Indoor LED Display

The indoor LED display refers to the LED screens used in indoor environments.  Compared to the outdoor LED screens, the Indoor mesh screen can produce clear, quality images with less brightness between 200 to 1200 nits. This is because indoor environments have controlled lighting and do not require the high brightness of the outdoor LED display. They can be used in places such as shopping malls, airports.

Outdoor LED Display

Even under harsh weather conditions, the outdoor LED display can be used in public spaces. They are found in highways, transportation hubs. They have a brightness between 5,000- 10,000 nits which enables a clear visual display even under direct sunlight.

How Does A Commercial LED Display Work?

Each pixel consists of a red, blue and green light which combine to form full color when light passes through. 

Some aspects that make the Commercial LED display unique include.

Pixel Pitch

The distance between each pixel is known as pixel pitch. When the distance is smaller, the quality of the image becomes higher. The usual distance ranges from 1.5mm to 10mm.

The Brightness

The standard measurement for the brightness less is in nits, and the higher the brightness level, the more the images displayed can be seen clearly in an outdoor environment.

Resolution

Many tiny pixels come together to make up an image and the amount of pixels that make up one image is called resolution. It is usually measured in Pixels per inch (PPI) or Pixels per meter (PPM). A better resolution means a better image.
