In 3 Minutes, I Will Tell You The Imaging Principle Of LED Display Screen.

Introduction

With the rapid development of science and technology, LED displays have gradually penetrated into every aspect of our lives.

From neon billboards in cities to large indoor displays to electronic devices for personal use, LED displays are used everywhere. Its unique imaging method and display effect bring us an unprecedented visual experience. However, for many people, the imaging principles behind LED displays remain a mysterious and fascinating area.

Understanding the imaging principles of LED displays can not only help us better use and maintain these devices but also give us a deeper understanding of the essence of modern display technology.

1. Basic knowledge of LED display

An LED display is an electronic display device that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as display elements. The lighting principle of LED display is based on the electroluminescence effect of LED (Light Emitting Diode).

Specifically, LED is a diode made of semiconductor material. When current passes through, electrons and holes recombine at the PN junction and release energy. This energy is emitted in the form of photons, thereby realizing the conversion of electrical energy to light energy.

The LED display screen is composed of many LEDs. Each LED is a semiconductor device and has the characteristic of emitting light when facing a forward voltage. These LEDs are organized into a matrix or row, and each LED has an independent control circuit that can control the brightness and color of the LED by controlling the switching state of the circuit. 

When an image or text needs to be displayed, the computer converts the image or text into a digital signal and sends it to the control circuit of the LED display. The control circuit converts the digital signal into a control signal to display images or text by controlling the brightness and color of the LED.

LED displays have the advantages of high brightness, low power consumption, long life, high reliability, and easy maintenance, so they are widely used on various occasions, such as outdoor billboards, stadiums, conference rooms, etc.

2. LED display imaging principle

  • Dot matrix imaging principle

The LED display screen is composed of many small LED lights. These LED lights are arranged into dots according to certain rules, just like the dot matrix we usually see. Each dot emits light and represents a pixel on the display. When these dots change in specific order and brightness, we can see various images and text.

The density of the dot matrix determines the clarity of the display. If the dot matrix is dense and the pixel pitch is small, the display can display a more detailed and clearer image. On the contrary, if the dot matrix is sparse and the pixel spacing is large, the display effect will be relatively rough.

  • Pixel drive and control

Imagine that each LED light is like a small light bulb that requires a switch to control whether it emits light or not. In an LED display, this switch is the pixel drive circuit. When the control signals and data signals are transmitted to the display screen through specific interfaces and protocols, the pixel driver circuit will control the on and off of the LED lights and color changes based on these signals.

The gray scale can be understood as the brightness level of LED lights. If the gray level is high, the brightness of the LED light will change in a large range, and a more detailed image can be displayed. Color depth refers to the number of colors that an LED display can display. The higher the color depth, the richer the colors of the display.

  • Color synthesis and display

We know that red, green, and blue can be mixed to produce various colors. This is the principle of the three primary colors of RGB. In the LED display screen, each pixel contains LED lights of three colors: red, green, and blue. By adjusting the brightness and color changes of these three LED lights, we can synthesize various colors to display colorful images.

In order to make the colors of the display more accurate and uniform, we also need to perform color correction and adjustment. Just like when we take a photo, we sometimes need to color the photo to make it look more real and natural. Through color correction and adjustment, LED displays can present more realistic and natural image effects.

3. Development of LED display imaging technology

  • The evolution of scanning technology

The scanning technology of LED displays is an important part of its imaging technology, which determines the refresh rate and display effect of the display. 

With the continuous advancement of technology, scanning technology has also experienced a transformation from static scanning to dynamic scanning.

Static scanning technology is the earliest scanning method applied to LED displays. In this way, each LED pixel has an independent drive circuit, which can independently control its on and off state.

However, with the increase in display size and pixel density, static scanning technology faces problems such as high power consumption, high cost, and poor stability.

In order to solve these problems, dynamic scanning technology came into being. Dynamic scanning technology uses time-division multiplexing to share a driving circuit with multiple LED pixels, thereby reducing power consumption and cost.

At the same time, by optimizing the scanning algorithm and improving the performance of the driving circuit, dynamic scanning technology can also achieve higher refresh rates and lower delays, making the display effect of the LED display smoother and more realistic.

In recent years, with the continuous development of technology, high refresh rate and low latency technology have also been widely used in LED displays. A high refresh rate means the display can update the picture in a shorter period of time, resulting in smoother dynamic effects. Low-latency technology can reduce the time delay between signal input and picture display, improving the user’s viewing experience.

  • High-density display technology

As people have higher and higher requirements for display effects, high-density display technology has become one of the important directions for the development of LED displays. High-density display technology mainly includes small-pitch LED technology, micro LED (Micro-LED), and Mini LED technology.

Small-pitch LED technology refers to increasing the pixel density of the display screen by reducing the spacing between LED pixels. This method allows the display to present more details and higher clarity within a limited area. At present, small-pitch LED technology is widely used in various high-end display occasions, such as cinemas and museums.

Micro LED and Mini LED technologies are emerging as high-density display technologies in recent years. Micro LED technology uses extremely small LED chips as display units, which can achieve extremely high pixel density and resolution. Mini LED technology is a link between traditional LED and micro LED.

It uses smaller LED chips as backlight sources to achieve higher contrast and deeper black performance through local dimming technology. Both technologies have extremely high display effects and broad application prospects.

  • Intelligent display and control

With the continuous development of intelligent technology, LED display screens are gradually developing in an intelligent direction. Intelligent display and control technology mainly includes remote monitoring and content adaptation and intelligent adjustment technology for control systems.

The remote monitoring and control system allows users to remotely monitor and control the operating status of the LED display through the network. This technology can obtain the brightness, temperature, humidity, and other parameters of the display screen in real time and adjust and optimize it as needed.

At the same time, the remote monitoring and control system can also implement fault warning and automatic repair functions to improve the stability and reliability of the display.

Content adaptive and intelligent adjustment technology automatically adjusts the display effect according to the usage scenario and content of the display.

For example, in a movie theater, parameters such as brightness, contrast, and color of the display can be automatically adjusted according to the type of movie being played; in a conference room, parameters such as brightness and viewing angle of the display can be automatically adjusted according to the number and location of participants.

This technology can make LED displays more intelligent and humane, improving users’ viewing experience.

4. Evaluation standards for LED display imaging quality

The imaging quality of an LED display is one of the important indicators to measure its performance. The following are several commonly used evaluation criteria:

1). Brightness uniformity refers to whether the brightness of each area is consistent when the LED display screen displays an image. A display with good brightness uniformity will be more visually comfortable, and there will be no obvious brightness difference.

2) .Color reproduction: Color reproduction refers to whether the LED display screen can accurately restore the color of the original image when displaying the image. A display with good color reproduction can present a more realistic and natural image effect.

3). Contrast and viewing angle: Contrast refers to the brightness difference between the brightest and darkest areas on the display screen. The higher the contrast, the stronger the layering of the image.

Viewing angle refers to the range of angles at which users can clearly see images when viewing the display from different angles. A display with high contrast and wide viewing angles can provide a better viewing experience.

5. How do we optimize imaging quality?

In order to improve the imaging quality of LED display screens, the following optimization methods can be used:

1). Selection and layout of LED lamp beads: LED lamp beads are the basic unit of the display screen, and their quality and layout directly affect the imaging quality of the display screen.

Therefore, when choosing LED lamp beads, you should choose products with high brightness, good color consistency, and long life. At the same time, during layout, the spacing and angles of lamp beads should be reasonably arranged to ensure brightness uniformity and color consistency of the entire display.

2). Optimization of drive and control circuits: The drive and control circuit is the core part of the LED display, and its performance directly affects the display effect of the display.

Therefore, the drive and control circuit should be optimized and designed to improve the stability and reliability of the circuit and reduce image distortion, flicker, and other problems caused by circuit problems.

3). Elimination of ambient light interference: Ambient light interference is one of the important factors affecting the imaging quality of LED display screens. In order to reduce the impact of ambient light on the display screen, measures such as light hoods and polarizers can be used to eliminate the interference of ambient light.

At the same time, you can also adjust parameters such as the brightness and contrast of the display to adapt to different ambient light conditions.

Through the above optimization methods, the imaging quality of the LED display can be effectively improved, providing a clearer, more realistic, and natural image effect.
