Any surface canbe an LED screen

Monday, December 1st, 2008

 

Now you can help your customers turn any surface into a screen for advertising and entertainment. The flexible LED display shown here can be shaped around any angle or obstruction to fit walls and ceilings as closely as a coat of paint.

And that’s not the only selling point:
• Tiny 4 x 4cm pixels give greater resolution
• Brightness of over 40cd/m2 per pixel makes for clearer viewing
• IP67-rated waterproofing allows for outdoor installation

Each pixel module is age-tested for 72 hours at 60ºC and then for another 15 days at room temperature. This ensures that our displays can stand up to extreme weather without a glitch. Since we released this model in 2007, it’s already been installed at venues in the US, mainland China and Macau.

ABC of LED display products

Saturday, September 6th, 2008


Above is module for P10mm T-virtual which applied for outdoor use, as we all know, it is for three lamps, the pixel for this is 16*16, size will be 160mm*160mm, in fact P10mm is the abbreviation for pitch 10mm, or you can say ph10mm.

 P10 mm means the pitch for it is for 10mm, may be it will be difficult to understand what does mean for “pitch” for novice, hereby it will be my honor to introduce for you especially help novice know more about LED products

 Pitch means the distance between the neighbor pixel(ps: not refer the distance between the distance neighbor lamps) because each pixel will include four lamps, and each pixel for some contain three lamps(just like the P10 module pic above), pls see as follow:

The first one pixel for kins of four lamps, the other pixel for kinds of three lamps, hope these cam help you understand more about our products even LED display

 One total display compose many cabinets, the cabinet is made up of module, so actually, the module is the fist step to complete the display

 

Hope you can understand more about these, and of course you are interested in the LED display(for a novice), pls feel free to contact with us, we can offer more for you, make you know more about this kind of product.

What is a Diode?

Monday, September 1st, 2008

A diode is the simplest sort of semiconductor device. Broadly speaking, a semiconductor is a material with a varying ability to conduct electrical current. Most semiconductors are made of a poor conductor that has had impurities (atoms of another material) added to it. The process of adding impurities is called doping.

In the case of LEDs, the conductor material is typically aluminum-gallium-arsenide (AlGaAs). In pure aluminum-gallium-arsenide, all of the atoms bond perfectly to their neighbors, leaving no free electrons (negatively-charged particles) to conduct electric current. In doped material, additional atoms change the balance, either adding free electrons or creating holes where electrons can go. Either of these additions make the material more conductive.

A semiconductor with extra electrons is called N-type material, since it has extra negatively-charged particles. In N-type material, free electrons move from a negatively-charged area to a positively charged area.

A semiconductor with extra holes is called P-type material, since it effectively has extra positively-charged particles. Electrons can jump from hole to hole, moving from a negatively-charged area to a positively-charged area. As a result, the holes themselves appear to move from a positively-charged area to a negatively-charged area.

A diode comprises a section of N-type material bonded to a section of P-type material, with electrodes on each end. This arrangement conducts electricity in only one direction. When no voltage is applied to the diode, electrons from the N-type material fill holes from the P-type material along the junction between the layers, forming a depletion zone. In a depletion zone, the semiconductor material is returned to its original insulating state — all of the holes are filled, so there are no free electrons or empty spaces for electrons, and charge can’t flow.

At the junction, free electrons from the N-type material fill holes from the P-type material. This creates an insulating layer in the middle of the diode called the depletion zone.

To get rid of the depletion zone, you have to get electrons moving from the N-type area to the P-type area and holes moving in the reverse direction. To do this, you connect the N-type side of the diode to the negative end of a circuit and the P-type side to the positive end. The free electrons in the N-type material are repelled by the negative electrode and drawn to the positive electrode. The holes in the P-type material move the other way. When the voltage difference between the electrodes is high enough, the electrons in the depletion zone are boosted out of their holes and begin moving freely again. The depletion zone disappears, and charge moves across the diode.
When the negative end of the circuit is hooked up to the N-type layer and the positive end is hooked up to P-type layer, electrons and holes start moving and the depletion zone disappears.

If you try to run current the other way, with the P-type side connected to the negative end of the circuit and the N-type side connected to the positive end, current will not flow. The negative electrons in the N-type material are attracted to the positive electrode. The positive holes in the P-type material are attracted to the negative electrode. No current flows across the junction because the holes and the electrons are each moving in the wrong direction. The depletion zone increases. (See How Semiconductors Work for more information on the entire process.)


When the positive end of the circuit is hooked up to the N-type layer and the negative end is hooked up to the P-type layer, free electrons collect on one end of the diode and holes collect on the other. The depletion zone gets bigger.

The interaction between electrons and holes in this setup has an interesting side effect — it generates light! In the next section, we’ll find out exactly why this is.

what’s the main cause of uniformity problems in LED displays

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

LED fullcolor display are amazing with it’s bright enough to see in broad daylight;stand up to severe weather conditions and pwoer less. But as two sides of a coin, LED have her biggest disadvantage—-Uniformity of Luminance and Color.

The root cause of luminance and color uniformity problems in LED screens is the LEDs themselves. Modern manufacturing processes for LEDs produce LEDs that vary greatly in both brightness and color. For example, when you apply the same electrical current to two green LEDs produced as part of the same batch, the brightness may vary by as much as 50% and the wavelength may vary by as much as 15-20 nanometers. These differences are very noticeable and LEDs that vary by this much should not be used in the same video screen.

By contrast, televisions, which rely on phosphors to produce brightness and color, do not have this problem. The phosphors in each pixel produce nearly the same brightness and color when hit with the same amount of energy from the cathode ray gun. Since the pixel response in CRT devices is very repeatable, the uniformity of CRTs is very high. (See the first line of pixels in Figure 1 below.)

LED screens, however, have two problems as mentioned above. First, the brightness of each LED varies widely even though they are driven by the same voltage and current. (See the second line of pixels in Figure 1, where the brightness of each LED is represented by different size dots.) Second, the colors of the LEDs are also quite variable. (See line 3.) When you add these two problems together (See line 4), you can see why achieving uniformity in a LED screen is so difficult. Imagine viewing a TV where the phosphor dots are different sizes and different colors. It would not be a pretty sight, just like some LED screens you may have seen.

Another cause of non-uniformity in LED screens is that the LEDs get slightly dimmer as they are used (see Figure 2). The blue LEDs dim the most and the red LEDs dim the least, but the biggest problem is that individual LEDs dim differently over time. So, even if an LED screen were perfectly uniform when it left the factory, it would loses its uniformity as the LEDs dim, and after about 2 years of usage it would begin to look quite non-uniform.

LED display Pixel by Pixel Correction Technology (PPCT)

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Because of technology of LED chip or chip’s encapsulation, and some time as cover and lamps site, every lamps every modules color and brightness will have some differ, also because of used about a period of time, every colors lamps have different rate of attenuation, also will destroy LED screen’s color and lighteness uniformity.

So with a method to correction every module every dot after finished pixels is necessary. Ours latest Pixel by Pixel Correction Technology (PPCT) make it very well. Before a cabinet we correction every modules to make sure uniformity, every cabinet adjust, and after aging 3 days the last correction in factory.

After used a period of time or replacing some part of LED display, Pixel by Pixel Correction Technology (PPCT) also can give you stately uniformity.
