SMD Screen Overview
SMD screen is an acronym of the surface-mount device and is a light-emitting diode. It is the type of LED that uses SMT Technology, Now what is SMT? SMT is an acronym for Surface-Mount Technology. This form of LED is an arrangement of LED chips, which is a combination of PCB (Printed Circuit board).
The SMT is specifically designed for its own functional or combinational, compatibility unit when plugin together. SMT is a self-sufficient surface-mount LED device; this is the reason behind that the module of these LED devices called SMD Led screens.
Features of SMD
Wide color
They have wide color dispersion and amazingly adaptable white balance.
TIT technology
They consist of advanced triple trichromacy display technology; The SMD screen is capable of delivering more than a trillion colors.
Arista vision
They possess a changeable color temperature from 2500k to 10000k beyond the arista vision and have a high-density display range. It is convertible to curved display with different angles.
Types Of SMD Screen
There are two types of SMD screen.
- Indoor SMD Screen.
- Outdoor SMD Screen.
Indoor SMD Screen
Indoor SMD Screen is particularly thought out for indoor purposes, so that that it can be used in conference hall and shopping malls etc. The working efficiency and warranty of indoor ones are less than the outdoor SMD LED screen.
Outdoor SMD Screen
The Outdoor SMD screen is mainly designed for outdoor functioning. This current LED screen module technology is more reliable and dependable; Its performing capability is 100% in any weather conditions. Outdoor SMD LED is liquid and dust resistant and does not affect its performance. Its life is 5-10 years.
Advantages Of SMD Screen
- SMD technology offers good color consistency. Something we did miss in the DIP screens. A good color consistency ensures a resolution screen and a better picture quality.
- The screen has a good mixing color feature mainly because the lights are not individual LEDs, as was the case in the DIP screen.
- The Lightweight of the screen is another advantage. Since it is not bulky or heavy, thus lifting it from one place to another is easier.
- The production process of SMD Outdoor LED signage is easier as well.
- In comparison to DIP’s, they have 110 degrees of viewing angle in the horizontal direction and offers 120 degrees of viewing angle in the same direction.
- The difference of 10 degrees does make a great difference and thus a better impact.
Disadvantages Of SMD Screen
- Like DIP screens, SMD screens also come with some negative points.
- SMD displays require a high antistatic level. Higher the level, the greater the complications.
- Stability is a big problem for the SMD screen.
- SMD does not have a longer shelf life.
- The modern SMD screens, including SMD2525, SMD2727, SMD2828, SMD3535, and SMD1921, did have issues initially, but with time, the market approved them. It seems now they are acceptable.
Price Range Of SMD Screen
SMD Screens are not common yet in Pakistan, and its price is a little high as for indoor Screens, but for outdoor, advertisement, and showcasing purposes, it is worth buying in spite of the price.
Conclusion
The Lightweight SMD screen with a wider visual angle and better output quality are still struggling only because of their low shelf life and reliability issue. Of course, things will change, but until then, DIP technology is there to make up for what SMD is missing. So, we believe that in the future, people would prefer SMD over DIP. SMD might be the new cool thing in, but it is going to take a long time before it can drive DIP Outdoor LED signage out of the market. If you have a viewing distance of more than 10 meters, a DIP screen will do. However, for lesser viewing distance, try using SMD displays.
