关于LED显示屏问题

1. What is LED?

LED refers to light-emitting diodes. The LED in the display industry refers to LEDs that can emit visible wavelengths.

 

2. What is a pixel?

The smallest light-emitting unit of an LED display has the same meaning as the pixel in an ordinary computer monitor.

 

3. What is the pixel pitch (dot pitch)?

The center distance between two adjacent pixels. The smaller the distance, the shorter the visible distance. People in the industry usually abbreviate P to indicate the dot pitch. For example, Liancheng's new product P1.667 has a pointing pitch of 1.667mm.

 

4. What is pixel density?

Is also called dot matrix density, usually refers to the number of pixels per square meter of the display screen.

10. What is a plug-in module, and what are the advantages and disadvantages?

It means that the DIP packaged lamp passes the lamp pin through the PCB board, and fills the tin into the lamp hole by soldering. The module made by this process is the plug-in lamp module. The advantages are: high brightness, good heat dissipation, but the disadvantages are The pixel density is small.

 

11: What is a surface mount module? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Surface mount is also called SMT. The SMT packaged lamp is welded on the surface of the PCB board through a welding process, and the lamp pins do not need to pass through the PCB board. The module made by this process is called a surface mount module. The advantage is: good display effect. The pixel density is large, 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.

26: What is contrast?

The ratio of the maximum brightness of the LED display to the background brightness under a certain environmental illumination.

 

27. What is color temperature?

When the color emitted by the light source is the same as the black body at a certain temperature, the temperature of the black body is called the color temperature of the light source.

 

28. What is chromatic aberration?

The LED display screen is composed of red, green and blue to produce various colors, but these three colors are made of different materials, the viewing angle is different, and the spectral distribution of different LEDs are changed. These differences that can be observed are called For the color difference. When observing the LED from a certain angle, its color changes. The human eye's ability to judge the color of the real picture (such as a movie picture) is better than observing the picture produced by a computer.

The number of times the display screen is repeatedly displayed on the display screen in unit time;

 

31: What is a perspective? What is the viewing angle? What is the best perspective?

The viewing angle is when the brightness of the viewing direction drops to 1/2 of the brightness of the normal line of the LED display. The angle formed by the two viewing directions of the same plane and the normal direction. Divided into horizontal and vertical viewing angles; the viewing angle is just the direction in which the image content on the display can be seen, and the angle formed by the normal of the display. The best viewing angle is to be able to just see the content on the display, and not flat, the angle formed by the clearest direction of the image content and the normal;

 

32: What is the best viewing distance?

Is the vertical distance of the clearest position of the image content relative to the screen body that can just see the content on the display screen completely without flat color:

 

33: What is the point of out of control? How many kinds?

Pixels whose light-emitting state does not meet the control requirements, out-of-control points are divided into three types: blind spots (also known as dead spots) and constant bright spots (or dark spots);

 

34. What is a static drive:? What is a scan driver? What is the difference between the two?

The “point-to-point” control from the output pin of the driver IC to the pixel point is called static driving, and the “point-to-column” control from the output pin of the driver IC to the pixel point is called scan driving. It needs a row control circuit: It can be clearly seen from the driver board that static driving does not require a line control circuit, which is costly, but has good display effect, good stability, and low brightness loss; scanning driving requires a line control circuit, but the cost is low. Poor effect, high brightness loss, etc.;

 

35. What is constant current drive? What is constant voltage drive?

Constant current refers to the constant output current value specified in the design of the driver IC in the allowable working environment: constant voltage refers to the constant output voltage value specified in the design of the driver IC in the allowable working environment;

38. What is nonlinear correction?

If the digital signal output by the computer is displayed on the LED display without correction, there will be color distortion, so in the system control circuit, the original computer output signal is calculated through a non-linear function to calculate the signal required by the display. Because of the nonlinear relationship between the front and rear signals, we often call it nonlinear correction.

 

39. What is the rated working voltage? What is the working voltage? What is the supply voltage?

The rated working voltage refers to the voltage when the voltage is used for normal operation; the working voltage refers to the voltage value of the electrical appliance in the rated voltage range and when working normally: the power supply voltage is divided into AC and tributary power supply voltages.

Refers to the difference between the display of the same object in the natural world and the display on the human eye.

 

41: What is a synchronous system and what is an asynchronous system?

Synchronous and asynchronous are relative to the computer. The so-called synchronous system refers to the LED display control system that displays the content displayed on the display screen and the computer monitor synchronously; the asynchronous system refers to the pre-stored display data edited by the computer In the display control system, the normal display of the LED display will not be affected after the computer is shut down. Such a control system is an asynchronous control system

 

42. What is blind spot detection technology?

Through the upper software and the underlying hardware, it can detect the blind spots (LED open circuit and short circuit) on the display screen, and form a report to tell the LED screen manager. Such a technology is called blind spot detection technology;

Through the upper software and the underlying hardware, the working conditions of each power supply on the display can be detected, and a report can be formed to tell the LED screen manager. Such a technology is called power detection technology

 

44. What is brightness detection? What is brightness adjustment?

The brightness in the brightness detection refers to the brightness of the environment where the LED display is located. The light sensor detects the brightness of the environment where the display is currently located. This detection method is called brightness detection; the brightness mentioned in the brightness adjustment refers to the LED display The emitted brightness and the detected data are fed back to the LED display control system or control computer, and then the brightness of the display is adjusted according to this data, which is called brightness adjustment;

 

45. What is a real pixel? What is a virtual pixel? What kinds of virtual pixels are there? What is pixel sharing?

Real pixels refer to the 1:1 relationship between the number of physical pixels on the display screen and the actual pixels displayed. How many pixels are actually displayed on the display screen can only display image information. Virtual pixel refers to the 1:N (N=2, 4) relationship between the number of physical pixels of the display screen and the number of pixels actually displayed. It can display image pixels 2 or 4 times more than the actual pixels of the display screen; virtual Pixels can be divided into software virtual and hardware virtual according to the way of virtual: according to the multiple relationship, it is divided into 2 times virtual and 4 times virtual, according to the row of lights on a module, it is divided into: 1R1G1B virtual and 2R1G1B virtual;
