Introduction
In the field of billboard production, the dot pitch of LED display screen is one of the important factors affecting cost. Dot pitch is the center distance between LED lamp beads, usually expressed as “P” plus a number, such as P6 for 6mm dot pitch and P10 for 10mm dot pitch.
So which of the two best-selling pitches for outdoor advertising, P6 and P10, is more cost-effective?
1. What is the relationship between dot pitch and cost?
Dot pitch is an important technical parameter of LED display screens. It refers to the distance between the centres of two adjacent LED lamp beads, usually in millimetres (mm). Dot pitch determines the number of pixels per unit area, that is, pixel density.
The smaller the dot pitch, the more LED lamp beads can be accommodated on the same area of the display screen, thereby improving the pixel density and the clarity of the image display.
In general, there is a positive correlation between dot pitch and cost. The smaller the dot pitch, the higher the pixel density per unit area and the clearer the image display, but it also means an increase in raw material costs and manufacturing costs.
Therefore, when choosing an LED display, it is necessary to weigh the relationship between dot pitch and cost based on actual needs and budget.
2. Cost comparison of P6 and P10 dot pitch
When comparing the dot pitch cost of P6 and P10 LED displays, the difference between the two is not that big, and each has its own applicable occasions, so we don’t need to overemphasize which one has a higher or lower cost.
Simply put, the dot pitch of the P6 LED display is 6 mm, while the dot pitch of the P10 is 10 mm. This means that under the same display area, the pixel density of the P6 will be higher, and the number of lamp beads per unit area will also increase accordingly.
Due to the difference in pixel density and the number of lamp beads, the production cost of the P6 LED display may be slightly higher than that of the P10.
However, this cost difference is often not significant in actual applications, and it will fluctuate with factors such as market supply and demand, technological progress, etc. More importantly, when choosing an LED display, we cannot only consider the cost factor but also need to make decisions based on specific application scenarios and needs.
For example, due to its higher pixel density, the P6 LED display is suitable for occasions that require close viewing and have high requirements for clarity, such as indoor meetings, exhibitions, etc.
The P10 LED display has a slightly larger dot pitch and is suitable for viewing at a distance and for relatively low clarity requirements, such as outdoor billboards, large screens in stadiums, etc.
Therefore, when choosing between P6 and P10 LED displays, we should pay more attention to their respective advantages and applicable scenarios rather than being overly concerned about the cost. Both displays have their own development space and can meet the needs of different customers.
3. How are the two dot pitches used in the advertising market?
In the advertising market, P6 and P10 dot pitch LED displays each have their own “places to use”. Let’s talk about which occasions they are suitable for and what advertisers should consider when choosing.
1). Market application
1.1). P6 dot pitch LED display
- Application scenario:
The P6 display is like a high-definition TV, with very clear images. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for those occasions where high-definition pictures or videos need to be displayed, such as bustling commercial districts, high-end shopping malls, and various large-scale events.
In these places, people are close and can see every detail on the screen clearly, so the advertising effect is naturally great.
- Advantages:
P6 display can make the advertising content look more vivid and attractive, just like putting the product directly in front of the customer, making it unforgettable.
1.2). P10 dot pitch LED display
- Application scenario:
The P10 display is like an old-fashioned TV at home. Although its clarity is not as good as that of an HDTV, it is cheaper and still clear from a distance.
Therefore, it is particularly suitable for places with large areas and people far away, such as large billboards next to highways, stations, and airports. However, it is not as clear as the P6 if viewed from a close distance.
- Advantages:
P10 display has low cost and simple installation and maintenance. It is a good choice for advertisers with limited budgets or who do not need special high-definition effects.
2). Selection suggestions
When advertisers choose the dot pitch of LED display screens, they actually have to consider several aspects, just like when we buy things:
Think about who your billboard is mainly for and how far away they are from the billboard. If people are close, then choose P6, which can be seen clearly; if they are far away, P10 is fine, which is economical and practical.
- Budget:
Whether your wallet is fat or not is also an important factor. P6 is more expensive, but the effect is good; P10 is cheaper, and the effect is also OK. You have to choose according to your budget.
- Usage environment:
Is the billboard placed indoors or outdoors? If it is outdoors, you have to consider issues such as waterproofing and dustproofing. In addition, the screen must be bright enough. Otherwise, you can’t see anything clearly under the sun.
In general, P6 and P10 dot-pitch LED display screens have their own advantages. When choosing, advertisers have to make choices based on their actual situation.
Don’t blindly pursue high-definition effects and end up exceeding the budget; don’t choose a screen that can’t be seen clearly in order to save money otherwise the advertisement will be in vain.
Conclusion
In summary, P10 dot pitch LED display screens are usually more advantageous in terms of billboard costs. However, advertisers need to consider a variety of factors when choosing to ensure that the billboard can achieve the best publicity effect.
In future development, with the advancement of technology and the intensification of market competition, the cost difference between the two dot pitches may be further narrowed, and advertisers will have more room and flexibility in their choices.
