Learn more about LED Technology
An LED display is a video display which uses light-emitting diodes. A LED panel is a small display, or a component of a larger display. They are typically used outdoors in store signs and billboards, and in recent years have also become commonly used in destination signs on public transport vehicles. LED panels are sometimes used as form of lighting, for the purpose of general illumination, task lighting, or even stage lighting rather than display.

Pixel
A pixel is a cluster of 1 or more LED’s. Monochrome and Grayscale LED sign pixels have 1 or more LED’s of either red or amber while full color pixels feature red, green and blue LED’s. More LED’s per pixel will produce higher quality pictures, animations and text.

Pitch
The pitch of an LED sign is the distance between each pixel. If the specifications of a sign you are buying state that the Pitch (or resolution) is 20mm – this means there are twenty millimeters from the center of one pixel to the next. The smaller the pitch the more LEDs per square-foot which means the resolution will be higher.

Matrix
An LED display’s matrix represents how many pixels on the display. A display with a matrix resolution of 32 (h) by 128 (w) means it has 32 pixels from top to bottom and 128 from left to right. A higher matrix on your LED sign will give you #1 more lines of text, #2 more characters per line and #3 better images and video.

Viewing Angle
signs viewing angle dictates the signs ability to been viewed from to the extreme left and right of the sign. The content on an LED sign with a poor viewing angle (70 degrees) will disappear sooner as you pass the sign. Our signs feature a 140 degree viewing angle. This allows you to view the message right up until the moment you drive past the sign. The brightness will not fade out as you drive past the sign.

Grayscale signs are single color signs with the ability to produce 256 shades of color. What does this mean for you? You can still show 60 frame per second video clips, animations and text.
Monochrome LED Signs
Monochrome literally means “single color”. These signs are designed for basic text, backgrounds and animations. Create multiple lines of text, store messages up to 5 years in advance, display time/temperature and much more!
