In the digital display industry, LED displays are recognized as one of the most popular and effective tools for advertising, information dissemination, and entertainment. But did you know that most LED displays are built on two main technologies? These two technologies are: DIP (Dual In-line Package) and SMD (Surface-Mounted Device).
In this article from Big Screen Solutions, we will explore the differences between these two technologies, helping you choose the best type of LED screen based on your project’s needs.
What is DIP LED Display?
DIP LED Displays use individual light-emitting diodes that physically protrude from the surface of the module. This technology was widely used in the past and is still utilized in some outdoor projects.
Key Features of DIP LED Displays:
- High brightness, suitable for outdoor environments
- High resistance to weather conditions like wind, rain, and direct sunlight
- Traditional design with base installation structure
Drawbacks:
- Limited viewing angle compared to newer models
- Higher power consumption
- Less colour accuracy
What is SMD LED Display?
SMD technology is the next generation of LED displays where each pixel consists of a combination of red, green, and blue diodes in a small chip. This design results in better image quality and a more uniform appearance.
Advantages of SMD LED Displays:
- Very high image quality with precise color combination
- Much wider viewing angle
- Lower power consumption in long-term use
- More modern design with a smooth and uniform appearance
