We’ll bring you to know more about the LED display modules from these points as below:

The led display components, module classification of application, led display screen sizes & some suggestions if we could offer.

Four Parts Ultimate Inroduction Guide of LED Display Modules:

Part One : LED Display Module Components

The LED screen module is one of the main components of the finished LED display! Mainly composed of LEDs, PCB, IC, Frame, Connector, Cables, Screws, resistors and capacitors!

1. LEDs: Can be divided into DIP LEDs,SMD LEDs and GOB LEDs

DIP LEDs is dual in-line package. Generally speaking, DIP LEDs are mainly used for outdoor displays with large pixel pitch like P10, P16 and P20.

DIP346 is the LEDs that we adopted for our LED screen Modules with brightness over 7000-10,000cd/m2.

SMD LED is a surface-mount light-emitting diode. We have 3 different brands of SMD LEDs from different packaging companies.

For the Indoor Module, we have San’an, Kinglight, and Nationstar LEDs available.

For the Outdoor Module, we have Kinglight, Nationstar Copper Wire, and Nationstar Golden Wire LEDs available.

Furthermore, we have different sizes of SMD LEDs suitable for different applications.

For indoor, we have SMD1010, SMD1515, SMD2020 and for outdoor, we have SMD1921, SMD2525(only available for Kinglight), SMD2727, SMD3535. Below are the LED pictures for your reference.

Take our SMD1010 for example, the apparent size is 1.0×1.0×0.65mm, the size is small, and it can be used as a screen with a smaller pitch, which is more suitable for the field of indoor high-definition LED display.

As for SMD3535,the apparent size is 3.5×3.5×2.8mm, the size is much bigger than SMD1010. It suitable for Outdoor P6,P8 and P10 LED Display.

GOB LEDs is the abbreviation of glue on board. It has transparent material on the led module surface. It protects LED lamps and makes module waterproof.

The Advantage of GOB LEDs is that GOB LEDs is hard to damage because of Glue protection. so some customers use GOB LED for Rental LED Display.

The disadvantage of GOB LEDs is that the GOB LED Module is hard to repair when the LED is broken, and the LED module contrast is not as good as the SMD LED Module.

2. IC is an integrated circuit,it’s small black blocks with pins on the circuit board.

For Outdoor LED Module, our standard IC is ICN2038S IC and for Indoor LED Module, our standard IC is ICN2037IC with both refresh rate at 1920HZ.

We have also MBI5124IC,ICN2153IC and MIB5153IC available for a higher refresh rate to 3840Hz.
