COB LED display
COB (Chip on Board) is the latest display technology. It is made by sticking multiple LED chips onto a PCB circuit board and filling the gaps with encapsulation materials such as epoxy resin and silicone to form a protective layer to protect the LED chips.
LED displays made using COB technology are called COB LED displays. This LED display type can produce a pixel pitch of less than 1mm, giving the display a high degree of clarity and color reproduction. Even when viewed at close range, there is no obvious graininess, providing you with clear and vivid details.
The manufacturing process for COB LED displays is not as mature as that for SMD LED displays, so it is the most expensive type of LED display among all display technologies.
Classified by color
Monochrome LED display
Monochrome LED displays can only display one color, which is mostly red, green, blue, or white. This LED display type have a single color and can only display simple numbers and text content. It is mainly used in areas such as bus signage and hotel signage.
Two-color LED display
Two-color LED displays can only insert red and green LED light beads. The colors mixed from these two colors are much richer than those of monochrome LED displays and can display more dynamic text and digital effects. They are mainly used in LED signage in buildings, transportation, banks, schools, etc.
Full-color LED display
Full-color LED displays can display a variety of colors. They mainly use SMD technology, which gives them 8-bit color channels and more than 16 million color combinations, with high color depth and reproduction, bringing you a colorful display. In addition, full-color LED displays can adapt to various scenarios and are a popular LED display type in modern times.
Classified by usage scenario
Indoor LED display
Indoor LED displays, as the name suggests, are LED displays used in indoor scenarios. This LED display type mainly uses indoor LED modules, which have a relatively small pixel pitch and excellent clarity, bringing you an excellent close-up viewing experience.
