Misunderstanding 1: LED displays consume a lot of power and are not environmentally friendly
1). Explanation of misunderstanding
There is a misunderstanding in society that LED displays must be high-energy-consuming products due to their high brightness and large-area display characteristics, which are not conducive to environmental protection.
This concept may be due to a lack of understanding of the characteristics of LED technology and its energy efficiency.
2). The truth
2.1). The energy-saving principle of LED (light-emitting diode) technology:
- Low operating voltage:
LED is a semiconductor device that can directly convert electrical energy into light energy.
Its operating voltage is much lower than that of traditional lighting equipment such as incandescent lamps or fluorescent lamps, which means that at the same brightness, LED consumes less electrical energy.
- High luminous efficiency:
The luminous efficiency (i.e., luminous efficiency) of LED is much higher than that of traditional light sources.
The luminous efficiency of modern LED display screens has reached or exceeded 100 lumens/watt, which means that LED consumes less electrical energy when producing the same luminous flux.
- Adjustable brightness:
LED display screens usually have a brightness adjustment function, which can adjust the brightness according to ambient light or actual needs, further saving energy.
For example, at night or in a dimly lit indoor environment, the brightness of the LED display screen can be appropriately reduced to reduce energy consumption.
2.2). Data support
According to multiple studies and actual application cases, LED display screens perform well in terms of energy consumption. For example, compared with traditional projection technology, LED display screens can reduce energy consumption by 30%-50% at the same brightness.
Compared with traditional flat panel display technologies such as LCD (liquid crystal display) and PDP (plasma display), the energy consumption advantage of LED display screens is more obvious, especially in large-size and high-resolution application scenarios.
3). Environmental advantages of LED display screens
Recyclability: The main materials of LED display screens include LED chips, circuit boards, shells, etc., most of which have good recyclability. With the improvement of environmental awareness and the advancement of recycling technology, the disposal of LED display screens will be more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
Mercury-free and lead-free design: LED light sources do not contain harmful substances such as mercury and lead, which reduces the potential harm to the environment and human body during production and use. In contrast, traditional lighting equipment such as fluorescent lamps often contain these harmful substances.
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions: Because LED display screens have significant energy-saving advantages, they can significantly reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions during use. This is of great significance for alleviating global warming, achieving a low-carbon economy and sustainable development.
Misunderstanding 2: LED display screens have low resolution and poor picture quality
1). Misunderstanding explanation
Some people believe that due to the relatively large pixel pitch of LED display screens, especially in traditional large-screen applications, it is difficult to achieve high-definition or even ultra-high-definition display effects, and thus believe that its picture quality is poor.
2). Technical analysis
2.1). Small pitch LED and Micro LED technology:
With the continuous advancement of technology, the LED display industry has introduced a variety of new technologies to deal with the problems of large pixel pitch and low resolution.
Among them, small-pitch LED (such as P2, P1.5, etc.) and Micro LED technology are particularly eye-catching. These technologies achieve higher resolution and finer display effects by greatly reducing the package size and pixel pitch of LED chips.
The pixel pitch of small-pitch LED can reach the millimeter level or even the sub-millimeter level, while Micro LED pushes the pixel pitch to the micron level, making ultra-high-definition display possible.
3). Application examples
