WHAT IS AN LED DISPLAY?
LED display is an electronic display made up of LED dot matrix. It can display contents such as text, animation, pictures and video in time by switching on and off the traffic light bead on the screen. The module display control is carried out through the modular structure.Mainly divided into display module, control system and power supply system.Display module is made up of LED lamp dot matrix screen luminescence;The control system is to control the area of the light on the situation to achieve the conversion of the screen display content;The power supply system is to convert the input voltage and current to meet the needs of the display screen.
LED screen can realize the transformation between different forms of a variety of information presentation modes, and can be used indoors and outdoors, which has incomparable advantages over other displays.It has the characteristics of high brightness intensity, small work power consumption, low voltage demand, small and convenient equipment, long service life, stable impact resistance and strong resistance to external interference, and has been rapidly developed and widely used in various fields.
The luminous color and luminous efficiency of LED is related to the materials and processes used to make LED. The bulb is blue at the beginning, followed by fluorescent powder. According to the different needs of users, different light colors are adjusted, and there are four widely used: red, green, blue and yellow.Because the LED working voltage is low (only 1.2~4.0V), can actively emit and have a certain brightness, brightness and can be adjusted by voltage (or current), itself and impact resistance, anti-vibration, long life (100,000 hours), so in large display equipment, there is no other display way to match the LED display.
LED, Light Emitting Diode abbreviation.It is a semiconductor light-emitting diode by controlling the display way, by gallium (GA) and arsenic (AS), phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N), indium (IN) compounds made of the diode, when the electron and hole compound can emit visible light, so can be used to make light-emitting diode.Used as an indicator light in circuits and instruments, or as a text or digital display.Phosphorus gallium arsenide diodes emit red light, gallium phosphide diodes green light, silicon carbide diodes yellow light, and indium gallium nitrogen diodes blue light.
A display that combines red and green LED chips or tubes as one pixel is called a three-color or dual-color screen, while a display that combines red, green and blue LED chips or tubes as one pixel is called a three-color screen or full-color screen.If there is only one color is called the monochrome or single color screen, make indoor LED screen pixel size is generally 1.5 to 12 mm, often using several can produce different colors of the LED tube core is encapsulated as a body, LED outdoor screen pixel size of 6-41.5 mm, each pixel is made up of several kinds of monochrome leds, common product according to the pixel tube, double color pixel tube generally consists of 2 red 1 green, three color pixels of tube with 1 red 1 green and 1 blue.
Whether using LEDs to make a monochrome, two-color or three-color screen, to display an image, the brightness of each LED that constitutes a pixel must be adjustable, and the degree of adjustment is the gray level of the display.The higher the gray level, the more delicate the displayed image is, the richer the color is, and the more complex the corresponding display control system is.Generally 256 grayscale images, color transition has been very soft, and 16 grayscale color images, color transition boundary is very obvious.Therefore, color LED screens are currently required to be made into 256 to 4096 levels of gray.

Performance Index Editing
Color, brightness, and perspective
With the combination of diode system and semiconductor, its production material and production process are gradually upgraded, breaking through the limitations of original brightness and color, and a large number of blue diode and pure green light-emitting diode are applied to improve the display brightness.Thus, the advantages of LED display screen in outdoor environment are improved, which can adapt to different display requirements and enhance the effective value of LED in different environments.The evaluation of LED display performance must be the result of comprehensive consideration, because its related performance indicators are closely related, brightness, perspective, resolution and other indicators affect each other.At present, the LED devices are used to improve the viewing Angle and brightness performance of high-density, full-color indoor display screens.
Grey scale
The gray level of LED display screen is mainly used to evaluate the color reality. The brightness level is judged from the darkest single primary color brightness to the brightest, and the gray level is used as the standard to evaluate the display color.When the gray level is higher, it shows that the vegetables are rich and gorgeous;When its gray level is low, the color change is single.Therefore, the improvement of gray level is conducive to the increase of the color display level of the image and the improvement of the color depth.
contrast
The contrast of the display screen affects the visual imaging effect. High contrast improves the clarity of the picture, the color is bright, and effectively improves the detail texture, clarity and gray level of the image quality.In addition, contrast also has a certain effect on the resolution conversion of dynamic video. High contrast makes it easier for the naked eye to distinguish the light and shade conversion process in the motion picture.
Refresh rate
The number of times the content of LED display can be displayed repeatedly per second is called the refresh frequency. When the refresh frequency is low, the flicker of the image will appear, especially in the process of video shooting. Therefore, the refresh frequency must be maximized to ensure the stability of the display screen.[4]
Key Technology Editor
Image acquisition
The LED image display uses the electronic luminescence system to display the results of image conversion of digital signals.The special video card JMC-LED emerges at the right moment. Based on the PCI bus using 64-bit graphics accelerator, it forms a unified compatibility with VGA and video functions, which makes video data superposition VGA data to perfect the shortcomings of compatibility.
The full screen method is used to collect the resolution, so that the video image can realize the full Angle resolution to strengthen the resolution effect, eliminate the problem of edge blurring, can be zoomed and moved at any time, to different playback requirements can be timely response.Effective separation of red, green and blue colors, enhance the electronic display of true color imaging effect.
Real image color reproduction
In general, the combination of red, green and blue colors should meet the light-sensitivity intensity ratio tending to 3:6:1;Red is more sensitive to imaging, so it must be evenly distributed in the spatial display.Because the three colors of light intensity is different, people’s visual experience in the resolution of the nonlinear curve is also different, so different light intensity to benefit white light, correct the light inside the television;Color resolution varies due to individual differences and environmental differences, so color reproduction should be performed according to certain objective indicators, such as:
(1) Position the basic wavelengths of red light at 660nm, green light at 525nm and blue light at 470nm.
(2) According to the actual situation of light intensity, 4 tubes or more white light units are used for matching.
(3) The gray level is 256.
(4) LED pixels must be handled with non-linear calibration.The hardware system and the player system software can be used to control the three primary color piping.
Brightness control D/T conversion
The luminescence of the pixel is controlled by the controller to promote its drive independence.When rendering color video, it is necessary to effectively control the brightness and color of each pixel, and make the scanning operation complete synchronously within the specified time.But large LED electronic displays have tens of thousands of pixels, which adds to the complexity of control and the difficulty of transmitting data.
However, it is unrealistic to use D/A to control each pixel point in practical work. At this time, A new control scheme is needed to meet the complex requirements of pixel system.Based on the analysis of vision principle, the ratio of pixels’ brightness to their brightness is the main basis for people to analyze the average brightness, and effective adjustment of this ratio can achieve effective control of pixel brightness.When this principle is applied in LED electronic display screen, digital signal can be converted to time signal, and effective conversion between D/A can be realized.
Data refactoring and storage
At present, combination pixel method and level pixel method are common memory combination methods.The center plane method has more obvious advantages and effectively improves the best display effect of LED screen.Through the bit plane data, the circuit is reconstructed, the RGB data is converted, the different pixels in the same weight bit are combined organically, and the adjacent storage structure is used for data storage.
ISP in logic circuit design
With the emergence of System Programmable Technology (ISP), users can repeatedly fix the deficiencies in the design and design goals, systems or circuit boards by themselves, which realizes the designer application function of software integration. At this time, the combination of digital system and system programmable technology brings new application effects.
The introduction and use of new technology can effectively shorten the design time, expand the limited use of components, simplify on-site maintenance, and facilitate the realization of target equipment functions.When the system software input logic, the influence of the selected device can be ignored, and the input element can be selected at will, or the virtual element can be selected for adaptation after the completion of input.

1. Switch sequence:
Screen opening: Power on first, then screen opening.
Screen off: Screen off first, then power off.
(first turn off the computer without the display screen, will cause the screen body appears high bright spot, LED burned lamp tube, the consequences are serious.)
2, switch screen time interval should be greater than 5 minutes.
3. After the computer enters the engineering control software, it can turn on the screen and power.
4. Avoid opening the screen under the all-white screen state, because the impact current of the system is the largest at this time.
5. Avoid opening the screen in the out-of-control state, because the impact current of the system is the largest at this time.
6, the electronic display body part appears a line is very bright, should pay attention to turn off the screen in time, in this state should not be long time.
7, often appear the display power switch trip, should be timely check the screen or replace the power switch.
8. Check the firmness of the connection regularly.If there is loosening phenomenon, pay attention to timely adjustment, re-reinforce or update the hanging parts.
9. When the ambient temperature is too high or the heat dissipation condition is not good, the LED lighting should be paid attention not to open the screen for a long time.
