2. LED display technology and application
The working principle of LED display is mainly based on the light-emitting principle of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). When current passes through the LED, electrons and holes recombine in the PN junction, releasing energy and generating light. In the LED display, thousands of LEDs are combined together to form images or text by controlling the brightness and color of each LED.
1). Classification of LED display screens
Indoor LED display screens: This type of display screen usually has low brightness and is suitable for use in indoor environments. Since the indoor light is relatively weak, too high brightness is not required. Common indoor LED display screens include P4, P5, and other models, with high resolution and suitable for close viewing.
Outdoor LED display screens: Outdoor LED display screens have high brightness and can withstand harsh weather conditions and strong sunlight. Common outdoor LED display screens include P10, P16, and other models, with moderate resolution, suitable for long-distance viewing.
High-definition LED display screens: High-definition LED display screens have higher pixel density and resolution and can display more delicate images and text. This type of display screen is often used in high-end commercial advertisements, stage backgrounds, and other occasions that require high-definition picture quality.
2). Advantages of LED display screens
- High brightness and high contrast
The brightness of LED display screens is usually much higher than that of traditional display screens, which makes it possible to clearly display content outdoors or in strong light environments. At the same time, the contrast of LED display screens is also high, which can present more vivid colors and clearer images.
- Energy saving and environmental protection
The luminous efficiency of LED display screens is much higher than that of traditional light sources, so it has lower energy consumption. At the same time, LED display screens do not produce harmful substances during the luminescence process, which is more environmentally friendly.
- Long life and good stability
The service life of LED display screens can usually reach tens of thousands of hours, which is much higher than that of traditional display screens. At the same time, LED display screens have a simple structure and good stability and can work normally in various harsh environments.
3). Application of LED display screens in advertising, publicity, transportation, and other fields
- Advertising field
LED display screens are widely used in the advertising field, including outdoor billboards, internal advertising in shopping malls, advertising displays in public places such as stations and airports, etc. The high brightness, high contrast energy-saving, and environmental protection characteristics of LED display screens make the advertising content more eye-catching.
- Publication field
LED display screens are often used as publicity and display tools in various activities, exhibitions, conferences, and other occasions. By playing various forms of content such as videos, pictures, and texts, LED display screens can intuitively display information such as activity themes and publicity concepts.
- Transportation field
In the transportation field, LED display screens are widely used in traffic instructions, road condition information displays, and other aspects. By updating traffic information in real time, LED display screens can help drivers understand road conditions in a timely manner and improve driving safety. In addition, LED display screens can also be used to display traffic slogans, temporary traffic control information, and other content to remind drivers to abide by traffic rules.
