Modern outdoor and indoor advertising requires high quality displays systems – a reason you should consider the P5 LED Panels.
In most cases, choosing an LED panel with a suitable pixel pitch can be a problem. A reason this guide explores everything you should know about P5 display panels.
Let’s dive right in.
What Is A P5 LED Panel
The P in a P5 LED Panel basically stands for pixel pitch. We have the 5 after it symbolizing the distance between any adjacent LED lights in the panel – in this case 5mm.
When the P value is low, we experience an increased pixel density. This leads to a very high LED resolution.
In terms of application, this pane can either be placed outdoors or indoors. Outdoors application can achieve a viewing range of around 5 to 25 meters comfortably.
The indoor display has vibrant and clear pictures that are full color presentation. The panel can average around 45kg but depending on the manufacturers specifications.
How P4 LED Panel Compares To P5 Panel
The display effect of these two solely depend on their individual parameters. In comparison, the P4 LED Panel has a dot pitch of 4mm while the P5 LED Panel has 5mm.
This dot pitch is what dictates the pixel resolution of both these panels.
The P4 has higher display resolution, which is not the case for the P5.
P4 LED Panel
On the contrary, P5 LED display panel does not easily attain the best screen display per square meter. The P4 LED Panel easily achieves this since it has a greater single square resolution of about 25000.
Its display is purely extremely clear.
Pros Of P5 LED Panel
The P5 Panel comes with a lot of advantages especially with the advancement in technology. Some of these advantages that we want to take a deeper look at include:
Effective Protection Mechanism
All outdoor P5 LED Screen Panels have normal protection standard rating of IP165. This is an Ingress protection standard that is internationally accepted and used for protection of any outdoor LED.
This means you can use the P5 LED Screen under any external weather condition. The damage will be none if not minimal.
An Elongate And Even Display
The P5 LED Display Panels mostly work using the Surface Mount Device (SMD) Technology. This ensures that you can achieve excellent brightness from the 3 in 1 LED equipment.
The picture quality is also very smooth. This is beside the panel offering a viewing capacity that is moderately wide thus capturing a large audience.
Reliable Design
The design of the P5 Panel is in such a way that it diverts rain water. This is achieved using trough-like ducts that steer away rain from the unit. Besides that, the cabinet used to house the panel is robust.
This offers the P5 LED Display protection against extreme weather conditions. Additionally, it can be used to minimize any physical damages during installation.
Efficient Cooling
Aerofoil fans help in efficient cooling process.
They usually consume very little fan power while at the same time providing a very effectual aerodynamic effect.
This literally improves the air circulation within the panel from about four fans per panel. This ensures a much improved volume of ventilation per minute.
Features Of P5 LED Display Panels
Let’s look at some critical features of P5 panels.
Stability
Most of the P5 LED Screen Panel design is usually die-cast aluminum paired with high grade thermal grease. This ensures that you get an optimum thermal operation.
Power consumption is also significantly reduced. This in turn leads to greater stability without thermal noise form fans.
High Resolution
You can achieve resolutions of up to 40000 pixels/m² from an outdoor P5 LED Display Panel. These panels can also be found in a variety of sizes depending on the intended application.
True Color
By reducing the green color, modern LED screens can restore picture quality. We call this innovation technology-by-point adjustment.
This ensures that our eyes are fully adapted to the P5 Panel perception of the color trends. You also get to experience high levels of accuracy of the nature of displayed colors.
Applications Of P5 LED Screens
You can use the P5 display screen in virtually any application. These may include:
- Shopping malls
- Hospitals
- Banks
- Organizations
- Exhibition halls
- Entertainment centers, etc.
You can display any content format – from videos, graphics, pictures, etc.
Factors To Consider When Choosing P5 LED Screens
We have to consider various factors when choosing the most appropriate P5 LED Panel. These include:
Screen Dimensions
When you take dimensional considerations, you look at the size of the location where the panel is to be placed. The target audience should have a clear view in terms of image contrast, resolution, brightness and the pixel pitch.
Field Of Application
You have to deliberate on whether the P5 LED Display will be indoors or outdoors before purchase. You also have to evaluate whether the screen will be permanently in one place or will always be mobile.
How P5 LED Panel Compares to P10 LED Panel
When it comes to pixel pitch for outdoors display, both the P5 and P10 LED Panels make the perfect cut. What makes them ideal is the full color display images they possess in addition being tough for outdoor conditions.
Their Pixel Values is where we draw the line when it comes to comparing them. In comparison, P5 pixel pitch is 5mm while the P10 has 10mm.
Furthermore, the down and across pixels for the P10 Panel is 16 by 32 while for the P5 Panel is 32 by 64. This pixel itch is what we use to determine the panels pixel density.
You can experience a reduced viewing distance with an increase in resolution. This means that you have a lower pixel density.
Calculating Resolution Of A P5 LED Screen
You can easily calculate the resolution of a P5 LED Display Panel by considering its size of display and its pixel pitch. When we talk of pixel pitch, it is basically the distance between any two adjacent LEDs, in our case 5mm.
By example, you can take a display panel size of about 900mm by 340mm. You then derive the LED resolution by dividing 900 and 360 by the pixel pitch i.e 900/5 and 340/5.
Aging Test For P5 LED Display Panel
This is a test that is carried out on a P5 LED Panel to ensure flawless operations. Generally, the LEDs attain improved stability and efficiency once they begin aging.
This test is a very important aspect when you consider quality control. Majorly, the test looks at the failure rate curve of the LEDs and applies steps to enhance their dependability.
We can categorize the aging test into two stages that consume up to 72 hours processing time. The white balance aging takes 2 stages of 24 hours each while video aging takes 24 hours.
A closer look at the procedure is as follows:
a. The display module should be properly installed
b. You should test to ensure that there is no short circuit
c. You should ensure that the P5 Panels is neat and flat
d. The appearance of the panel should be intact
e. Finally, light up the LED panel using the online control system
It is of utmost importance that the aging test is carried continuously for the 72 hours. After completing the test, parameters such as white balance, effects of the video and white balance should also be tested.
Importance Of Pixel Pitch In P5 LED Panel
The number of pixels available in a P5 LED Screen Panel is directly proportional to its cost. This means that a panel with more pixels will cost more than one with less.
For outdoors P5 LED Panels with the audience further than 10 feet away, a lower pixel panel would be less expensive and more appropriate. In contrast, we require a panel with higher pixel count for indoor displays due to the close proximity of the audience.
Conclusion
With the information in this guide, you can certainly choose a suitable P5 LED Panel.
As long as you be clear on the features, specification and intended applications.
