5 Differences Between Pole LED Display And Other LED Display

Introduction

Have you ever thought about the difference between those small screens hanging on street lamp poles and the super large LED displays in shopping malls?

Although they can display images and text, they are actually very different in design, function and usage scenarios. Today, let us uncover the 5 secrets between pole LED displays and other Écrans LED.

Difference 1: Difference in installation position and structural design

1). Installation position

1.1). pole Affichage LED:

This thing is a display installed on a street lamp pole or a special pole, and the position is quite high.

If you go shopping in a big city, you will definitely see that kind of screen hanging on the street lamp pole on the roadside, with everything on it, such as advertisements and notices.

It is installed high so that more people can see it; whether they are driving or walking, they can see it at a glance.

The installation height is generally higher than a person’s. Otherwise, everyone has to look up, which is too inconvenient.

1.2). Other LED display:

There are many installation positions for this kind of display. If it is installed indoors, such as in a shopping mall.

Supermarket or exposition hall, it is usually hung on the wall or placed in a corner to display product information, promotional activities or exhibits.

If it is installed outdoors, it may be used for large-scale events, such as concerts, des sports events, etc.

The large screen next to or behind the organiser can play the live picture in real-time, allowing the audience to see more clearly.

In short, this thing can be installed in various locations according to different places and needs.

2). Structural design

2.1). P.ole LED display:

This display is installed at a high place, so it must be light; otherwise, the lamp pole can’t bear it. It is also convenient to install and maintain without using tools that are too complicated.

Heat dissipation is also very important because the heat dissipation at a high place is not very good, so there will be a cooling fan or heat sink inside to prevent the display from overheating.

The protective performance cannot be bad either; after all, it is common outdoors to be exposed to wind and rain.

Therefore, the outer shell is generally sealed, waterproof, dustproof, and UV-proof to ensure that the display can be used for a long time.

2.2). Other LED display screens:

The structural design of this type of display screen is much more flexible. If it is installed indoors, the structure may be more delicate, but the appearance is good.

If it is installed outdoors, the structure must be strong and able to withstand bad weather.

The heat dissipation design will also be adjusted according to the power and environment. The heat dissipation system of high-power display screens is more complicated.

The protection design also varies according to the location. It is important for outdoor display screens to be waterproof, windproof, and UV-proof; indoor display screens are mainly dustproof and moisture-proof.

Difference 2: The particularity of the usage scenario

1). P.ole LED display:

This type of display is installed on a street pole and is mainly used outdoors. You can definitely see it if you go walking on the street.

It is usually on the side of the road, in a block, in a park or in a park. Why is it installed in these places?

Because it is mainly for the public to see, like a loudspeaker, telling everyone all kinds of information.

For example, it will tell you what the weather is like today, whether the road is congested, and whether there are any emergencies.

The government will also use it to promote policies and tell everyone the latest policy content.

Of course, businesses also like to use it for advertising to attract the attention of passers-by. In short, it allows everyone to easily obtain information in public places.

For example, on the side of the road, it will tell you whether the road ahead is congested or not and whether there are any accidents; in the park, it will remind everyone to protect the environment and not litter.

In the park, it will introduce fun things to do and activities. This display is like a “big housekeeper” of public information, providing everyone with various useful information.

2). Other LED display screens:

This type of display screen is amazing; it can be used both indoors and outdoors, and it has many scenes.

Indoors, such as in centres commerciaux, it will display product information and promotions and tell you which products are discounted and which new products are on the market.

The conference room will display meeting materials and speech content so that participants can clearly see the PowerPoint slides and charts.

On the stage, it will play videos and pictures in conjunction with the performance, increase the stage effect, and make the performance more exciting.

Outdoors, in addition to advertising, can also be used for live broadcasts of large-scale events, real-time screen displays of sports events, etc.

Its information release purpose is also more flexible, not limited to public information, but more based on specific occasions.

For example, shopping malls display pictures and videos of various commodities to attract customers. In conference rooms, it will display meeting materials to facilitate everyone to understand the content of the meeting.

On stage, it will play videos related to the performance to create an atmosphere. At large-scale events, it will broadcast live event images in real-time so that the audience can clearly see the situation on the scene, even from a distance.

In short, this display is like a “jack of all trades”, which can display various contents according to different occasions and needs to meet different information release purposes.

Difference 3: Limitation of size and display content

1). P.ole LED display:

The lamp pole LED display is generally not large, usually only the size of a palm and the size of a laptop screen.

Because they are installed on street lamp poles, if they are too large, not only will it be inconvenient to install.

But they will also be easily shaken by the wind at high altitudes and may even fall down, which is too dangerous.

Therefore, these displays can usually only display some simple content. For example, it may display some concise text messages, such as “Construction ahead, please slow down”, “Welcome to XX Park”, and so on.

If pictures are displayed, they are mostly simple and clear icons or small pictures, such as a pointing arrow with the word “exit”, which can be understood at a glance.

As for videos, they can only be very short videos, and more than ten seconds is considered long.

Because the screen is small, if the content is too complicated, it will be difficult for everyone to watch, and it is easy to dazzle people.

Therefore, the content design is generally concise and clear so that people can understand it at a glance.

When people pass by, they don’t have to stop and think carefully, and they can quickly get useful information.

2). Other LED display screens:

Other LED display screens are amazing. Their sizes can be very large, and they can be assembled as big as a wall or even larger.

Because these display screens are usually installed indoors or in a relatively stable outdoor environment, there is no need to worry about wind and rain, so they can be used to their full potential.

They can play high-definition dynamic videos, and videos with complex pictures and rich colours are no problem.

For example, in shopping malls, the large screen can play the latest movie trailers, with super clear pictures and super shocking sound, making people feel like they are in a movie theatre.

Because the screen is large, the content design can be more complex, and the playback time can be longer.

For example, the background video of a performance can be played for several minutes to immerse everyone.

Moreover, these display screens can be spliced in large areas as needed to form screen walls of various shapes and sizes to meet different display needs.

For example, at the scene of a large-scale sports event, the super-large screen behind the auditorium can play the game screen in real-time so that the audience can clearly see every wonderful moment, even if they are sitting far away.

In short, there is almost no limit to the size and display content of other LED display screens. As long as you can think of it, it can be displayed.

Difference 4: Difference in control method and networking capability

1). P.ole LED display screen:

Pole LED display screens are usually very “high-tech”. Most of them are remotely controlled through 5G or the Internet of Things.

Just like using a remote control to control a TV, except that the remote control may be placed far away, even in the city’s control centre.

In this way, all pole LED displays can be dispatched uniformly. For example, on an important holiday, all screens can play celebratory pictures at the same time, or in an emergency, alarm information can be quickly issued.

This “multi-screen linkage” is very powerful, which can make the information release of the entire city super organized, just like a brain directing many small screens.

Moreover, this method can also be connected to the ville intelligente system to make city management more intelligent.

2). Other LED display screens:

Other LED display screens are not that complicated. Some are independently operated, just like an ordinary TV, playing their own content.

When updating content, you may need to insert a USB drive and copy new videos or pictures into it.

Some slightly more advanced ones may be controlled by a local area network. For example, in a shopping mall, all screens can update content through the mall’s internal network.

This method is more suitable for scenes that do not require frequent updates or real-time interaction with the outside world.

In general, the control methods of other LED display screens are more flexible, but they do not emphasize unified management and linkage as much as lamp pole LED display screens.

Difference 5: The difference between power supply and energy consumption design

1). P.ole LED display screen:

Le source de courant of the pole LED display screen is usually connected to the power system of the street lamp, which is like it has a ready-made “power bank”.

Because street lamps have limited power, pole LED displays must be designed to be low-power and energy-efficient.

It’s like making the display work longer under a limited “power budget”. Therefore, this type of display will pay special attention to energy-saving technologies when designing.

Such as using efficient LED chips or automatically reducing the brightness when no content is displayed.

In this way, it can continue to work without adding too much extra power burden, saving energy for the city.

2). Other LED displays:

Other LED displays do not have so many restrictions. They usually have independent power supplies, which can be connected to the mains or used as a dedicated power adapter.

Because there are no strict power restrictions like street lamps, they can accept higher energy consumption.

It’s like they have a “large-capacity power bank” that can support brighter displays, more complex content, and even long-term operation.

Of course, this does not mean that they do not consider energy saving at all, but relatively speaking.

They have more flexibility in design and can balance performance and energy consumption according to different usage scenarios and needs.

6. Conclusion

After reading these 5 major differences, do you have a new understanding of LED displays?

Whether it is a small screen hanging high on a street lamp pole or a stunning large screen in a shopping mall, they are adding colour to our lives in their own way.
