LED technology (Light Emitting Diode) has radically revolutionised the world of lighting and, with the emergence of high quality, efficient, bright and affordable displays, has also generated innovative visual solutions for indoor and outdoor use.
Today, these new electronic screens are not only a valuable innovation for consumer electronics and daily routines, but also a powerful marketing tool for creating enlightening text, images, videos and other visual information of great quality, as the LED display Macropix, for example, demonstrate, as well as an important ally for many sectors (retail, healthcare, transport, sports, cinema and entertainment, education, industry, design, etc.) that choose this technology for various specific purposes.
Why LED Technology Displays Are Replacing Old LCD Screens?
LED Technology Displays: Features and Functionality
While an LCD display utilises liquid crystal technology, LED dot light displays consist of individually controlled panels of diodes with red, green and blue chips. The combination of these colours creates millions of shades, dimming and brightening the colours of the sub-pixels, which generate vivid images on the flat panel display. Some of the most popular types of LED displays include:
- Direct display models: mainly used in maxi outdoor displays;
- Backlit LED displays: which mix LED and LCD technology;
- SMD models: screens with individual LEDs mounted on a single surface that provide very high resolution and clarity;
- OLED displays: with organic LEDs for sharper colours, deeper blacks and ultra-thin designs.
Novelties include flexible and foldable LED displays, transparent LED screens and Micro LEDs, a sort of hybrid between LCD and OLED, for next-generation TVs, full HD monitors and even smart glasses.
Why Choose the New LED Technology Displays?
In addition to their great attractiveness to the viewer compared to more traditional solutions, LED displays provide other important benefits. First of all, with more than fifteen million colours, they offer very high image quality and excellent colour contrasts with different levels of resolution.
In addition, since they are very powerful, they ensure maximum visibility and uniformity of illumination even in particularly strong outdoor light.
Great durability (they can run for years without any problems), lightness, compactness and clean, innovative design are other values that make LED technology displays one of the best in their category. Further outstanding elements are the higher viewing angle (up to 178 degrees), extremely short response times, anti-flicker functionality that reduces eye fatigue during viewing, and the very low maintenance required.
Finally, LED screens are in line with the new global demands for sustainability: they produce no emissions (being a mercury free technology), consume little energy and have total energy management, for a positive reduction in consumption and costs.
In addition, they are environmentally friendly and easy to dispose of at the end of their life and can also be powered by renewable energy, thus promoting less use of environmentally harmful fossil fuels.
