What Is The Difference Between Indoor And Outdoor LED Display Screens?

مقدمة

Whether it is a bustling commercial center or a quiet indoor space, they attract our attention with their unique charm.

But have you ever thought about the differences between indoor and شاشات LED خارجية? This article will unveil this mystery for you.

Difference 1: Difference in the installation environment of LED displays

1). Brightness requirements

1.1). Indoor:

1.2). Outdoor:

1.1). Indoor:

1.2). Outdoor:

2). Viewing angle requirements

2.1). Indoor:

2.2). Outdoor:

2.1). Indoor:

2.2). Outdoor:

3). Other environmental factors

3.1). Waterproof and dustproof:

داخلي:

The indoor environment is relatively clean, with less dust and water.

However, in order to prevent accidents (such as accidental water spillage or dust accumulation), indoor display screens will also have some waterproof and dustproof designs, but the requirements are not so high.

Generally, it can prevent dust and splashing water.

في الهواء الطلق:

Outdoor is much more complicated, and you may encounter rain, wind, and dust flying all over the sky.

Therefore, outdoor display screens must have strong waterproof and dustproof capabilities, otherwise they are easy to break.

For example, at the seaside or in places with strong winds and sand, waterproof and dustproof capabilities are even more important.

3.2). Temperature adaptability:

داخلي:

The indoor temperature is relatively stable, and there are usually air conditioners or heaters.

So the display screen does not need to worry too much about temperature issues as long as it can adapt to normal room temperature.

في الهواء الطلق:

The temperature outdoors varies greatly; it may be very cold in winter and very hot in summer.

Therefore, outdoor display screens must be able to withstand such temperature changes. Otherwise, it is easy to have problems.

In short, the indoor and outdoor environments are very different, so the design of LED display screens must also be adjusted according to these differences, so as to ensure that they can work normally in their respective environments.

Difference 2: Content characteristics of LED display screens

1). Content of indoor display screens

The application scenarios of indoor display screens are too wide, not only in companies but also in مراكز التسوق.

For example, brand stores in shopping malls often use LED screens to display new products or play attractive videos during promotional activities.

There are also exhibition halls, where artworks or high-tech products are displayed, and LED screens are also used to introduce the background of the work or the function of the product.

1.1). Content features:

Very rich:

Indoor display screens have everything, including text, pictures, videos, and even interactive content.

For example, in a shopping mall, you may see a screen showing high-definition pictures of new bags, with text next to it describing its material and price.

Or, in a showroom, you may see a screen playing a video introducing the product, allowing you to understand it more intuitively.

Color and details are important:

Because the audience is close, the color reproduction and details must be good.

Imagine that if the pictures of jewelry are displayed in a shopping mall, the color is not accurate, or the details are blurred, then customers will definitely not be interested.

Therefore, the content of indoor display screens must be colorful and detailed to attract people.

Large and accurate information:

In many cases, indoor display screens need to convey a lot of detailed information.

For example, in a classroom, a teacher may use a screen to display some complex charts or text materials.

In a shopping mall, a brand store will display the detailed parameters of the product so that customers can see it at a glance.

2). Content of outdoor display screens

Outdoor display screens are even more different. Think about it: those advertising screens on the roadside or the super-large display screens in the square, their main task is to attract the attention of passers-by.

Therefore, you have to work hard on the content design.

2.1). Content features:

Large characters and dynamic images:

The content of outdoor display screens is usually large text or dynamic images. Because the audience is far away, the small characters can’t be seen clearly.

For example, when you walk on the street, you see an advertising screen with large characters such as “New Products” and “Limited Time Offers” scrolling.

Or a dynamic video advertisement showing the use scenario of the product, so that people can notice it at a glance.

High-contrast images:

The outdoor environment has complex light, especially when the sun is directly shining during the day; the content on the screen is easily “drowned.”

Therefore, the content contrast of outdoor display screens must be high, such as using a very dark background with very bright text, or using bright colors to attract people.

Eye-catching is the key:

The most important goal of outdoor display screens is to make people stop. Therefore, the content design will use very exaggerated picture effects or very bright colors.

For example, you may see a huge hamburger spinning or a super cool car speeding on an advertising screen, and these images are very attractive.

Difference 3: Difference in color performance of LED display screens

1). Color performance of indoor display screens

Indoor display screens are mostly used in environments with relatively soft light, such as shopping malls, معرض halls, and conference rooms.

Because the light is not glaring, the display screen does not need to be particularly bright, and a lower brightness can make the colors look more delicate.

1.1). Delicate colors:

At low brightness, the color performance of indoor display screens is particularly good, and can show a very rich color level.

For example, when displaying cosmetics in a shopping mall, the lipstick color on the screen can be accurately restored, and the transition from light pink to dark red is also very natural.

1.2). High color reproduction:

This display screen is suitable for displaying things that require details, such as exquisite pictures, works of art, or high-definition pictures of products.

For example, when displaying a painting in an exhibition hall, the color on the screen is almost exactly the same as the original painting, and even the shadows and highlights in the painting can be well displayed.

2). Color performance of outdoor displays

Outdoor displays are completely different. They are mostly used in places such as roadsides and squares, where the sun shines directly during the day, and the light is particularly strong.

In order for people to see the content clearly in this environment, the display must be very bright. When the سطوع is high, the color performance will also be different.

2.1). Higher color saturation and contrast:

In order to make the content visible even in strong light, the color saturation and contrast of outdoor displays will be adjusted very high.

For example, the blue on the screen will appear particularly blue, the red will appear particularly red, and the black-and-white contrast will be very strong.

In this way, the picture can be very eye-catching, even in the sun.

2.2). Some color details may be sacrificed:

Although the colors look bright, some subtle color levels may be “covered” because of the high brightness.

For example, when showing a landscape painting, the sky in the picture may look like a very bright blue, rather than the natural blue with varying shades.

However, this sacrifice is to ensure that the picture is still clearly visible in strong light and can be noticed at a glance.

Difference 4: Resolution requirements of LED display screens

1). دقة requirements of indoor display screens

Indoor display screens are used in places such as shopping malls, exhibition halls, and conference rooms.

The audience is very close to the screen, which may be only two or three meters or even closer.

In this case, if the screen resolution is not high enough, the audience can easily see the graininess of the picture, just like looking at a blurry photo.

1.1). High pixel density:

In order to make the picture look clear and delicate, indoor display screens usually use screens with higher pixel density.

For example, P1.5 or P2 screens, these screens have very dense pixels, and the picture looks very smooth, without the feeling of “mosaic”.

1.2). Suitable for close viewing:

For example, when displaying high-definition pictures of new products in shopping malls or playing PPTs in conference rooms, the audience is very close to the screen.

The high-resolution screen allows them to see every detail clearly, and the text will not be blurred.

2). Resolution requirements of outdoor display screens

Outdoor display screens are different. The audience is far away from the screen, which may be more than ten meters, dozens of meters, or even farther.

In this case, the screen does not need a resolution that is too high because the audience can’t see the subtle differences at all.

2.1). Larger screen size:

Although the resolution requirement is not that high, the outdoor display screen needs a larger screen size so that people far away can also see the content clearly.

For example, the advertising screen on the side of the road has a large screen, and the text and pictures on it are also very eye-catching.

2.2). Commonly used specifications such as P5 and P10:

The pixel pitch of these screens is relatively large. For example, the pixel pitch of the P5 screen is 5 mm, and the pixel pitch of the P10 screen is 10 mm.

Although it doesn’t look so delicate because the audience is far away, it does not affect the viewing effect at all.

Difference 5: Protection level and durability of LED display screens

1). Protection requirements for indoor display screens

Indoor display screens are generally used in places such as shopping malls, offices, and classrooms.

The environment is relatively “gentle” and not as complicated as the outdoors. However, although the environment is good, there are still some things to pay attention to:

Dustproof:

There will be dust indoors, especially in places like shopping malls or exhibition halls where people come and go. Over time, dust will accumulate on the screen and affect the picture effect.

Anti-static:

Static electricity is also annoying, especially in dry seasons, static electricity may absorb dust and even damage the electronic components of the screen.

مستوى الحماية:

Generally speaking, the protection level of indoor display screens is between IP20 and IP30. This level can prevent dust and block static electricity, which is basically enough.

2). Protection requirements for outdoor display screens

Outdoor display screens are completely different! They have to face all kinds of bad weather and environments and can be said to be “wind and rain-proof”:

Waterproof:

The most feared thing outdoors is rainy days. If the screen is not waterproof, heavy rain can make it “scrapped.”

Therefore, outdoor display screens must be waterproof and can work normally regardless of light rain or heavy rain.

Dustproof:

There is also a lot of dust outdoors, especially in places with strong winds and sand. Dust may block the heat dissipation holes of the screen and affect its life.

UV protection:

The ultraviolet rays of the sun are very strong. Long-term exposure will cause the screen to age, fade in color, and even damage the surface of the screen.

Lightning protection:

Outdoor display screens are usually tall and large, and they are easily struck by lightning on rainy days. Therefore, lightning protection measures are also very important. Otherwise, a lightning strike can make the screen “scrapped.”

مستوى الحماية:

Because it has to deal with so many harsh conditions, the protection level of outdoor display screens is usually IP65 and above.

This level means that the screen is not only waterproof and dustproof but also resistant to ultraviolet rays and lightning strikes, which can be said to be “fully armed.”

Difference 6: Energy consumption and heat dissipation of LED display screens

1). Energy consumption and heat dissipation of indoor display screens

The environment where indoor display screens are used is relatively comfortable, and the brightness does not need to be very high, so the energy consumption is very small.

انخفاض استهلاك الطاقة:

The brightness is low, the power is naturally small, and the power consumption is not much.

For example, the indoor display screen of P2 has a power of several hundred watts, and it is very worry-free to use electricity.

Low heat dissipation requirements:

The power is small, the heat generated is also small, and the heat dissipation requirements are not high.

Generally, it can be solved by natural heat dissipation or by installing a small fan. It is simple, worry-free, and not noisy.

2). Energy consumption and heat dissipation of outdoor display screens

Outdoor display screens are different. Because they have to “fight” with the sun, the brightness must be high, so the energy consumption is very high.

High energy consumption:

High brightness means high power. For example, the P5 outdoor display screen may have a power of several kilowatts, which consumes an astonishing amount of electricity.

The larger the screen, the higher the power and the more electricity it consumes.

Need for efficient heat dissipation:

High power generates more heat. If the heat is not dissipated in time, the screen is prone to “fever” or even burnout. Therefore, outdoor display screens must have an efficient heat dissipation system.

For example, use a large fan to blow air to dissipate heat, or use water cooling like a car water cooling system to dissipate heat to take away the heat.

Although it is complicated, it can ensure that the screen runs stably at high temperatures.

7. الخاتمة

Through the above comparison, we can clearly see that there are significant differences between indoor and outdoor LED display screens in terms of brightness, viewing angle, content design, color performance, resolution, protection level, energy consumption, and heat dissipation.

These differences are the result of their careful adjustment according to the use environment.
