What Is Outdoor LED Display?

An outdoor LED display, also known as an outdoor LED screen or outdoor LED sign, is a large-scale electronic display board designed for outdoor use. It consists of an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged closely together to form a vibrant and high-resolution display. Outdoor LED displays are commonly used for advertising, marketing, information dissemination, entertainment, and architectural enhancement in various outdoor settings.

These displays are specifically engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions, including sunlight, rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations. They are built with durable and weather-resistant materials to ensure reliable performance and longevity in outdoor environments.

Outdoor LED displays come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and configurations to suit different applications and requirements. They can range from small LED billboards installed on the sides of buildings to large-scale LED video walls erected in outdoor stadiums, public squares, and transportation hubs.

Key features of outdoor LED displays include:

1. High Brightness: Outdoor LED displays are equipped with high-brightness LEDs to ensure clear visibility even in bright sunlight. This allows them to deliver bright and vivid images and videos that capture the attention of passersby and audiences.
2. Weather Resistance: Outdoor LED displays are built to withstand exposure to various weather elements, including rain, snow, humidity, and temperature extremes. They are sealed with protective enclosures and treated with waterproof and anti-corrosion coatings to prevent damage from moisture and environmental factors.
3. Durability: Outdoor LED displays are constructed with robust materials, such as aluminum or steel, to withstand outdoor conditions and resist impact, vibration, and vandalism. They are designed for long-term outdoor use with minimal maintenance requirements.
4. Wide Viewing Angle: Outdoor LED displays offer wide viewing angles to ensure optimal visibility from different viewing positions and distances. This allows them to reach a larger audience and deliver content effectively to viewers across outdoor spaces.
5. Remote Management: Many outdoor LED displays feature remote management capabilities, allowing users to control and manage content remotely via a computer, smartphone, or dedicated control system. This enables easy content updates, scheduling, and monitoring of the display from anywhere.

What is the difference with Indoor LED Screen and outdoor led display

The main difference between indoor LED screens and outdoor LED displays lies in their design, functionality, and suitability for different environments.

Indoor LED screens are primarily designed for indoor use, with features optimized for indoor environments. These screens typically have medium brightness levels (ranging from 600 to 1200CD), wide viewing angles both horizontally and vertically (usually 140-160 degrees), precise color reproduction, lightweight construction (often less than 10kg per single panel), and higher pixel density. Indoor LED screens usually have an IP31 waterproof rating, require no glue on the module surface, and are commonly used in settings such as conference rooms, stages, airports/subways, and churches.

On the other hand, outdoor LED displays are specifically engineered to withstand outdoor conditions, with emphasis on waterproofing and high brightness levels. These displays have lower pixel densities (P16 led, P12, P10, P8, P6.67, P6, P5, P4, P3.91, P3, P2.5), allowing for greater visibility over longer distances. Outdoor LED screens typically feature brightness levels of 5500 to 8500cd per square meter and are designed to be visible even in direct sunlight. They often have an IP65 waterproof rating, utilize glue to withstand windy and rainy conditions, and are suitable for outdoor applications such as music festivals, sports events, highway billboards, and building decorations.

Additionally, outdoor displays can include transparent screens for short or long-distance viewing, with varying pixel pitches depending on the application. Grid screens, with a pixel pitch of over P30, are commonly used for building decorations.

In summary, while indoor LED screens prioritize color accuracy, wide viewing angles, and lightweight design for indoor environments, outdoor LED displays prioritize durability, high brightness, and weather resistance for outdoor applications over long distances.

All you must do is, you need to consider some points or features before buying an outdoor digital display screen according to your projects, such as resolution, pixel pitch, playback content, maintenance, and others. We are going to discuss some tips you should consider before buying an outdoor led display.

 •  1). Purpose:

For choosing an excellent outdoor led display, you need to know the purpose of led screen. You need to select it to the content you will display on the led, in the form of text or graphics.

Either aspect ratio should be 4:3 or the nearest 4:3. Otherwise, the accurate ideal ratio is 16:9, The cabinet for our conventional fixed outdoor screen is 960*960mm, rental screen cabinet is 500*500mm/500*1000mm, which can be combined into different sizes according to the site conditions.

 •  2). Visual Distance and Visual Angle:

To assure the long-distance visibility of an outer led screen panel, it needs to have ultra-high brightness and intense light. So that the content that you are playing on an exterior led panel is visible to the passersby from every angle.

The outdoor led screen should have an extensive viewing angle. It is the only way to display your content in the right colors and without any distortion in the image. Our outdoor led panel vertical angle of 160°, horizontal viewing angle of 140°.

 •  3). Brightness Level:

It is one of the most important steps of choosing the outdoor led because it will be affecting the passersby. Outdoor led panels with high contrast and high brightness will be best for you because, under the brightness of direct sunlight, the content on your led display needs to be highly visible.

According to the rule of thumb, your led display will not be visual under direct sunlight if its brightness is anywhere less than 2000 nits. If your advertising screen’s brightness is lesser than this, you can try to put it under shade.

The brightness of our outdoor rental screens is generally 3500-5000 nits, and the brightness of fixed screen is about 4500-8000 nits, choose the right ones according to different use environments.

 •  4). Design and Shape:

Outdoor led displays are available in standard designs and shapes. To attain the maximum visual effects, you can get a customized form according to the area they will be placed in and other related requirements. Because every business is a world, and it has different needs.

The led display has developed to today and has become more and more mature. The cabinet can be customized according to the special requirements of customers, such as triangles, trapezoids, circles, spheres, cylinders, hexagons, octagons, and cubes.

 •  5). Installation Condition:

Always keep in mind the installation conditions of your outdoor display screen. Always use industrial-grade integrated circuit chips with a temperature range of -40oC and 80oC. This temperature range is ideal for the outdoor digital display screen to perform the best at low temperatures.

It is to prevent the display from starting up in low-temperature conditions. Here is another tip for “ventilation equipment,” make it, so the internal temperature of the outdoor advertising screen remains between -10oC to 50oC.

Another option that can lower the temperature is to use a transparent screen, with a permeability of 80%, without considering the problem of heat dissipation. It is mainly used in the Middle East or Central Asia.

 •  6). Resolution:

The resolution of the outdoor led screens needs to be selected according to the requirements of your usage. There is a misconception that the higher the resolution better will be the display. People need to understand that higher resolution means multiple leds in one place.

More leds means higher cost and maintenance probability, so the right one is the best.

P2.5 have 160,000 pixels per sqm;
P3.0 have 105,680 pixels per sqm;
P4.0 have 61,500 pixels per sqm;
P5.0 have 40,000 pixels per sqm;
P6.7 have 22,500 pixels per sqm;
P8.0 have 15.625 pixels per sqm;

 •  8). Protection Against Weather Conditions:

During the rainy season or any other such weather, the water seeps through outdoor led panels it can damage the board or destroy it. To save your led advertising panels from this, ask your service provider to install a closed-loop circulation system to protect the exterior led display from moisture and water.

Another option for this problem is to go for a high-rated IP (Ingress Protection) led screen. It is a rating that measures protection against solid object contact and water resistance.

You can choose your led display according to the weather conditions of your area. By making this choice appropriately, you will have peace of mind that your led display will not be affected by direct sunlight, snow, or other weather conditions.

 •  9). LED Control (Manual & Automatic):

A good quality led panel has high brightness, and it allows manual as well as automatic control system. It can adjust the brightness according to the light in each part of the day. It is an outstanding energy-saving feature, plus it does not cause any problem to the passersby with its high brightness at night.

And sometimes, when the light conditions are fluctuating, like it is a rainy day and the lighting level is changing, you will have peace of mind that your audience will be viewing the best brightness level according to the situation.

We most often use the novastar control system to adjust the brightness automatically or regularly according to the environmental conditions to avoid light pollution.
