What is a DIP module and what are the advantages and disadvantages?

It means that the DIP package of the lamp will pass the lamp pin through the PCB board, through the welding will fill the tin in the lamp hole, by this process into the module is the plug lamp touch group, the advantages are: high brightness, good heat dissipation, the disadvantage is that the pixel density is small.



What is a SMD led module? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

SMD is also called SMT, which is a process of welding the SMT packaged lamp to the surface of the PCB board, without the lamp pin going through the PCB board.

The advantages: good display effect, high pixel density, suitable for indoor viewing 

The disadvantage is that the brightness is not high enough, and the heat dissipation of the lamp itself is not good enough.

What is bi-colour, pseudo-colour and full-colour display?

By different colours of light emitting diodes are able to form different displays, dual base colour is composed of red, green or yellow-green, pseudo-colour is composed of red, yellow-green, blue three different colours, full colour is composed of red, pure green, pure blue three different colours.


What is luminous intensity?

The intensity of light emitted by a unit area of an LED display, in CD/square metre, simply the intensity of light emitted by a square metre of display.


What are brightness levels?

The number of steps of manual or automatic adjustment of the brightness of the whole screen between the lowest and highest brightness.


What is a greyscale level?

The number of technical processing steps between the darkest and the brightest of a display at the same brightness level

What is maximum brightness?

The individual base colours of an LED display at maximum brightness and maximum grey level under a given ambient illumination.

The angle of view is the angle between the two viewing directions of the same plane and the normal direction when the brightness of the viewing direction drops to 1/2 of the brightness of the LED display normal. Divided into horizontal and vertical viewing angles.

The viewable angle is the direction in which the image content on the display can just be seen, and the angle made by the normal to the display. The best viewing angle is the position where the content of the display can be seen just right, without discolouration, at the vertical distance from the screen where the image content is clearest.

What is a Out-of-control dots? How many types are there?

Out-of-control dots are pixel dots where the luminous state does not match the control requirements. There are three types of out-of-control dots: blind dots (also known as dead dots), constant bright dots (or dark dots) and flashing dots.


What is a static drive? What is a scanning drive? What is the difference between the two?

The "point-to-point" control from the output pin of the driver IC to the pixel dots is called static drive, while the "point-to-column" control from the output pin of the driver IC to the pixel dots is called scan drive, which requires a line control circuit: it is clear from the driver board that.

Static drive does not need line control circuit, the cost is higher, but the display effect is good, good stability, less brightness loss, etc.; scan drive it needs line control circuit, but the cost is low, the display effect is poor, the brightness loss is larger, etc.

What is a constant current driver? What is constant voltage drive?

Constant current refers to the current value specified in the design of a constant output within the operating environment allowed by the driver IC; constant voltage refers to the voltage value specified in the design of a constant output within the operating environment allowed by the driver IC.

Brightness in brightness detection refers to the brightness of the environment where the LED display is located, through the light sensor, the display is currently located in the environment brightness detection, this detection method is called brightness detection.

The brightness in brightness adjustment refers to the brightness emitted by the LED display, the detected data is fed back to the LED display control system or control computer, and then the brightness of the display is adjusted according to this data, called brightness adjustment;.


What is a real pixel? What is a virtual pixel? What are the different types of virtual pixels? What is pixel sharing?

A real pixel is a 1:1 relationship between the number of physical pixel dots on a display and the actual number of pixel dots displayed, where the display can only show as many dots of image information as there are actual dots on the display. Virtual pixels are the number of physical pixels on the display and the actual number of pixels displayed in a 1:N (N = 2, 4) relationship, which can display two or four times more image pixels than the actual pixels on the display; virtual pixels can be divided according to the virtual way: software virtual and hardware virtual: according to the multiplication relationship is divided into 2 times virtual and 4 times virtual, according to the way the lights on a module are arranged is divided into. 1R1G1B virtual and 2R1G1B virtual.

What is remote control? Under what circumstances is it used?

Remote is not necessarily a long distance. Remote control includes both where the main console and the controlled end are within a local area network and the spatial distance is not far; and where the main console and the controlled end are within a relatively long spatial distance, and where the customer requires or, depending on the customer's control location, exceeds the distance of direct fibre optic control, then remote control is used.


What is fibre optic transmission? What is network cable transmission?

Optical fibre transmission is the exchange of electrical signals for optical signals using transparent glass fibres; network cable transmission is the direct transmission of electrical signals using metal wires.


When is a network cable used? When is fibre optic used?

When the wiring distance between the display and the control computer is less than 100 metres, use network cable transmission; when the distance between the two is less than 500 metres and more than 100 metres, use multi-mode optical fibre, when the distance is greater than 500 metres, use single-mode optical fibre.
