1. A brief introduction to floor LED screens
Floor LED screens are a kind of display screen that can be stepped on. Like ordinary LED screens, they can display various pictures, videos, and texts.
However, it is specially designed to be installed on the ground, so it is particularly strong, can withstand people stepping on it and car pressure, and is waterproof and dust-proof.
Imagine that you open a video on your computer, and the computer will decompose the video screen into small dots, which are pixels.
The same is true for floor LED screens. It decomposes the content to be displayed into the on and off signals of small lamp beads, then controls the light of these lamp beads through circuits and combines them to form the picture we see.
For example, on the stage, with the rhythm of the music, the lamp beads on the floor LED screen will flash according to the set pattern, creating a very dazzling effect.
1). Where to use
1.1). Stage performance:
For example, on the stage of a concert or evening party, the LED floor LED screen is laid on the ground.
And various lighting effects can be changed with the performers’ movements and the rhythm of the music, making the stage look particularly cool.
1.2). Mall display:
In the lobby or entrance of the mall, the floor LED screen can play advertisements or welcome words to attract customers’ attention.
1.3). Theme parks and amusement parks:
For example, in a theme park, the floor LED screen can be designed as a magic circle.
When tourists step on it, the screen will light up different lights, as if triggering magic, which is very interesting.
1.4). Interactive experience:
Some floor LED screens can also sense people’s movements. For example, when children jump on it, the screen will change different patterns according to their movements, which is very fun.
2. Why is the load-bearing rate of floor LED screens so important?
Imagine that if you lay a screen on the ground, someone must walk around on it, right? If the screen is too fragile and breaks when stepped on, how can it be used?
For example, on the stage, actors dance and jump. If the screen cannot bear it and the lamp beads are stepped on, the picture will be messed up, and people may fall and get injured.
Moreover, during stage performances, the lights and sound are particularly dazzling, and the audience’s attention is on the stage.
If the floor LED screen suddenly breaks, it will not only affect the performance effect but also make the whole event very embarrassing.
Screens with poor load-bearing capacity are prone to problems. For example, in a shopping mall, customers come and go. If the floor LED screen breaks when stepped on, it is too dangerous.
If someone steps into a broken place, it is easy to slip or trip, and the consequences will be serious.
Especially in shopping malls, there is a large flow of people, and there are many elderly and children. Safety issues must not be sloppy.
If the screen is sturdy, people don’t have to worry about accidents when walking on it, and the shopping experience will be better.
If the screen has good load-bearing capacity, it can be used for a long time without frequent repairs or replacements.
In this way, the cost will be low in the long run. On the contrary, if the screen breaks when stepped on, it will have to be repaired every now and then, which is very troublesome and expensive.
For example, in some large-scale events, the cost of venue layout is very high.
If the floor LED screen is of poor quality and breaks down after a short time, it will not only waste money but also affect the overall effect of the event.
Moreover, it is also troublesome to repair the screen. You have to find a professional to repair it, which will take time, which is not cost-effective.
Different places have different load-bearing requirements for screens. For example, on the stage, it may have to withstand the jumping of actors and the movement of props.
In the mall, it may have to withstand the crushing of trolleys; in outdoor activities, it may also be crushed by vehicles.
If the load-bearing capacity is not enough, the screen will be easily broken and will not be able to meet these requirements.
For example, at an outdoor music festival, the floor LED screen under the stage may be crushed by audio equipment, lighting equipment, or even vehicles.
If the screen is not strong, the effect of the entire event will be greatly reduced.
Screens with strong load-bearing capacity are usually more solid in structure and have better waterproof and dust-proof effects.
Just like a sturdy box, it can better protect the lamp beads and circuits inside, so dust and water are not easy to enter, and the screen can be used longer.
For example, in some humid environments or dusty places, if the screen is not waterproof and dust-proof, it is easy to break.
However, if the load-bearing capacity is strong and the structural design is reasonable, the screen can better resist these external factors, and the service life will naturally be longer.
If the screen has good load-bearing capacity, users don’t have to worry about the screen breaking when walking or interacting with it, and they can use it more safely.
For example, in the playground, children jump on it, and the screen can still work normally, so they will have more fun.
Moreover, this interactive experience is very important. If the screen quality is not good, the screen will break after the children play for a while, which will definitely affect their mood.
The same is true in commercial places. When customers see a high-quality floor LED screen in the mall, they will feel that the mall is of higher grade and the shopping experience will be better.
The screen with strong load-bearing capacity is also worry-free and can be maintained at ordinary times.
For example, you don’t need to check the screen frequently to see if it has been stepped on, nor do you need to worry about the frequent damage of the lamp beads.
On the contrary, if the screen has poor load-bearing capacity, it may have to be repaired every once in a while, which is not only troublesome but also increases the maintenance cost.
Moreover, repairing the screen may require professional equipment and technicians, which is also a considerable expense.
In stage performances or commercial displays, the effect of floor LED screens is very important.
If the screen is of good quality and has a strong load-bearing capacity, it can display various cool pictures and effects better.
For example, at a concert or a new product launch, the floor LED screen can change various lighting effects with the rhythm of the music and the content of the performance, making the atmosphere of the entire event more lively.
However, if the screen is of poor quality and has insufficient load-bearing capacity, it may break at a critical moment, and the effect of the entire event will be greatly reduced.
3. Analysis of the load-bearing capacity range of floor LED screens
1). Common load-bearing range
In the market, the load-bearing capacity of most floor LED screens is generally between 1.5 tons and 2 tons.
The load-bearing capacity in this range can already meet the needs of most daily-use scenarios.
Specifically, this means that each square meter of floor LED screen can withstand a weight of about 1,500 kg to 2,000 kg.
For ordinary scenes such as traffic, stage performances, and shopping mall displays, such a load-bearing capacity is completely sufficient.
For example, the weight of an adult is generally around 60-80 kg, and the screen can easily withstand even if many people walk or dance on it at the same time.
Even if a trolley or small equipment is moved on it, it will not cause damage to the screen.
2). Meet the needs of different scenarios
First, for general stage performances, shopping mall displays, indoor activities, etc., a load-bearing capacity of 1.5 tons to 2 tons is sufficient. In these scenes, people mainly walk, dance, or place some light equipment.
For large-scale concerts, outdoor activities, or occasions where heavy equipment needs to be carried, screens with higher load-bearing capacity are required, such as 2.9 tons or even higher products.
These high-end products can ensure that they will not be damaged even in extreme situations.
4. Factors affecting the load-bearing capacity of floor LED screens
1). Materials and structure
In simple terms, what the “body” of the floor LED screen is made of determines how strong it is.
If it is made of aluminum alloy, it is like using aluminum alloy to make windows. Although it is light, it may not be so hard.
If it is made of steel, it is like using steel bars to build buildings, which is much stronger. Moreover, the structure inside the floor LED screen is also very important.
For example, some floor LED screens are designed with many “small bridge piers” (reinforcement ribs).
These small bridge piers can disperse the pressure of stepping on them, making the screen less likely to break.
2). Protection level
The protection level is like a “raincoat” for LED floor tile screens. LED floor tile screens with high protection levels (such as IP65 and above) have good waterproof and dustproof effects.
The lamp beads and circuits inside are not easily damaged by water or blocked by dust.
In this way, the screen can not only be used longer but also have a better load-bearing capacity.
It’s like you are wearing a waterproof coat. Even if it rains heavily, you will not get wet, and the equipment inside can work normally.
3). Production process
The production process is like putting a layer of “armor” on the floor LED screen. For example, some floor LED screens use high-strength tempered glass as a mask.
This glass is very hard and can disperse the pressure of stepping on it and protect the lamp beads inside.
Some floor LED screens use special PC materials as covers. This material is both light and strong, which makes the floor LED screen not easy to break when stepped on.
In short, a good production process can make the floor LED screen more durable and have a stronger load-bearing capacity.
5. The impact of the load-bearing capacity of floor LED screens on application scenarios
1). Stage performance
On the stage, the floor LED screen with high load-bearing capacity is simply a “guardian”. The actors dance and jump on it, and sometimes, even heavy props move back and forth.
If the screen’s load-bearing capacity is not enough, once the lamp beads are stepped on, the picture will be messy, and the actors will easily fall and get injured.
For example, in large-scale concerts or dance performances, the lighting effects on the stage rely entirely on the floor LED screen.
If the screen is not strong enough, the effect of the entire performance will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, floor LED screens with high load-bearing capacity can not only protect the equipment but also ensure the smooth progress of the performance so that the audience can see a perfect performance.
2). Commercial exhibitions
In shopping malls or exhibitions, floor LED screens have to withstand the trampling of the audience, and sometimes, some heavier items have to be displayed.
For example, at the entrance of a shopping mall, the flow of people is particularly large. If the screen’s load-bearing capacity is not good, it is easy to be stepped on.
In addition, some exhibitions will display some small equipment or exhibits on floor LED screens, and the screen must have sufficient load-bearing capacity to support these things.
If the screen quality is not good, the displayed items will have problems as soon as they are put on, which will not only affect the display effect but also make the merchant feel unprofessional.
Therefore, in commercial exhibitions, floor LED screens with good load-bearing capacity can not only ensure the display effect but also improve the overall grade.
3). Outdoor scenes
Outdoors, such as scenic spots and squares, floor LED screens face greater challenges. The outdoor environment is complex.
Not only do people step on it, but it may also be blown by the wind, rained on, and sometimes even crushed by vehicles.
For example, in the entrance square of the scenic spot, tourists come and go, and sometimes there are sightseeing cars or carts passing by.
If the load-bearing capacity of the floor LED screen is not enough, it is easily crushed, the outdoor environment is humid, and the screen with poor protection ability easily gets water and dust.
Therefore, the floor LED screen for outdoor scenes not only needs high load-bearing capacity but also has good waterproof and dust-proof functions so that it can work stably for a long time in harsh environments.
6. Conclusion
Through the above in-depth analysis of the load-bearing capacity of floor LED screens, I believe you have a clearer understanding of the performance of this product.
