LED technology that performs under pressure
LED message centers are THE best way to differentiate a business or organization from the competition in the brick and mortar world. Along with creating a strong market presence, they maintain a professional image and achieve an advertising impact that is second to none. Choosing an LED pitch is as important as making the decision to buy a sign. Purchasing a sign with the wrong pitch will minimize the effects of your investment.
Below is a basic guide to help you to understand LED signs. Selecting the proper sign will make your investment your #1 advertising tool.
Pixel - Individual LEDs grouped together make a pixel. There could be one LED or ten in a pixel. The determining factor of a pixel's clarity is its pitch.
Pixel Pitch - The pitch is the distance in millimeters from one pixel to the next, and it determines the matrix and how crisp the images will be.
10mm - Highest resolution, most
vivid colors, best detail,
lifelike color and clarity.
Designed for the display of
video, animation, logos,
images and text.
16mm - High resolution, very vivid
colors. Designed displaying a
animation,logos, images and
text.
20mm - Great resolution with vivid
colors. Designed for the
display of basic animation,
logos, image and text.
Matrix - The matrix of a sign is simply the amount of pixels tall by the pixels wide. The matrix of a sign should considered when comparing two different brands of signs. It is important to note that two signs that are the same size may not have the same matrix. Due to this, they will not have the same display capabilities of text, images and animations.
Viewing Angle - The viewing angle of an LED is the angle at which the brightness of an LED is halved. An LED is at full brightness when you look at it straight on or dead center. If the brightness is halved by moving thirty degrees to either side of dead center, then the viewing angle is twice that, equaling sixty degrees.
Viewing Distance - Longer distances require less resolution and shorter distances require more resolution. If you are traveling 55mph on a highway and the LED message display is 600 feet away at a truck stop, the LED message text letters must be at least 20 inches tall to be legible. If you are standing 60 feet away from a LED sign, the message letters need only be 2 inches tall to be legible. Resolution is the most important factor affecting the cost of your LED sign. More resolution means more diodes and more circuits, which usually means higher cost. How do you determine the resolution of an LED sign? Pitch is the distance between one diode and another. The lower the pitch the better the resolution.
Viewing Distance(ft) Character Height Minimum Pitch
60 2" 6mm
120 4" 15mm
180 6" 22mm
240 8" 30mm
360 12'' 45mm
460 15" 56mm
630 21" 76mm
1050 35" 127mm
Reading Angle - The reading angle is the maximum angle to the left or right of an LED sign that the message is viewable. Reading angle varies greatly on ambient light and other environmental factors.
HOW DO LED MESSAGE CENTERS PERFORM AGAINST PRINT AND RADIO?
Simply put, the proof is in the numbers. In terms of impressions, their costs and per-day cost, LED message centers are THE best solution to your advertising needs. When compared to print and radio formats, its not fair to even call it a comparison! LED message centers are the most cost-
effective way to communicate time and location-sensitive advertising to your intended viewing audience. With the ability to instantaneously change your message, LED signs can be used to announce a surprise sale, end-of-day specials, et cetera.
