LED displays are highly energy-efficient compared to older technologies, helping you save on power costs:

  • Lower Power Consumption: LED displays consume less power while delivering brighter, clearer visuals. Our 375LED products are designed to use up to 30% less energy compared to traditional display technologies.
  • Ecoactive Nanotechnology: Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond just energy savings. Ecoactive Nanotechnology from 375LED is incorporated into many of our displays to actively reduce energy consumption and lower environmental impact. This makes our products ideal for businesses seeking greener solutions without sacrificing performance.
  • Example: Our ecoactive outdoor billboards combine high brightness with energy efficiency, delivering the best of both worlds.
  • Refresh Rate: This is how many times per second the display refreshes the image, measured in Hertz (Hz). A higher refresh rate (e.g., 3840Hz) provides smoother video and reduces flickering, especially in fast-paced environments like live sports or concerts.
  • Frame Rate: This refers to how many frames per second (fps) the content you’re showing on the display is being delivered. Higher frame rates (e.g., 60fps) result in smoother video playback.

Why it matters:

For fast-moving content like live broadcasts, sports, or event screens, having a high refresh rate ensures that viewers see smooth motion without flicker or delay.

Transparent LED displays allow you to see through the screen, making them perfect for applications like storefront windows or glass facades. They create eye-catching visuals while still allowing natural light or a view through the display. However, there’s a trade-off: the transparency can reduce contrast, so the image may not be as vibrant as on non-transparent screens.

  • Where they’re used: Transparent LED screens are great for retail stores, museums, and offices that want to display dynamic content without blocking the view.

Contrast trade-off: While transparent LEDs allow for visual transparency, they tend to have lower contrast, so the colors might not “pop” as much as on solid LED displays.
