When people are looking for to buy led screen, they will be confirmed with indoor LED displays or outdoor LED displays. Do you know why the questions arise? What is the difference between them?
Theoretically indoor LED displays are always used in indoor occasions, and outdoor LED screens are used outdoors. actually, in addition to this basic difference, they have great differences in product specifications, brightness, characteristics, product technology, use, installation protection measures, etc. Here are some explanations for your better understanding.
| Category | Indoor LED Displays | Outard LED Displays |
|---|---|---|
| Pixel Pitch | Smaller (P0.6 to P4) | Larger (P2.5 to P10) |
| – Close viewing distance (e.g., P1.2 for meetings) | – Long viewing distance (e.g., P10 for billboards) | |
| Brightness | 600-1,500 nits | 5,000-10,000+ nits |
| – Avoid glare in low-light environments | – High brightness for sunlight readability | |
| Technology | COB/GOB / SMD |
SMD |
| – COB: Better protection, seamless for fine pitch | ||
| Applications | – Conference rooms | – Billboards |
| – Retail stores | – Stadiums | |
| – TV studios | – Transportation hubs | |
| Installation | – Wall-mounted | – Wall Mounted |
| – Hanging ceilings | – Pole-mounted | |
| – Mobile foldable screens | – Mobile Truss/ Truck/ Trailer |
This difference mainly refers to the fact that indoor LED displays usually use products with smaller pixel pitch, while outdoor LED displays usually use products with larger pixel pitch, because for indoor applications, people always have a close viewing distance, and also with higher resolution request to reach best viewing experience, and the main LED display screens used have a pixel pitch of P4, P3, P2.5, P2, P1.8, P1.6, P1.5, P1.25, and micro led wall with P0.9, P0.7 and P0.6 etc.
While for outdoor occasions, the viewing distance is usually very far, reaching more than 10 meters or even more. So bigger pixel pitch is always recommended like P4 P5, P6, P8, P10, but people are seeking for better viewing effect, and now P1.5 P1.9 P2.5 P3 are now promising.
Due to the general lighting indoors, the brightness of indoor LED displays was not too high at the beginning of product design. The brightness of outdoor LED displays takes into account the influence of factors such as direct sunlight, and the brightness will be relatively high to ensure that the display content can still be seen clearly under strong light during the day. The difference in brightness is also another difference in the product itself besides the difference in dot spacing.
Indoor LED displays require more refinement and stability, so the lamination process is usually added. At the same time, some small-pitch products will also use COB packaging technology, the purpose is to reduce the dead light rate of lamp beads and reduce the after-sales rate.
Outdoor LED displays use more traditional surface-mount packaging in the packaging process, but it will increase the glue filling process, which is to achieve the effect of waterproofing. After all, the screens used outdoors are exposed to wind and sun all year round, so they must reach a certain waterproof level, and glue filling is a common measure.
Indoor LED display screens are widely used. In addition to conventional advertising display, they are also used in various fields such as conferences, big data display, command and monitoring centers, media publicity, etc., and their uses are more extensive. This is also because the LED dot spacing used indoors is very small, so there are corresponding specifications to choose from in various uses.
Outdoor LED display screens are basically used for advertising and text display. Display screens for playing product advertisements in outdoor squares and display screens for displaying train information in public places such as stations are typical outdoor screen applications.
Indoor LED display screens are also very different from outdoor LED display screens in installation. For example, indoor screens have box-type structures in addition to modules. They can be embedded in the wall during installation, can be installed against the wall, or can be installed with a separate bracket. In the installation of outdoor LED display screens, some need to make columns and some need to consider waterproof measures. At the same time, considering the outdoor temperature in summer, air conditioning and other heat dissipation equipment will be added.
In general, there are many differences between indoor LED screens and outdoor LED screens, and they are not only different at the product level, but also in specific installation, product technology, and usage. Therefore, when we choose which specification of LED screen to use, whether it is used indoors or outdoors is still a prerequisite factor, and we can choose the appropriate product based on this.
