Your Choice of LED Display: DIP Chip and SMD Chip

Compared to the new SMD technology, DIP LED screens are one of the older designs of LEDs. But it is also one of the most durable and stable solution for outdoor led display. SMD led display is the new technology in these years, and now it is getting popular due to its better picture quality and higher resolution.

 

SMD Technology

Surface mount technology (SMT) is a method of producing electronic circuits in which components are mounted or placed directly on the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB). The electronic devices so made are called surface mount devices (SMD).

SMDs came about as devices became smaller and the need arose for technology that could make this type of LED fit smaller. That said, the use of SMDs increased rapidly in the first decade of the 21st century.

Advantages of SMDs

1. Because of the large size of DIP LED chips, consisting of three chips per pixel, there is no room for DIP LED displays to achieve a pixel pitch of less than 10 mm. But SMD LEDs are small and can be placed much closer together. Closer placement leads to higher resolution. pixel pitch of SMD LED displays can range from 0.9-10mm. 2.


2. DIP LED displays have a smaller viewing angle than SMD displays, which have a wide viewing angle. Therefore, if you have the requirement of sharp angle, then SMD LED screen will be a good choice.


3. The production efficiency and manufacturing cost of DIP is higher because there are 3 bulbs per pixel and the DIP module that inserts a pixel into the PCB will be at least 3 times slower than SMD. This is one of the reasons why fewer and fewer manufacturers are now producing DIP LED displays.


4. With the same specifications and pixel pitch, the cost of DIP LED displays is usually higher than SMD.

DIP Technology

A double in-line package is a package of electronic components with a rectangular housing and two parallel rows of electrically connected pins. The package is mounted through holes into a printed circuit board (PCB) or into a socket. dip screens have a single LED for the three main colors: red, green and blue.

 

Advantages of DIP

1. For DIP, each pixel consists of three separate color (RGB) LED chips. Each chip has two long legs. The long feet are inserted into the PCB pads, and cold soldering problems rarely occur after through-hole soldering. SMD LED displays have short feet, and the LEDs are mounted on the PCB pads, which are more likely to cause cold soldering problems than DIP.


2. Longer feet allow LED bulbs to do better in terms of heat dissipation. Better heat dissipation means a longer life for LED displays. Therefore, in the long run, DIP LEDs will be more durable than SMD LEDs.


3. The large size of DIP LED lamps allows LED screens to present higher brightness. Usually normal brightness DIP LED displays can reach 7,500nits, while high brightness can reach 10,000nits or more. Usually the brightness of outdoor SMD LED display is around 6,000nits.


4. Compared with the same specification SMD, DIP LED screen consumes less power. Usually the power consumption of DIP LED display is 1/3 less than SMD.

 

Your Choice of LED Display: DIP Chip and SMD Chip

 

Overall, they both have advantages and disadvantages. For indoor applications, where viewing distances are short and we are usually looking for the best picture quality without very high brightness, SMD LED screens are always the best choice. If you need more information, please contact MOONLEDS experts and we’ll reply to you soon.

Choosing the Right COB LED

图片
  LED COB (Chip on Board) lighting is becoming increasingly popular due to its high efficiency, long lifespan, and versatility. However, with so many different   types of LED COBs   available, it can be challenging to choose the right one for your specific lighting needs. In this article, we will discuss some important factors to consider when   choosing the right LED COB   for your application.   Color Temperature The  color temperature of an LED COB  refers to the perceived warmth or coolness of the light it produces. It is measured in Kelvins (K) and typically ranges from 2000K (warm white) to 6500K (cool white). The color temperature you choose will depend on the specific application and your personal preference.   For example, warm white light (2000K-3000K) is often used in residential settings to create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. On the other hand, cool white light (4000K-6500K) is often used in commercial and industrial settings ...

How Do I Choose the Right Colour Rendering Index CRI?

图片
  Choosing the right color rendering index (CRI) is essential when it comes to selecting the appropriate lighting solution for a particular space or application. The CRI is a measure of a light source's ability to reproduce the colors of an object faithfully, compared to an ideal or natural light source. A higher CRI means that colors appear more vibrant and true to their original hue, while a lower CRI can cause colors to look dull or washed out.   Here are some factors to consider when choosing the right CRI:   Application The first factor to consider when choosing the right CRI is the application or purpose of the lighting. Different lighting applications require different levels of color accuracy. For example, in a retail setting, where accurate color representation is critical, a high CRI light source may be necessary to showcase products in their true colors. On the other hand, in an industrial setting, where color accuracy may not be as critical, a lower CRI light ...

The Best LED Lighting for Schools and Classrooms

图片
  When it comes to selecting LED lighting for schools and classrooms, there are several factors to consider. The right lighting can create a comfortable and productive learning environment while also being energy-efficient and cost-effective. Here are some key considerations for choosing the   best-LED lighting for schools and classrooms : Brightness and Uniformity:  Opt for LED fixtures that provide adequate brightness levels without causing glare or shadows. Uniform lighting distribution throughout the space is essential to ensure that all areas of the classroom are well-lit.   Color Temperature:  Consider the color temperature of the LED lights. A color temperature of around 4000K to 5000K is generally recommended for classrooms as it offers a cool, daylight-like illumination that promotes focus and alertness. 4000k Full Spectrum Super High Cri 5000k Full Spectrum Super High Cri Color Rendering Index (CRI):  The  CRI of LED lights  indicates ho...
