The direct plug-in LED module uses direct plug-in packaging technology. The LED chip is inserted into the hole of the PCB board and connected to the circuit board through pins. This packaged module has high stability and weather resistance and is especially suitable for harsh environments such as outdoors.
The direct plug-in LED module can resist the erosion of wind, rain, sunlight, and other natural factors, ensuring long-term stable operation. Therefore, it is often used in large outdoor billboards, sports venues, building curtain walls, and other occasions.
4. Classified by usage scenario
LED display modules are used in various scenarios. According to their environmental conditions and functional requirements, they can be divided into three categories: indoor LED modules, outdoor LED modules, and semi-outdoor LED modules.
- Indoor LED module
Indoor LED modules are specially designed for indoor environments. Such modules usually have smaller pixel pitch and higher resolution to provide more detailed and clear image display effects. Indoor LED modules are widely used in commercial displays, conference reports, home entertainment, and other occasions. Their bright colors and high contrast can bring a high-quality visual experience to users.
- Outdoor LED module
Outdoor LED modules are designed specifically for outdoor environments. Considering the harsh weather conditions and strong sunlight in the outdoor environment, outdoor LED modules need to have high brightness, excellent weather resistance, and stability. These characteristics ensure that outdoor LED modules can operate normally in complex environments such as high temperature, low temperature, and humidity and provide long-lasting and stable display services for outdoor billboards, stadiums, building curtain walls, and other scenes.
- Semi-outdoor LED module
Semi-outdoor LED modules are between indoor and outdoor modules and are suitable for some semi-open or sun-shaded environments, such as balconies, corridors, etc. This type of module has the characteristics of both indoor and outdoor modules in design and performance. It can not only meet the requirements of the indoor environment for clarity and color but also adapt to a certain degree of outdoor environment challenges.
Conclusion
To sum up, there are many types of LED display modules, which can be classified according to multiple dimensions, such as pixel pitch, display color, packaging form, and usage scenarios. Understanding these classifications helps us better select and apply LED display modules that suit specific needs.
