Illuminate Your Vision, Personalize Your Display: The Custom LED Screen Process

DATE: Sep, 01, 2024

1. Determine Core Use and Installation Scenarios  

First, clarify the core purpose and installation scenario of the LED screen, as this will directly impact its size, shape, brightness, resolution, and other key characteristics. Its important to consider viewing distance, as this determines readability and clarity. Additionally, different environmental factors such as lighting, waterproofing, and dustproofing need to be considered for indoor and outdoor environments. Detailed considerations include:

   - Usage Scenario Positioning: Determine where the LED screen will be used, whether indoors (such as conference rooms, exhibition halls, shopping malls, TV studios, etc.), outdoors (such as squares, building facades, billboards, etc.), or in special venues (such as stages, concerts, sporting events, etc.). Clarify lighting conditions, ventilation, and any special protective requirements, such as explosion-proofing.

   - Content Display Type: Consider the type of content that will primarily be displayed, such as text, charts, static images, real-time data, or high-definition video and dynamic images.

   - Viewing Distance Match: Select the appropriate pixel pitch based on the expected distance between the audience and the screen to ensure optimal display quality.

   - Size and Shape Design: Determine the specific size and shape of the screen based on the installation space (e.g., standard rectangular, custom-shaped, curved, embedded designs, or modular designs).

   - Functional Requirements: Confirm whether advanced features like interactive functionality, remote control, multi-screen linkage, 3D display, glasses-free 3D, HDR, etc., are needed.

   - Environmental Adaptability: Consider the lighting conditions, climate (such as temperature, humidity, dustproofing, waterproofing, lightning protection), power supply, and installation method (e.g., wall-mounted, suspended, embedded) of the installation site.

 

2. Choose the Right LED Display  

Select the appropriate screen size, shape, and resolution based on specific needs. Pay attention to key parameters like brightness, contrast, and color gamut to ensure the screen delivers excellent visual effects in various environments. If high-definition video or images need to be displayed, a high resolution will provide clearer and more realistic image quality. Specific steps include:

   - Pixel Pitch Selection: Choose the appropriate pixel pitch based on viewing distance and clarity requirements. Providing a pixel pitch and viewing distance matching guide can help in selecting the most suitable pitch.

   - Display Technology: Available technologies include direct view, SMD surface mount, COB encapsulation, GOB encapsulation, Micro/Mini LED, etc. A brief explanation of these technologies can be included to help readers understand.

   - Screen Structure: Available screen types include standard fixed installation screens, rental screens (for quick setup and teardown), transparent screens, flexible screens, grille screens, adhesive screens, holographic screens, spherical screens, and more.

   - Color Types: Choose between single-color, dual-color, or full-color displays based on your needs.

 

3. Create Personalized Display Content  

Design unique content for the LED screen, including images, text, animations, and other formats, depending on the screens intended use. Engaging a professional designer can ensure the content is both brand-appropriate and visually appealing. Specific steps include:

   - Communicate with the LED Screen Supplier: Provide detailed information about your requirements. The supplier will offer an initial design plan based on these requirements, covering aspects such as screen model, size, installation method, control system, etc.

   - Blueprint Review and Confirmation: Carefully review and confirm the design blueprints, renderings, and structural diagrams to ensure they meet the installation environment and expected performance.

   - Technical Parameter Verification: Cross-check key technical parameters such as brightness, grayscale level, refresh rate, contrast ratio, viewing angle, protection level, and add advanced calibration features like uniformity adjustment and frame synchronization to ensure accuracy.

   - Consider Interactivity and Creativity: To enhance audience interaction and engagement, consider integrating interactive devices like touchscreens and sensors. Additionally, creative multimedia effects and animation designs can further increase the screens appeal.

 

4. Select Appropriate Mounting Brackets and Installation Methods  

Choose the appropriate mounting brackets and installation methods based on the screen size and installation location. Ensure the screen is securely and safely installed on the wall or floor while also considering the impact of installation angles on viewing angle and brightness.

 

5. Communicate with the Manufacturer and Customize the Product  

Find a reliable LED screen manufacturer or supplier and provide them with detailed requirements and customization needs, along with comprehensive design plans and parameters, so the manufacturer can accurately meet your needs. When providing "comprehensive design plans and parameters," list specific technical specifications such as LED type, control system type, power supply method, cooling design, etc. Discuss specific matters such as pricing and delivery timelines with the supplier,

 

and formalize these details in a contract. The supplier will proceed with production according to the confirmed design plan, ensuring the product quality meets the contractual specifications.

 

6. Installation, Inspection, and Commissioning  

Before the screen is officially put into use, conduct thorough inspections and commissioning. Check whether the display quality, brightness, color, and other parameters meet the standards, and ensure all functionalities operate smoothly without any faults or issues.

   - On-Site Inspection: Send engineers to the installation site to conduct a field survey, verifying critical factors such as installation environment, power supply, and signal access.

   - Installation Execution: Carry out screen installation, wiring, and securing tasks according to the established plan.

   - System Commissioning: Connect the control equipment, configure the system, calibrate colors, adjust brightness, and perform content playback tests, including uniformity adjustments and frame synchronization, to ensure the screen operates smoothly.

 

7. Training and Acceptance  

   - Operational Training: Provide the end-user with training on screen operation, routine maintenance, troubleshooting, and content management software usage.

   - Project Acceptance: The end-user should conduct a comprehensive inspection of the installation results, display quality, system stability, etc., and sign off on the acceptance upon confirmation that all custom requirements are met.

 

8. After-Sales Service  

   - Warranty Services: The supplier offers a product warranty for a specified period, including free repairs and component replacements.

   - Technical Support: The supplier can offer extended warranty services or maintenance contracts, along with the necessary technical assistance and consultation both during and after the warranty period.

 

By following the above process, you can customize an LED screen that meets your specific needs and ensure professional and satisfactory support throughout the entire process, from design and manufacturing to installation and after-sales service. Effective communication with your supplier is crucial to ensuring that your needs are precisely understood and implemented.
