Introduction
In the process of development, LED technology is constantly improving its advantages, bringing various conveniences to our lives, and can push us to the latest information no matter where. In today’s life, LED display screens have been well known and accepted by the public; They are commonly used for advertising and important information promotion. As a leading type of LED display screen in the LED display screen market, outdoor LED display screens are highly popular and interesting to many people. Today, we will take you to a detailed understanding of outdoor LED display screens.
1. What is an outdoor LED display screen
It is a type of LED display screen, with the most obvious feature installed outdoors.
It is currently the emerging and most popular digital media for outdoor buildings and an important medium for advertising, information, and other related activities.
It is an advertising method that keeps up with the times and can be broadcasted outdoors without the small TV screen.
It is a subtle way of communication; by playing something in a loop, you can leave a deep impression and become a product user.
2. What constitutes an outdoor LED display screen
Although the LED display screen is a large object after splicing, its main structure is simple. Below, we will mainly talk about the main structure of outdoor LED display screens.
Power supply: This is the main controller, switch, and power converter of the power supply. The input is composed of 220V and 110V, and the output is 5V because LED display screens are high-precision devices that require variable voltage; In addition, there are also options for power cords, generally available in 220v and 110v, for different countries to choose from. As different countries have different national voltages, before choosing a power cord, you need to understand the voltage in the country where the LED display screen is installed.
Control system: This is one of the most important parts of the LED display screen. Although it is a small board, it has an IC chip that controls the screen, and the playback content of the screen is managed entirely by it.
Connection cable: It can be divided into several types, such as network cable specifically connected to the network, data cable specifically connected to data, and transmission line between control card and computer.
3. What are the characteristics of outdoor LED display screens
As a major type of LED display screen, what are its characteristics? Let’s take a look together.
Point spacing is large: the point spacing of outdoor LED displays is usually relatively large, for example, P7, P8, P10, etc., because the viewing distance of outdoor LED displays and the viewer from the screen are relatively far, so the larger the dot spacing, the better to ensure that the viewer can see the screen clearly.
Cost savings: Due to the large dot spacing of outdoor LEDs, fewer lamp beads are used, resulting in lower prices. For example, P8 has 15625 lamp beads per square meter, while P10 only has 10000 per square meter, so the price of P10 will be lower than P8.
Screen brightness can be automatically adjusted: Display screens installed outdoors are generally affected by natural light, which can be troublesome to adjust manually. Therefore, outdoor LED displays are equipped with automatic adjustment functions. For example, if the sun is very bright in summer, the brightness of outdoor LED displays needs to be adjusted to be clear. However, if it is cloudy, the brightness of outdoor LED displays can be lower.
Good protection performance: The outdoor weather is unpredictable, and it may be sunny in the morning and rainy in the afternoon. Therefore, the protection performance of outdoor LED displays is very high, not only for wind and static protection but also for natural disasters such as rain, sun, and lightning protection.
High brightness: Due to direct outdoor sunlight, the brightness of outdoor LED displays is generally high, and the brightness can reach over 10000cd at 5500cd.
4. Application of Outdoor LED Display Screen
With the development of the times, the application of outdoor LED displays is increasing, and representative ones include the following:
Stadium: It is believed that when watching football matches, everyone will see LED stadium screens surrounding the perimeter of the stadium and outdoor LED display screens standing on the stadium. They are usually used by organizers to play some advertising images, a slow-motion replay of matches, or a real-time broadcast of matches.
City Square: Every city has some buildings with LED display screens installed on their facades. This type of LED display screen is generally used for advertising and broadcasting, especially the outdoor LED display screens in city squares are particularly popular among advertising investors. Due to its advantages in traffic and LED display screens, it is more attractive than ordinary traditional advertisements.
Taxi Top: This is a special type of outdoor LED display screen installed on the top of the taxi. Taxis shuttle through the streets and alleys of the city every day, bringing a huge viewing volume, so this is also one of the places where advertisers love to place advertisements; Sometimes, city promotional videos are also played to enhance residents’ happiness.
Highway: When driving on the highway, we may see a huge, upright LED display screen, which is a typical outdoor LED display screen.
Street lights: This is also a type of special screen, usually installed on street lights, and serves the same purpose as taxi LED displays.
5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of outdoor LED display screens
- Advantages
1). Accessible splicing: Outdoor LED display screens are composed of module splicing one by one, so they can also be easily installed during installation. In addition, because it is a borderless splicing, there will be no gaps after splicing, truly achieving seamless splicing.
2). Strong adaptability to the environment: Outdoor LED displays are installed outdoors and are inevitably exposed to wind, rain, and extreme natural environments. Therefore, the ability of outdoor LED displays to cope with natural environments is very good, such as having a series of protective measures such as lightning protection, waterproofing, rain protection, wind protection, electric shock prevention, and sun protection.
3). Easy maintenance: Because outdoor LED display screens are assembled from multiple boxes, it means that if a certain area does not light up, only one area needs to be repaired, and there is no need for large-scale replacement or repair.
4). Multiple types, easy to choose: If you want to buy an outdoor LED display screen, it must be because you can use it. However, everyone has different usage methods and requirements for outdoor LED displays. Therefore, a variety of types can help customers better choose suitable outdoor LED displays.
5). Interactive advertising experience: As an important medium for emerging digital media, outdoor LED display screens support diversified forms of advertising. For example, the popular naked eye 3D is also a type of outdoor LED display screen, which can bring viewers a different visual impact, interact with the audience, and improve the dissemination effect of advertising.
- Disadvantages
1). The resolution is not high: The definition of an LED display is determined by the resolution, but the point spacing determines the resolution; that is, if your LED display’s dot spacing is small, high definition, dot spacing is the large, low definition.
The dot spacing of outdoor LED display screens is generally relatively large, as their viewing distance is very far, generally over 10m. If the point spacing is too small, the content on the LED display screen cannot be clearly seen; The point spacing is large enough to see clearly; however, in reality, outdoor LED displays usually use large text and images, and low clarity has little impact.
6. What kind of content does the outdoor LED display screen support
Outdoor LED displays support all major file formats, including image formats such as IPEG and PNG, as well as video formats such as MP4, AV, and WM. You can upload videos that need to be played to maximize their promotional value.
7. How to control and manage outdoor LED display screens
The control mode of outdoor LED advertising screens is generally asynchronous playback; what is asynchronous playback? Asynchronous playback is also known as offline playback. For example, if your outdoor LED display screen is installed on a highway and is very high, you cannot touch it at all. At this time, if you want the LED display screen to play what you want to play, you need to log in to a dedicated website on your computer and enter your LED display screen account and password into the cloud control system so that you can copy the video in, The LED display screen will cycle through your cloud-based videos or images. You can also manage the database of LED displays through the cloud.
Of course, if you want to achieve this, your LED display screen needs to have an SD storage card and a 4G network module.
8. What are the specifications of outdoor LED display screens

Top floor type: This type of outdoor LED display screen is usually installed on the top floor in busy urban areas, usually on the roof or top floor of a building. As the height of the building increases, it is also necessary to consider the wind resistance index. For safety reasons, an overall inclination angle of 8% is usually reserved for wind protection during installation.
10. Maintenance methods for outdoor LED display screens
Outdoor LED display screens, due to their excellent protective performance, make it easy to maintain, mainly focusing on inspection and prevention.
Regularly arrange personnel to inspect the steel structure and welding points on the outdoor LED display screen and its installation method, whether there is any detachment or looseness on the surface. If there is any rusting reaction, rust-proof paint should be applied promptly. If there is looseness, professional installation personnel should be called in a timely manner, and a safe range should be set on the ground to warn pedestrians to be careful when passing to avoid accidents.
The power supply should be stable, and it is also a good habit to protect the outdoor LED display screen to keep good electricity habits, such as cutting off the power supply system of the outdoor LED display screen in extreme lightning weather, not using it in lightning weather, and regularly checking the reliability of the lightning rod and earthing system.
Outdoor LED display screens also have at least 2 hours of rest time per day and should be used at least once a week when there is a lot of rain. One screen should be turned on at least once, and the time to turn on the screen should be at least 2 hours. Because if you don’t use it for a long time, it can also cause malfunctions.
Regularly check the wires of outdoor LED display screens to see if there are any signs of being crushed by small animals. If there are any, please replace them in a timely manner. In addition, it is important to ensure that there are no small animals living inside the outdoor LED display screen far from the city, such as squirrels. This is very important, and careful observation should be made during the inspection.
The distribution system needs to be checked every six months to see if there is any leakage of rain.
