Introduction
As an outstanding representative of the new generation of display technology, the transparent LED display is gradually changing our traditional perception of the display with its unique transparency and “invisible” function.
The transparent LED display can not only achieve high-definition and bright image display but also integrate into various scenes without destroying the original environmental beauty, bringing unprecedented visual experience to the audience. So, how does the transparent LED display achieve this “invisible” function?
1. Introduction to the basic principles of transparent LED display
The uniqueness of the transparent LED display lies in that through precise circuit design and special arrangement of lamp beads; the screen can maintain a high degree of transparency while displaying content.
Specifically, the LED lamp beads in the transparent LED display are not closely arranged but distributed according to a certain spacing and pattern so that enough space can be left between the lamp beads so that light can penetrate the screen.
At the same time, the circuit design also uses transparent wires or thin wires to connect, which further reduces the screen’s obstruction of light, thereby achieving a transparent effect.
When the LED lamp beads emit light, they illuminate the surrounding transparent areas to form bright display points, while the unilluminated areas remain transparent, allowing the observer to see the scenery behind the screen at the same time.
Another key element of the transparent LED display is the use of transparent materials. These materials usually include glass or highly transparent plastics, etc., which serve as display media and allow light to pass through the screen, achieving a physical transparent effect.
In the structure of the transparent LED display, the transparent material plays the role of carrying and supporting the LED lamp beads and circuits. Specifically, the transparent material is processed into a specific shape and size to accommodate the arrangement of the LED lamp beads and the layout of the circuit.
Then, the LED lamp beads and circuits are precisely mounted on the transparent material to form a complete display unit. These display units are then combined in a certain way to form the entire transparent LED display.
The selection and processing of transparent materials are crucial to the performance and appearance of transparent LED displays.
High-quality transparent materials should have a high degree of transparency, good weather resistance, and mechanical strength to ensure that the screen can maintain a clear display effect and stable performance during long-term use.
At the same time, the processing and installation of transparent materials also require precise control and exquisite craftsmanship to ensure the overall quality and aesthetics of the screen.
2. Specific ways for transparent LED displays to achieve the "invisible" function
1). Screen structure
The “invisible” function of the transparent LED display is actually largely due to its ingenious screen structure. Its light bar design is not casually placed. There is a gap between the light bars, just like leaving an exclusive channel for light, so that light can pass through the screen unimpeded so that the “transparent” effect comes out!
Let’s talk about the arrangement of the lamp beads, which is simply too clever! The lamp beads are designed to be like a blind structure, not densely packed together, but with a certain interval and regularity.
The advantage of this design is that it can reduce the obstruction of the structural components to the line of sight so that when you look at the screen, it feels like looking at the air, and the invisible effect is great!
In addition, the power supply and wiring components of the transparent LED display are cleverly hidden in the dedicated card box in the middle. In this way, the back looks clean and tidy, without those messy wire ends to mess up, and the invisible effect is naturally better!
2). Screen material
Speaking of screen material, it is even more powerful for a transparent LED display to achieve an invisible function. Did you know? The transparent LED display is made of two ultra-thin transparent substrates, just like two transparent pieces of paper.
Then, ITO material is printed on these two “paper sheets” to form a circuit, and then aligned and pressed, and liquid crystal is injected. After a series of processes, a transparent display panel is formed.
Don’t forget the optical devices such as polarizers! They are like the “beauticians” of the screen, making the screen look more transparent and more beautiful through functions such as filtering.
When the light passes through these optical devices, it is like passing through a layer of “beauty filter,” and the effect is naturally better!
3). Side-lighting technology
Finally, we have to mention the side-lighting technology. This technology is the “secret weapon” for transparent LED display screens to achieve the invisible function.
Some transparent LED display screens use this technology to make the light emission direction of the lamp beads parallel to the screen surface. In this way, when viewed from the front, the side area of the light bar is much smaller and will not block your sight.
The transparent LED display screen uses side-lighting technology to look like a piece of transparent glass. The lamp beads are hidden on the side, and the light is emitted from the side and propagates parallel to the screen surface.
The advantage of this design is that the transparency of the screen is improved, and the displayed image is more delicate and realistic. Moreover, because the side of the lamp beads are cleverly hidden, the invisible effect is even better!
In general, the reason why the transparent LED display can achieve the “invisible” function is all due to these clever screen structures, screen materials, and side-lighting technology!
3. Application advantages of the "invisible" function of transparent LED display screens
1). Breaking through traditional limitations
The invisible function of transparent LED display screens is simply a breath of fresh air in the architectural design industry! Traditional display screens often impose considerable restrictions on the appearance of buildings due to their large size and opacity.
But transparent LED display screens are different. They are like magical pieces of glass that can display content without affecting the transparency of the building. In this way, architects can be more creative and design truly transparent and gorgeous three-dimensional architectural beauty.
When the audience walks into such a building, it is like being in a dream world, feeling unprecedented visual enjoyment.
2). Multi-scenario adaptability
The invisible function of the transparent LED display screen makes it a “master key” in many scenarios. Imagine that in smart cities and smart buildings, we need to display various information, but we don’t want to block the beautiful city scenery or building appearance.
At this time, the transparent LED display comes in handy! It can display content while maintaining a wide field of vision, making the city smarter and more beautiful.
Not only that, the transparent LED display also shines in new display fields such as automobiles and aviation. In the car, it can be used as the display part of the car window, which does not affect the driving field of vision and provides rich driving information.
