What Is An LED Screen Viewing Angle?

When purchasing an LED display, the horizontal and vertical viewing angles are important parameters, and the size of the viewing angle affects the viewing angle range.

1. What is a full-color LED display viewing angle?

You can see the angle of all the content on the LED display screen from different directions. It can also be understood as the maximum or minimum angle at which we can see the led screen. 

The viewing angle of the full-color LED display is a reference value—which includes both horizontal and vertical indicators.

For example: 

the technical parameter table of LED full-color advertising screen states: the horizontal viewing angle is 160°/140°; the first number 160 indicates that the horizontal viewing angle is 160 degrees, and the second number 140 indicates the vertical viewing angle is 140 degrees, within the viewing range of 160°/140°, all viewers can enjoy the best viewing effect. Beyond this range, viewers will see visual effects lower than 50% of the normal brightness.

2. Why are viewing angles important for a LED screen?

The led screen viewing angle affects the viewing angle range for commercial and professional use if the larger the viewing angle of your LED display, the wider the coverage. 

The viewing angle of a good LED display can ensure that all viewers can see the led screen’s content.

Therefore, before purchasing an LED display, you should consider the location and use of the LED display, especially when installing an outdoor LED display; you want the audience to see the display content for outdoor advertising displays no matter where they stand.

Generally speaking, when holding events and advertising applications, you like to choose a full-view or large-view LED display.

3. What is a good viewing angle for a led display?

Generally, a viewing angle less than 120 degrees is defined as a narrow viewing angle, and a viewing angle between 120-150 degrees is a wide viewing angle.

All other applications prefer wide-angle LEDs, so what about wider viewing angles? this can be determined according to the actual situation.

For example:

In road/highway applications and railways, the driver needs to be given enough time to view the required information, notifications, or warnings. 

The LED display provides a longer viewing time and has the characteristics of high brightness. In this case, a narrow viewing angle is more suitable.

Assuming that your LED display is installed in a place with a lot of traffic, it is usually used to promote advertisements and information, such as shopping malls, airports, sports events, etc. The light with a wide viewing angle is scattered in a large area, allowing viewers to watch from any angle easily.

The best viewing angle of an LED display is between 120-160 degrees.

4. What factors affect the viewing angle of the full-color LED display?

The viewing angle of the full-color LED large screen is affected by the following 2 factors:

Factor 1:

The viewing angle of the LED display is mainly determined by the packaging method of the LED chip,among them, the viewing angle of the surface mount LED lamp is better, and the current mainstream LED package is also the SMD surface mount package.

Factor 2:

The viewing angle of the LED display has a lot to do with the distance, but at present, most LED display manufacturers professionally organize the LED display data for production according to market demand and product research. 

If you want to customize the angle according to the site situation, this will increase your cost and test the environment; the larger the angle, the lower the LED’s full-color screen’s brightness.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the viewing angle is very important when investing in LED displays.

Before installing the LED display, it is necessary to make a standard prediction for the use occasion to calculate the required viewing angle and viewing distance and then match according to this requirement to ensure that the product meets the specific needs.

Before purchasing, you need to prepare information such as pictures of the installation location, the expected number of viewers, display purposes, etc.
