How much does an LED display cost?

Will you because you do not know how to choose the most suitable LED display within the budget, choose LED display is not only the cost of the screen, in fact, you also need to buy a number of components, in order to let the LED display screen normal display video screen, today I will take you to understand the cost of spending on LED display.

Various types of LED display cost

In LED display, the most important thing is that you need to understand the square foot price of different types of LED display in order to understand in the most concise form whether your budget can match.

Indoor LED display cost

Indoor LED displays have lower brightness in the range of 800–1200 nits because of their small pixel pitch, and lower brightness can protect the LED chip more effectively; 

small-pitch LED chips usually do not use too high a level of protection performance, if the small-pitch LED chip is set to a higher brightness, the temperature generated when the LED display is working will be too high, which will cause the LED chips are easy to fail and dead lights;

In short, indoor LED display does not need too much configuration to complete the corresponding work, so the square price of indoor LED display will be lowed, usually in the range of 300-2700 U.S. dollars a square meter.

Outdoor LED display cost

installed in the outdoor LED display, need to withstand the harsh ecological environment, so in the protection level of the higher requirements, the protection level is usually in the IP65, so the square price of outdoor LED display will be relatively high, the price is usually in the 350-3000 U.S. dollars a square meter.

Flexible LED display cost

Flexible LED display is a new type of display technology, it has ultra-high flexibility, can be shaped into various shapes of LED display, to achieve unlimited creative possibilities, flexible LED display is often used for art type of creative advertising screen, the price is usually in the range of 450-3500 U.S. dollars a square meter.

Transparent LED display cost

Transparent LED displays have excellent viewing angles and are often used in windows and showcases, allowing people to see clearly through the LED display; prices usually range of 350-2,000 U.S. dollars a square meter. 

Custom LED display cost

Many companies will customize the LED display because of the specific needs of the project, usually there will be many complex structures in the customization, which will increase the cost of labor and technology costs, and then the total price of the product will also increase, the price is usually in the range of 550-4000 U.S. dollars a square meter.

Composition of LED display cost

LED module

LED module is one of the most important components of the LED display, allowing the whole LED display to have higher flexibility, the price of the LED module will be affected by the different types used.

Type

Indoor: usually, the pixel density of indoor LED module will be higher, because the audience will be closer to watch the LED display, the higher the pixel density, it can display clearer and more detailed images or videos; in short, the main thing of indoor LED module is to have higher pixels, and it does not need high waterproof and dustproof function in terms of protection performance, and the price of it will be lowed. 

Outdoor: outdoor LED module does not need too dense LED chips to display, but need higher brightness to fight with the outdoor environment; in the outdoor, the environment of the light intensity is greater than the original brightness of the LED display, will lead to the audience can not see the LED display.

So outdoor LED module needs a wider spacing for the LED chip device higher performance, in order to make the LED display in the daytime brightness to reach the LED display, so that the LED display can reach a high brightness. Display in the daytime brightness of 4500–5500 nits.

For outdoor LED display, the daytime needs to be higher brightness, even if the night can adjust the brightness of the LED display so that the audience will not feel so harsh when watching, but also reduce light pollution; 

however, if the daytime and nighttime are working, the cost of electricity will be higher, and energy consumption will be more. Especially office buildings this large area covered by the LED wall; so companies often choose to let the LED display screen only work at night, then you can use outdoor smaller pitch low brightness LED module to splicing, can save more cost.

On the other hand, outdoor LED display to withstand the wind, sun and rain and other harsh environments, but also need to be equipped with a higher level of protection and heat dissipation system and sturdy steel structure, etc., so the price of outdoor LED module will be higher.

Flexible: flexible LED module has high flexibility, can be bent to 30 ° LED module, this is a new display technology; flexible LED display can meet a variety of customized needs of customers, such as cylindrical LED display, curved LED display, spherical LED display, etc., the price will be Flexible LED display is often used in indoor plus its new flexible technology, the price will be higher than the price of ordinary indoor LED module.

Pixel Pitch

The pixel pitch of LED display refers to the distance from the center point of LED chip to the center point of another LED chip, the smaller the pixel pitch, the higher the resolution of the whole LED display, the image display of LED display will be more clear and detailed, stronger immersive experience, etc.;

At the same time, the viewing angle of the higher resolution LED display will be broader, allowing more viewers to be able to see the LED display clearly in different positions. Can be in different positions, can also be able to clearly watch the content of the LED display. So the smaller the pixel pitch, the price of LED display tends to be higher.

Encapsulation

SMD: SMD uses surface mount technology, this encapsulation is relatively simple, relatively low cost; SMD encapsulation technology is directly fixed in the PCB LED chip, the use of leads and chip connection, and then the use of solder way to fix, and finally use the mask for surface mounting;

This encapsulation technology is more automated, and more convenient in the maintenance of the latter. More convenient, SMD LED display issued by the light is more uniform, etc., so that the SMD packaging technology in the LED display market sales share of 80%.

DIP: DIP uses the direct insertion encapsulation technology, the use of red, green and blue LED lamp beads connected together, directly inserted in the circuit board, can create an endless display of color; this packaging technology has a high durability, post maintenance is more convenient, but also has a super-high brightness display, but its viewing angle may be limited, so the price is moderate.

COB: This encapsulation technology is the first epoxy resin coated in the PCB board, in the use of machines will be LED chips one by one for dense encapsulation, the realization of the chip surface encapsulation, this encapsulation technology is more expensive; COB LED display is an ultra-high-resolution LED display, because the COB encapsulation technology can be done in less than 1mm pixel pitch; the shortcomings of it is that it’s The disadvantage is that its brightness will not be too high, so it is usually used indoors.

LED control card

LED control system is one of the important components of the LED display system, its main function is to receive signals from other devices transmitted to the LED display, usually synchronous control and asynchronous control of the two types; LED control card has a storage, management of the content, independent settings, performance indicators and other functions, the more functions the control card has the higher the price will be.

Different brands of control card price will be different, in the field of LED display common control system brands are Nova star, Hui Du, Color light, Linsn, etc., these brands have excellent control technology, has a very reliable nature.

Video processor

video processor can provide more powerful flexibility for the LED display, its functions are image scaling, signal conversion and switching, upgrading the quality of the image, for multiscreen processing and so on; 

in its function if you can’t do the image diffusion to the whole LED wall, you need more than one video processor for the screen processing, the price of the LED video processor tends to be in terms of its function and brand And performance to define.

LED display power supply

The LED display power supply is used to control the power supply, usually, the cost of an LED power supply is priced at $7~30; different brands and quality of power supply will also affect the stability and efficiency of the LED display current, so the price of higher quality LED power supply will be higher; 

if you use a lower quality of LED power supply, it may lead to the power supply is more prone to failure, making the later maintenance and replacement costs higher.

Computer

If the computer equipment to be connected with the LED display processor, we need a control interface, the control interface is mainly the computer image or video, through the DVI or HDMI interface to the LED display control card to display; if the LED display has more output or input connectors the price of the LED display will also be affected.

LED display additional costs

Packaging costs

Flight case: the packaging costs in the LED display transportation is the most common, according to customer demand to customize the size of the air box, the price is usually in the 280 ~ 410 U.S. dollars a box. 

Flight case can better protect the LED cabinets and some data lines that have been spliced, generally applicable to air transportation; but there are some exceptions, such as the LED rental screen no matter what mode of transportation is used will choose the packaging of the aviation box.

Flight case shell hard, between the box can be stacked to three layers, the top surface of the box is designed into four grooves, convenient box in the stacked can be more firmly fixed flight case;

 box under the four corners of the device with a roller, roller so that the aviation box in the transportation is more convenient, but also with the top of the grooves corresponds to, so as to realize the sturdy, solid, convenient transportation, but also can be recycled; so, this type of packaging cost will be a little higher.

Wooden box: wooden box is the use of wooden crate splicing LED display packaging box body, the first display will be packaged in the carton inside, after the use of foam will be wrapped up to the four corners, so that the wooden box in the impact of external factors, the display can be effectively protected, this packaging method is to the customer to buy the size of the LED display to specify the price of the wooden box.

However, the wooden box in the packaging LED display, there is poor mobility, disassembly is not convenient factors, the packaging method is often used with sea or rail transportation, more suitable for the kind of LED display installed on the use of the LED display will no longer be dismantled, for example, the office building of the outdoor LED video wall, outdoor LED billboards and so on; so, the cost of wooden box packaging is more affordable some of the cost of the price.

Carton: usually, the carton is used for the transport of LED modules; LED module is relatively light, carton packaging process quickly can largely reduce the cost of packaging, carton packaging will also be effective protection of the LED module, the use of multi-layer protective film for the parcel, waterproof, moisture-proof role, but also allows the LED module in the transport and dismantling to avoid the beads of the lamp bead bumping.

The cost of the wire

 Data aerial plug

data aerial plug can make LED display splicing play the role of signal series connection, aerial plug linkage mode through the connection of two aerial plug components will be hidden aerial plug, the main components include plugs, sockets, insulators, and accessories;

Plugs and sockets are the core part of the aerial plugs, usually using threads or snaps to connect together, insulators are used for isolation of the electrical, etc., the use of LED displays. Data flight plug, not only can have good data transmission, but also can do the appearance of the wire to do invisible.

Power supply air plug

power supply air plug is a data line between the LED cabinet for energization, can make each piece of LED module can be energized, power supply air plug shell usually use zinc alloy, copper materials, etc., so that it is not easy to leakage of electricity, it has a safe and reliable nature.

Network cable

LED display between the need for control card and LED unit board signal connection and output, you need a network cable, network cable is usually also known as row of wires;

 because, the data output of the line body is side by side and become, row of wires, the quality and stability of the line will have a direct impact on the overall performance of the LED display and the display effect, so the better the quality of the network cable, the price is generally a little more expensive.

Other LED display cost

Installation cost

If you want to save installation cost, then you can do it yourself to set up the LED display, but it is a time-consuming and space-occupying project. If you want to quickly install the LED display, then you can follow your local labor costs to find professional labor for you to quickly splice, this way to save time, high efficiency, but the cost price will be higher.

Transportation costs

in the process of transportation is also needed a huge amount of money, there are air, sea, land transport, and no matter what kind of transportation should bear the corresponding tariffs; for you to buy a batch of LED display, tariffs are already a fixed amount, and you choose the mode of transportation is to determine your total transportation costs;

for air transport, it is more costly, the transportation time is fast; for sea transportation time is more For air transportation, it costs more, and the transportation time is faster; for sea transportation, the transportation time is longer, but the good thing is that the cost is lower; the use of land transportation is less, usually used in neighboring countries will choose to use, the cost of price and sea transportation is not much different.

Post-maintenance costs

No matter what electronic equipment, it will appear the phenomenon of damage, and not because you buy the quality of the product is very good, there will be no damage to the situation, or you will maintain it well, it will also appear the phenomenon of wear and tear of the parts.

Each object and the creatures have the corresponding life expectancy, so in order to ensure that you can continue to enjoy the beautiful images of the LED display screen, etc., the late maintenance is essential.

For the surface of the dirt you can use a softer fabric to erase, reduce labor costs; for the calibration of the quality check, the need for more professional personnel to carry out checks and repairs, and its maintenance costs will be determined by the product model and size of the size of the products you buy and the local cost of labor.
