Have you ever encountered this situation: a good Pantalla LED suddenly flickers, has a distorted screen, or the colors become messy?
In fact, this is likely to be electromagnetic interference. Although the LED display looks powerful, it is actually very “delicate” and can be easily affected by the surrounding electromagnetic field. So, how to avoid this?

1. What is electromagnetic interference of LED display
1). Causes of electromagnetic interference in LED display screens
The power cord is like a pipeline that “feeds electricity” to the display, but this pipeline will generate some “invisible magnetic fields” when it delivers electricity.
If the power cord is not placed properly, such as being too close to the signal line, these magnetic fields will “visit” and interfere with the signal in the signal line, just like someone making noise next to it, making the normal sound unclear.
The signal line is a “path” for transmitting the control signal of the display, but this path is easily interfered by the “bad guys” around.
For example, if the signal line is close to other electrical appliances (such as high-power motors, transformers, etc.), the electromagnetic fields generated by these appliances will “run” over and mix with the signals in the signal line, causing the signal to “change”.
There are many small components inside the LED display screen, such as driver chips, switching power supplies, etc. When these components are working, they will also generate some “electromagnetic garbage”.
If these “garbage” are not handled properly, they will “run around” inside the display screen and interfere with the normal operation of other components.
2). The impact of electromagnetic interference
- Flickering:
The display screen should display the picture steadily, but electromagnetic interference will make it “cramp”, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, just like a light bulb flashing.
- Speckled:
Under normal circumstances, the pixels of the display screen should be arranged neatly, but interference will make some pixels “disordered” and appear light that should not be there, just like “acne” on the screen.
- Color cast:
The color display of the display screen will become “deviated”, for example, the original red may be orange or purple, just like the colors on the palette are messed up.
Electromagnetic interference will put a lot of pressure on the components inside the display screen. Over time, the components will be “tired”.
For example, the switching power supply may frequently “go on strike” due to interference, resulting in a shortened life of the display screen.
The content displayed on the display screen is transmitted by data signals, but if the signal is interfered with, the data will be “transmitted incorrectly”.
For example, the text displayed on the screen may have one more or one less word, and the image may be misplaced, just like a courier delivered to the wrong place.
In short, electromagnetic interference is like an “invisible troublemaker” that will cause various problems on the LED display screen and affect normal use.
2. How do you design the power cord wiring to avoid LED screen interference?
1). Separate the power cord from the signal cord
The power cord and the signal cord are like two “neighbors” with completely different personalities.
The power cord is “loud” and generates an electromagnetic field when transmitting current, while the signal cord is “timid”, and the transmitted signal is very weak and easily interfered with.
If they are too close, the signal cord will be “harassed” by the electromagnetic field of the power cord, resulting in signal distortion.
1.1). Separate the wiring and keep enough distance
When wiring, be sure to separate the power line and the signal line. Just like dividing the motor vehicle lane and non-motor vehicle lane on the road, let them not interfere with each other.
Generally speaking, the distance between the power line and the signal line should be kept at least 10 cm. If conditions permit, the farther the distance, the better.
For example, at the installation site of some large LED display screens, the power line and the signal line can be routed in different bridges or pipes, which can minimize the electromagnetic coupling between them.
1.2). Keep the power line away from sensitive signal lines
In the layout, pay special attention to the direction of the power line. Try to keep the power line away from those particularly sensitive signal lines, such as those that transmit high-definition video signals or control signals.
These signal lines are like “fragile items” and need special protection. If the power line has to cross the signal line, it is best to cross them at a 90-degree angle, because this can minimize electromagnetic interference.
2). Thicken the power line and use low-impedance materials
The power line is like a “highway,” and the current is the “traffic”. If the current is large but the power line is too thin, it will cause “traffic jams”, increase resistance, and generate more electromagnetic interference.
The right power line width and low-impedance materials can effectively reduce these problems.
2.1). Choose the right power line width
Choose a power line of appropriate width according to the power and current of the LED display. If the current is large, the cross-sectional area of the power line should also be increased accordingly.
For example, for a high-power LED display, you may need to use a power line with a cross-sectional area of 4 square millimeters or even larger.
This can reduce the loop resistance and reduce the loss and electromagnetic interference of the current during transmission.
Imagine that if you use a very thin water pipe to transport a large amount of water, the water pressure will be very high and the water flow will be very unstable; but if you use a thick water pipe, the water flow will be more stable.
2.2). Use low impedance materials
The material of the power line is also very important. Low impedance materials are like a “super highway” that allows the current to pass more smoothly and reduce electromagnetic interference.
For example, copper wire is better than aluminum wire because copper has lower resistance and stronger anti-interference ability. Although the cost of copper wire is higher than that of aluminum wire, copper wire is a better choice in terms of long-term use and stability.
In addition, the insulation layer of the power cord is also very important. Good quality insulation materials should be selected to prevent leakage and electromagnetic leakage.
3). Use shielded power cord
For power cords that need to be transmitted over long distances or are easily interfered with, shielded cables are a very effective method.
3.1). Use shielded cables
Shielded cables are like putting a layer of “protective clothing” on the power cord, which can effectively block external electromagnetic field interference.
The shielding layer of the shielded cable is usually composed of a metal braided mesh or metal foil, which can reflect and absorb external electromagnetic waves.
For example, in some complex industrial environments, there may be many strong electromagnetic devices around, such as large motors, transformers, etc.
The electromagnetic fields generated by these devices can easily interfere with the power cord. Shielded cables can protect the current inside the power cord and reduce interference.
3.2). Good grounding
The shielding layer of the shielded cable must be grounded, and the grounding must be good.
Grounding is like providing a “flood discharge port” for the shielding layer, allowing the interference current to be smoothly introduced into the earth rather than staying in the shielding layer to continue to “make trouble”.
If the grounding is poor, the shielding layer will not work effectively and may even become a “source of interference”. When grounding, make sure that the resistance of the grounding wire is small enough and that the grounding terminal is firmly connected to the grounding system.
Generally speaking, the grounding resistance should be less than 4 ohms to ensure a good grounding effect.
4). Reasonable design of the power grounding system
The grounding system is like a “safety net” that can smoothly conduct interference current into the earth.
If the grounding system is not good, the interference current has nowhere to go and will “run around” around the power line, causing more electromagnetic interference.
4.1). Establish a complete grounding system
The power grounding system should be designed reasonably to ensure that the grounding wire has sufficient cross-sectional area and the grounding terminal is firmly connected.
It is best to use copper wire for the grounding wire, and it should be as short and straight as possible to reduce the grounding resistance.
At the installation site of the large LED display, a special grounding pile can be set up to connect all the grounding wires to the grounding pile, and then the interference current is conducted into the earth through the grounding pile.
The grounding pile should be buried deep enough underground, generally at least 1 meter deep, to ensure a good grounding effect.
4.2). Avoid poor grounding
The grounding resistance should not be too large, and the grounding should be firm. If the grounding resistance is too large or the grounding wire is in poor contact, it will be difficult for the interference current to be introduced into the earth, which will increase the electromagnetic interference.
For example, in some humid environments, the grounding terminal is prone to rust, resulting in poor grounding. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check the connection of the grounding system, clean the rust in time, and ensure that the grounding system is always in good working condition.
Through the above methods, the electromagnetic interference of the power cord to the LED display can be effectively reduced.
In simple terms, it is necessary to separate the power cord and the signal cord, protect the power cord with appropriate materials and shielding measures, and ensure that the grounding system is good.
In this way, the LED display can work more steadily, and the display effect will be better.
3. How do you design the signal line wiring to avoid LED screen interference?
The signal line is the “nerve” of the LED display, responsible for transmitting control signals and data signals.
If the signal line is interfered with, the display will have various problems, such as flickering, flower screen or display of wrong content. In order to avoid these problems, the wiring design of the signal line is very important.
1). Choose a high-quality signal line
The quality of the signal line directly affects the anti-interference ability. Choosing a suitable signal line is the first step to avoid interference.
1.1). Choose signal cables with a good shielding effect
Shielded cables are like putting a layer of “protective clothing” on signal cables, which can effectively block external electromagnetic interference. Common shielded signal cables include twisted pair cables and coaxial cables.
Twisted pair cables can offset the interference of external magnetic fields by twisting two wires together; coaxial cables provide better shielding effects through the insulation layer between the inner and outer conductors.
For example, on occasions where high signal quality is required, such as high-definition video signal transmission, using coaxial cables is a better choice.
1.2). Ensure impedance matching of signal cables
Impedance matching is like making the signal “smooth all the way” during transmission.
If the impedance of the signal cable does not match the impedance of the transmitting and receiving ends, the signal will be reflected, resulting in signal distortion and interference.
In general, the impedance of the signal cable should be consistent with the input and output impedance of the device. For example, the common video signal cable impedance is 75 ohms, and the audio signal cable impedance is 110 ohms.
When wiring, choose signal cables that meet these impedance standards and ensure that the impedance of the connection is matched.
2). Optimize the signal line routing path
The signal line routing path is also very important. A reasonable routing path can reduce the interference of the signal.
2.1). Signal lines should be as straight as possible
During the transmission process of the signal line, bending and looping will cause inductive interference.
Try to make the signal line run in a straight line to reduce the number of bends and loop area.
If the signal line must be bent, the bending radius should be as large as possible to avoid sharp bends. For example, when wiring, you can use a cable trough or cable tube to fix the signal line to ensure that it runs in a regular direction.
2.2). Avoid parallel routing of signal lines and power lines
Signal lines and power lines are “enemies”. If they are parallel, the electromagnetic field generated by the power line can easily interfere with the signal line.
If parallel routing cannot be avoided, a cross layout can be used to allow the signal line and the power line to cross at a 90-degree angle, which can minimize electromagnetic coupling.
In addition, isolation measures can be added between the signal line and the power line, such as using shielding materials or adding partitions to the cable trough.
3). Strengthen signal line shielding and grounding
For signal lines that are susceptible to interference, strengthening shielding and grounding is the key.
3.1). Install the shielding layer and ensure good grounding
An additional shielding layer can be installed for important signal lines. The shielding layer is like an “electromagnetic shield” that can effectively block external electromagnetic interference.
The shielding layer must be grounded, and grounding is the key to the shielding effect.
A poorly grounded shielding layer not only fails to play a shielding role, but may also become a source of interference. When grounding, ensure that the grounding resistance is small enough, generally less than 4 ohms.
3.2). Install filters at the input and output ends of the signal line
The filter can filter out high-frequency interference components in the signal and further weaken the interference signal.
Installing filters at the input and output ends of the signal line is like setting up a “security gate” at the entrance and exit of the signal, allowing only clean signals to pass through.
For example, in some industrial environments, signal lines are easily affected by high-frequency electromagnetic interference, and installing filters can effectively improve signal quality.
4). Reasonable setting of signal amplifiers and isolators
Signals may attenuate during long-distance transmission. Reasonable setting of signal amplifiers and isolators can protect signal quality.
4.1). Reasonable setting of signal amplifiers
When the signal transmission distance is long, or the signal attenuation is large, the signal strength will become weak and susceptible to interference.
In this case, a signal amplifier can be reasonably set on the signal transmission path to enhance the signal strength.
The signal amplifier is like a “gas station” for the signal, replenishing energy for the signal so that it can continue to transmit stably.
For example, in a large LED display system, the signal transmission distance may reach tens of meters or even hundreds of meters. A reasonable setting of the signal amplifier can ensure that the signal is not distorted during transmission.
4.2). Use signal isolators
The signal isolator can isolate interference signals and protect the normal operation of the LED display. It cuts off the propagation path of the interference signal by electrical isolation.
For example, in some complex electromagnetic environments, the signal isolator can effectively prevent external interference signals from entering the control system of the LED display and ensure the stable operation of the display.
The wiring design of the signal line is crucial to avoid electromagnetic interference in the LED display.
By selecting high-quality shielded signal lines, optimizing wiring paths, strengthening shielding and grounding, and reasonably setting signal amplifiers and isolators, the interference of the signal lines can be effectively reduced, ensuring stable and reliable signal transmission of the LED display.
4. If it has been interfered with, how to "cure" it?
1). Optimize the external environment
First, check the environment around the LED display screen and minimize possible interference sources.
Si hay transmisores de radio, equipos de alta frecuencia u otras fuentes de radiación electromagnética fuerte cerca de la pantalla, considere quitarlos o tomar medidas de protección.
Por ejemplo, evite instalar la pantalla cerca de líneas de transmisión de alta tensión o motores grandes. Además, es fundamental instalar sistemas de protección contra rayos.
Las actividades eléctricas pueden generar fuertes pulsos electromagnéticos, causando interferencias o incluso daños en la pantalla.
La instalación de pararrayos, redes de protección contra rayos y otras instalaciones en el soporte de la pantalla o cerca de él puede guiar eficazmente las corrientes de los rayos y proteger la pantalla de la interferencia de los rayos.
Al mismo tiempo, verifique si la posición de instalación de la pantalla es razonable.
Si la pantalla está cerca de la fuente de interferencia, considere reajustar la posición de instalación para aumentar la distancia de la fuente de interferencia, reduciendo así el impacto de la interferencia electromagnética.
2) Verificar y optimizar la línea de señal
La línea de señal es un componente clave de la pantalla LED para transmitir señales de control. Si se interfiere con la línea de señal, la calidad de la pantalla se verá considerablemente reducida.
En primer lugar, verifique si la línea de señal existente es una línea blindada de alta calidad, como un par trenzado o un cable coaxial.
Estos cables blindados pueden bloquear eficazmente las interferencias de los campos electromagnéticos externos.
Si se detecta que el cable de señal es de mala calidad, debe reemplazarse inmediatamente por uno con mejor blindaje. En segundo lugar, vuelva a verificar el cableado del cable de señal.
El cable de señal debe ser lo más recto posible y el área de curvas y bucles debe reducirse porque las curvas y los bucles aumentarán la posibilidad de interferencia inductiva.
Al mismo tiempo, evite el tendido paralelo de cables de señal y cables de alimentación porque los cables de alimentación generarán campos electromagnéticos al transmitir corriente, lo que puede interferir fácilmente con los cables de señal.
Si no se puede evitar el tendido paralelo, el cable de señal y el cable de alimentación se deben cruzar en un ángulo de 90 grados tanto como sea posible, o se deben agregar medidas de aislamiento entre los dos, como usar materiales de blindaje o agregar particiones al canal del cable.
Además, verifique que la capa de blindaje del cable de señal esté bien conectada a tierra. La conexión a tierra es clave para el efecto de blindaje.
Una capa de protección mal conectada a tierra no sólo no puede cumplir una función de protección, sino que también puede convertirse en una fuente de interferencias.
Asegúrese de que la resistencia de conexión a tierra de la capa de protección sea lo suficientemente pequeña, generalmente menos de 4 ohmios, para garantizar un buen efecto de conexión a tierra.
3) Ajustar los parámetros del dispositivo
Una configuración incorrecta de los parámetros del dispositivo, como la tarjeta receptora de la pantalla LED, también puede provocar anomalías en la visualización.
Verifique si la configuración de los parámetros de la tarjeta receptora es razonable, reduzca adecuadamente la frecuencia de reloj (como DLCK) y ajuste la fase y el ciclo de trabajo.
El ajuste de estos parámetros puede ayudar a reducir la interferencia durante la transmisión de la señal y mejorar la estabilidad y precisión de la señal.
Además, también puedes colocar un anillo magnético antiinterferencias (anillo magnético de absorción) en la línea de señal o en la línea de alimentación.
Este anillo magnético puede suprimir eficazmente el ruido de alta frecuencia y reducir el impacto de la interferencia electromagnética en la señal.
El uso del anillo magnético antiinterferencias es muy sencillo. Simplemente colóquelo en la línea de señal o de alimentación, pero asegúrese de elegir un anillo magnético del tamaño adecuado para que se ajuste bien al cable.
4) Mejorar la calidad de la energía
La calidad de la energía es crucial para el funcionamiento normal de la pantalla LED. Proporcionar una fuente de alimentación estable a la pantalla e instalar un filtro de potencia o un estabilizador de voltaje puede reducir eficazmente las fluctuaciones de energía y el ruido.
Las fluctuaciones de energía y el ruido pueden provocar parpadeos, brillo desigual y otros problemas con la pantalla.
El filtro de potencia puede filtrar componentes de interferencia de alta frecuencia en la fuente de alimentación, mientras que el estabilizador de voltaje puede garantizar la estabilidad del voltaje de la fuente de alimentación.
Si hay una señal de interferencia en la fuente de alimentación, puede considerar utilizar una fuente de alimentación purificada o una fuente de alimentación UPS en línea.
La purificación de la fuente de alimentación puede eliminar eficazmente las impurezas y las interferencias en la fuente de alimentación, mientras que el UPS en línea no solo puede proporcionar una fuente de alimentación estable sino que también tiene cierta capacidad antiinterferente.
Al mejorar la calidad de la fuente de alimentación, se puede proporcionar un entorno de trabajo más estable y limpio para la pantalla LED, reduciendo el impacto de la interferencia electromagnética.
5) Verifique la conexión del hardware
La fiabilidad de la conexión del hardware está directamente relacionada con el rendimiento de la pantalla LED. Revise los conectores de las líneas de señal uno por uno para asegurarse de que no haya cortocircuitos, circuitos abiertos ni otros problemas.
Los cortocircuitos o circuitos abiertos pueden provocar la interrupción o distorsión de la transmisión de la señal, lo que afecta el efecto de visualización de la pantalla.
Al mismo tiempo, revise periódicamente la fuente de alimentación, la tarjeta de control, los cables de conexión y otros componentes de la pantalla, y reemplace los componentes viejos o dañados a tiempo.
Los componentes antiguos pueden experimentar una degradación del rendimiento o fallas, lo que provoca problemas de interferencia electromagnética.
Por ejemplo, una fuente de alimentación vieja puede generar más ruido electromagnético y un cable de conexión viejo puede tener problemas como mal contacto.
Al verificar y reemplazar componentes obsoletos, se puede reducir de manera efectiva la aparición de interferencias electromagnéticas y se puede mejorar la confiabilidad de la pantalla.
6) Utilizar medios técnicos
Desde un punto de vista técnico, optimizar el método de transmisión de la señal puede reducir eficazmente la interferencia electromagnética.
Por ejemplo, se utiliza tecnología de transmisión de señal diferencial, que puede mejorar eficazmente la confiabilidad de la transmisión de datos y reducir la interferencia de señal durante la transmisión.
La transmisión de señal diferencial compensa la influencia de la interferencia externa enviando dos señales de fases opuestas y realizando un procesamiento diferencial en el extremo receptor.
Además, agregar filtros a los extremos de entrada y salida de la línea de señal puede debilitar aún más la señal de interferencia.
El filtro puede filtrar los componentes de interferencia de alta frecuencia en la señal y dejar pasar únicamente la señal útil.
Al adoptar estos medios técnicos, se puede mejorar de manera efectiva la capacidad antiinterferente de la señal y se puede mejorar el efecto de visualización de la pantalla LED.
7) Ajustar la configuración de la pantalla
La configuración de la pantalla LED también afecta su efecto visual. Ajuste el brillo y el contraste según el entorno para obtener mejores resultados.
Si la luz ambiental es fuerte, se puede aumentar el brillo adecuadamente; si la luz ambiental es oscura, se puede reducir el brillo adecuadamente para evitar la influencia de demasiado brillo o demasiado oscuridad en el efecto de visualización.
Al mismo tiempo, verifique que la resolución y la frecuencia de actualización de la pantalla estén configuradas correctamente. Si no están configuradas correctamente, podrían aparecer imágenes borrosas o parpadeantes.
Asegurarse de que la resolución y la frecuencia de actualización de la pantalla coincidan con la señal de entrada puede reducir eficazmente la aparición de problemas de visualización.
8) Mantenimiento profesional
Si los métodos anteriores no pueden resolver el problema, se recomienda contactar con servicios profesionales de mantenimiento de pantallas LED.
El personal de mantenimiento profesional tiene amplia experiencia y equipo profesional para realizar inspecciones y diagnósticos exhaustivos de la pantalla.
Pueden localizar rápidamente el problema y tomar medidas efectivas para repararlo.
5. Conclusión
La interferencia electromagnética suena terrible, pero de hecho, si la manejamos con cuidado, podemos solucionarla fácilmente. Separe el cableado, elija buenos materiales, apantallamiento y conexión a tierra.
Estos métodos parecen sencillos, ¡pero funcionan de verdad! Espero que estos consejos te sean útiles y que mantengas tu pantalla LED impecablemente iluminada.
