Choosing right type of transparent LED screen, something you need to know.

What is transparent LED screen?

Literally, the transparent screen means that the LED display itself is transparent, and the back scene can be seen from the front of the LED display. The most basic requirement is that the screen can display video content without blocking the light or the view on both sides.

Due to the structure of the pixel, there are different forms of transparent screens.

Now the transparent screen has become a general concept. Sometimes customers only know that they need a transparent effect, but they often feel confused as to which one to use.

Now let us introduce the transparent LED screen in detail, so that you can better understand the transparent display and learn to choose the best display.

Most-used transparent LED screens

Indoor high-definition transparent display (CLEAR series)

The earliest transparent LED screen(CLEAR series) evolved from the conventional indoor LED display. By transforming the conventional display module into a module with certain transparency, the entire screen has some transparency. It retains the higher resolution of the indoor display.

The display module is constructed with very thin PCB strips. All the pixels are distributed on the horizontal strips. Therefore, only by increasing the distance between the vertical strips as much as possible can get a higher transparency rate.

So the horizontal and vertical pixel pitches are not equal, and the most widely used pitch is P3.9/7.8mm (Horizontally 3.8mm, vertically 7.8mm.) Nowadays, there are also higher resolutions such as P1.9/3.8mm, P2.8/5.6mm, etc. As an indoor LED display, it can be installed behind any window or glass wall and can be created a stunning video screen without blocking the line of sight.

Outdoor high-definition transparent display (HM series)

What if the strips of the transparent screen module are transformed into an outdoor form?

It is what we call strip curtain screen(HM series).

The thin LED strips are embedded in very narrow aluminum profiles. The aluminum profile can be filled with glue to achieve the effect of waterproofing.

However, because of the additional thickness of the aluminum strip, the resolution of outdoor screens is lower than the indoor type, such as the more commonly used P15.6/15.6, P15.6/31.25mm, and so on.

It can be directly exposed outdoors, and its transparency is average. Transparency may not be the most important factor to consider, but compared to conventional LED displays, it also has some features that conventional displays do not have.

It features lightweight because of its aluminum profile structure, good heat dissipation, no need for additional air conditioning, and simple installation structure. Therefore, people will also choose them on outdoor cement walls without considering the transparency.

Dot-style flexible transparent LED display (DM series)

If it is to install a very large area on a ​​glass wall, are there other options?

In this case, there is no need for high resolution in one square meter square, only requesting a good resolution in the entire building facade, which is more than thousands of square meters.

This is our most popular dot-style media mesh transparent screen(DM series).

The pixel pitch is very large, from P40 to P150mm, and individual pixels are distributed independently and dot-shaped. The advantage of the dot is that when the resolution is lower than P50, in order to be able to watch during the day, multiple LEDs can be placed in the dot to increase the overall brightness of the screen.

Another huge advantage for Dot-style mesh is that because the pixel pitch is so big, a single module can be made very long. So the module can be made folded, which is also very convenient for transportation and installation.

How to choose right transparent LED display?

First of all, where do you plan to install the transparent screen?

The specific installation environment determines the type of transparent screen.

For example, if it is indoor such as retail shops or shopping malls, we generally choose a standard size CLEAR series indoor high-definition 1000*500mm or 1000*1000mm transparent led display panels.

If it can be fixed on the exterior building facade and requires high brightness and is able to play clear advertisements, we can use an outdoor high-definition transparent advertising screen.

If it is a large-format media facade, the ultra-high transparent Dot-style media mesh is a fantastic choice, which provides different models for daytime or only night-time viewing.

If it is standing on the ground, we choose a transparent LED poster. Its size can also be customized, or it can be made into a double-sided display.

If the designer has a special creative shape design to fit the building, it is capable to customize the transparent screen even for all types.

Secondly, we have to consider, how much brightness does the screen need?

If it is installed in a shop facing the street or on a glass wall, and the audience needs to watch it during the day, the brightness of the transparent screen must be at least 5000 nits.

If the glass led screen is only for indoor viewing, about 1000nits is enough.

For an outdoor transparent led screen especially under direct sunlight, we have to consider 8000 nits.

For a low-resolution large media facade, it is usually for night-time viewing. 600~1500 nits are enough.

In addition, we have to consider what resolution is appropriate?

The resolution determines the pixel pitch of the product and brightness, and it is also much related to the price.

So we’d better ask the below questions.

What kind of video content does the screen display?

Simple color changing and animations don’t need high resolution.

How far do people watch the screen?

The closer the people watch the screen, the higher resolution it needs.

Summary of transparent LED display installation places

Transparent led displays provide an effective and eye-catching alternative to large-size LED screens.

The 60-90% high transparency feature is particularly powerful when integrated into a glass wall, enabling designers to provide screen solutions without detracting from the overall design.

The transparent screen can be freely customized according to your interior architecture, regardless of size, from small displays to huge transparent LED video screens, or even overhead canopies.

Transparent led display is becoming more and more popular and its market share is increasing.

However, there are still some customers who are still don’t know how to integrate the transparent screen into their own scene design.

The following is a summary of the places to use LED transparent displays.

Shop windows (Storefronts)

Transparent LED screens are ideal for indoor shop window displays, because it allows natural light to pass through, creating a natural indoor atmosphere, while still providing attractive and eye-catching digital video on the front of the display.

The high-bright version of the transparent screen can also be installed on the glass wall facing the street to provide bright and eye-catching images and information to street traffic.

It opens up new creative options that cannot be achieved with LCD screens and other LED screens.

The cool design can attract people’s attention, make them stop, and stimulate impulsive buying behavior.
