Scenic park: Outdoor LED display can be used as an information screen in scenic spots, amusement parks and other places to play the introduction of scenic spots, play guides and other content, improve tourist satisfaction.

Resolution and pixel density of outdoor LED displays

Resolution: The resolution of an outdoor LED display refers to the number of pixels on the screen, usually expressed as the number of horizontal pixels × the number of vertical pixels. The higher the resolution, the more detail the screen can display and the sharper the picture, but it also increases the cost and power consumption. Outdoor LED display resolution is generally higher, can reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of pixels.

Pixel density: Outdoor LED display pixel density refers to the number of pixels per square inch, usually calculated by dividing the number of pixels by the screen area. The higher the pixel density, the sharper the image, but it also affects the brightness of the display, the brightness of the color, the Angle of view and so on. Generally, outdoor LED displays have a lower pixel density than indoor displays, but there are products with higher pixel density.

Outdoor LED display control system

Hardware control system: The hardware control system includes control card, power supply, interface board, etc., which is responsible for receiving control signals and image data and converting them into signals that can be read by the display screen. As the core component of the control system, the control card is responsible for controlling the display mode, display content and refresh frequency of the display screen. It usually uses high-performance processor and memory module to ensure the stable operation of the display screen.

Software control system: Software control system refers to the software system that controls the display content, which can be transferred to the display through the network or other means. Commonly used software control systems are LED display control software and LED playback software. LED display control software can control the screen brightness, color, resolution and other parameters, and remote monitoring and management; LED playback software can produce and manage display content, and achieve timing playback and scrolling display and other functions.

Signal transmission mode: The outdoor LED display control system can use a variety of signal transmission modes, such as network transmission, serial transmission, wireless transmission, etc. Network transmission is the most commonly used method. Devices and displays can be controlled through local area networks or Internet connections to achieve remote control and management. Serial transmission is suitable for the control system with a close distance, and the signal can be directly transmitted to the display screen. Wireless transmission is suitable for complex environment or difficult to wire occasions.

Outdoor LED display control system is a crucial part of the whole display system, its stability, ease of use and flexibility directly affect the display effect and use experience.

Prices of outdoor LED displays

The price of outdoor LED display is affected by many factors, such as screen size, pixel density, display effect, control system, material quality, production process and so on. Generally speaking, the price of outdoor LED display is relatively high, more expensive than indoor LED display, because outdoor LED display needs to have waterproof, dustproof, UV resistance, high temperature resistance and other characteristics, so the need to use higher grade materials and production process, the cost is higher.

One of the latest trends impacting pricing is advancements in energy-efficient LED technology. With recent innovations, the power consumption of LED displays has been significantly reduced, which not only cuts operational costs but also is more environmentally friendly. This trend is especially beneficial for commercial uses where displays run for extended periods.

Outdoor LED displays can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 depending on the technology and materials used, as well as the brand and reputation of the manufacturer. In general, larger manufacturers with more well-known brands will offer more stable and reliable products at correspondingly higher prices, while smaller manufacturers may offer more cost-effective products.

Another emerging trend is the adoption of AI and IoT integration in outdoor LED displays. These smart displays can offer features like automated brightness adjustments based on environmental conditions, real-time data analytics, and even predictive maintenance. While these added technologies can raise initial costs, they often lead to long-term savings and improved performance.

In addition, the price of outdoor LED display is also affected by market demand and competition, and with the continuous progress of technology and the expansion of production scale, the price of outdoor LED display is gradually decreasing. But overall, the price of outdoor LED displays is still high relative to other types of displays, and you need to make choices based on actual demand and budget.

3. How to Distinguish the Outdoor Display and Indoor Display?

The so-called outdoor LED display is a flat panel display used outdoors. Its area is generally between tens of square meters and hundreds of square meters. With its high brightness, LED display still remains working in the sunny daytime. Besides, it has the functional characteristics of windproof, rainproof and waterproof. Similarly, the indoor LED display is used indoors. But, what is the difference between the outdoor LED display and the indoor LED display?

1. What is the Indoor LED Display?

As the name implies, indoor LED refers to the large and medium-sized LED display screen equipment used indoors. For example, bank counters, supermarket promotion display boards, etc. These devices can be seen everywhere. The area of indoor LED display ranges from one square meter to more than ten square meters. For its density of luminous spots is relatively high, the performance of indoor LED display​ is slightly lower than the outdoor LED display.

2. What is the Outdoor LED Display?

The outdoor LED display refers to the display used outdoors. The brightness of outdoor display is high, which is dozens of times higher than that of indoor LED display. In addition, the outdoor LED display also have good functions of waterproof and heat dissipation. For technical installers, these details need to be explained to users when installing.

In addition, the area of the outdoor LED advertisement display will be much larger than indoor display for its luminous area is large. Correspondingly, there are the related problems of power consumption, maintenance, lightning protection, etc. It can be said that the outdoor LED advertisement display is not easy to maintain, which is also the main reason why we often travel around to provide after-sales service.

Moreover, the semi-outdoor LED display is generally installed in door heads for information spreading, which is applied to advertisement media in commercial stores. The pixel point size is between indoor and outdoor LED display. It is often used on the door head of banks, shopping malls or hospitals. The semi-outdoor LED display can be used outdoors without direct sunlight for its high luminous brightness. As it is well sealed, the screen body of LED display is generally installed under eaves or in window.

3. How to Distinguish the Outdoor Display and Indoor Display?

For users, how to better distinguish the two types of LED display? It can be achieved by observing the appearance. Basically, the outdoor display is the one with larger screen. The same is true of its dense luminous spots and high brightness. Similarly, under the help of maintainers, this problem can be solved too. Anyway, a lot of time can be saved by choosing a good LED display manufacturer which is also convenient for future maintenance.

Generally speaking, indoor display and outdoor display have a high range of use. With the characteristics of high brightness, low working voltage, low power consumption, large size, long service life, impact resistance and stable performance, LED display has brought great convenience to our life. I believe that indoor and outdoor LED display screens will also play a more important role in the future market. There are some aspects as follows:

1. Characteristics

First of all, let's talk about the indoor LED display. In the past, the indoor LED display was all surface-mounted. The characteristics of the indoor surface-mounted display are high-definition and colorful, but the disadvantage lies in the high price.

Outdoor display are mainly plug-in lights. Basically, indoor display is surface-mounted. Because of the higher outdoor daylight, the brightness of outdoor LED display is relatively stronger. So, the brightness of indoor display is not as high as outdoor one. The characteristics of outdoor and semi-outdoor module unit board: high brightness, waterproof, rich color. The disadvantage is that its installation requires technical guidance.

2. Brightness

If the indoor unit board is used outdoors, the brightness is far from meeting the requirements and it looks like it is not bright enough. The brightness of indoor unit board is much darker than outdoor LED unit board. However, when the outdoor unit board is used indoors, the brightness is too bright. So, please use indoor unit board as far as possible.

3. Waterproofing

The surface of outdoor products must be waterproof. So, the outdoor display is made up of waterproof boxes since the waterproof of outdoor display should be taken into consideration. Similarly, the indoor display may be made of boxes or not. If the boxes used outdoor are simple and cheaper, its back will not be waterproof enough. In this case, the border of box must be well covered. Generally, there is glue filling of these boxes, but not indoors.

4. Installation

According to different environmental conditions of users, there is a variety of installation methods of LED display, including wall-mounted, cantilever, inlaid, upright, standing, roof, mobile, arc and other installation methods. Indoor installation is convenient and simple with few styles which are relatively single. On the contrary, the installation of outdoor LED display is difficult and dangerous.

5. Price

The viewing distance of indoor LED display is generally not far. Therefore, its price is definitely higher than outdoor LED display for its higher definition. Generally, the viewing distance of outdoor LED display is relatively longer than those used at outdoors and it can't be seen clearly if the definition is too high. So, it is natural that there is a price difference among different types of LED display for they are customized according to the actual viewing distance.
