Outdoor fixed LED display is becoming a massive platform to effectively promote brand awareness and enhance brand images. The demand for LED display has led to technological advancements.

We no longer are limited to the traditional DIP LED displays, on the contrary, we have options like SMD, COD or OLED.

Despite having different variations of LED display, the race is between DIP and SMD. Both these technologies offer different benefits along with some disadvantages.

Since LED displays are effective, more than 65 percent of the people visit a retail shop because they saw the ad on the digital screen. Thus, it is imperative to make the right choice.

The type of technology you use greatly depends on your business requirements. People who are looking for an outdoor LED display generally opt for DIP display.

In case, if you want an indoor display, you can choose SMD technology. This by no way means that they are not reversible. You can use SMD display for outdoor and DIP for indoor screens.

Just to ensure that you make the right decision, we will shed light on both technologies and highlight their differences.

Definition of DIP Technology

DIP LED displays have been around for years now. The robust and strong technology has become a favorite among the marketing industries.

Both DIP and SMD give the same visual appearance, however, you can make out the difference after you turn them off. DIP stands for Dual Inline Package. DIP displays have separated LEDs. You can see each LED individually.

There is a red LED, a green LED and a blue LED dot for every point on the screen that you see. DIP LEDs sometimes give a non-homogenous contrast. They reflect the external life. Due to the non-homogenous feature, the LEDs are in relief.

Lastly, DIP technology comes with an advanced feature, the virtual pitch. It means that DIP screens have the ability to generate a fourth LED, WHITE for the rendering of the screen and for accentuating definition.

Most people prefer to use DIP technology for outdoor fixed LED displays. Reason being, the screen does not go below pitch 7.

In addition, DIP Outdoor LED signage is globally more robust in time. So, when it comes to outdoor LED sign, DIP technology is the winner.

Definition of SMD technology

SMD technology has the opposite concept. Instead of using three different LEDs, it groups all three of them into a single point of either black or white color.

The three LEDs include red, blue and green. The point generated by these three LEDs is either a square or a dot. The diameter of the dot is not more than a few millimeters.

Since the LEDs are not visible individually, thus there is a very little gap between each pixel.

An SMD technology offers unmatched screen resolution. In today's world, you might come across a screen with a pixel pitch as less as 1.6 millimeters.

Outdoor SMD LES Screen VS Outdoor DIP LED display

Compare to LED DIP display products, SMD display screen posses the advantages of wide viewing angle, good lighting distribution, high contrast ratio. Outdoor SMD LED display not only has wide viewing angle of 110 degrees in the horizontal direction but also has more than 110 degree wide viewing angle in the vertical direction. Therefore, high building outdoor advertisement LED display should need a outdoor SMD full color screen with wide viewing angle to show better advertise effect.

In addition, outdoor SMD panel has better consistency while DIP LED lamps (green, red, blue) are hard to achieve consistency index. But smd outdoor panel could make these 3 color brightness have a highly consistency. SMD LED board make sure the outdoor full-color smd LED display brightness consistency at any angle to achieve better color fidelity effect.

Moreover, the volume of SMD full-color screen is smaller than DIP, so the luminous area is small and larger black area, which improve the contrast of LED display screen. SMD is packaged in a designed structure, its built-in red, green blue 3 chips that could be as one pixel for the whole screen. However, DIP LED lights only have one color chip built-in, so it needs three different color lamps to put together to be as a pixel, Therefore, the mixing effects of SMD full color display are better than upright oval LED display.

Whatsmore, Outdoor full-color smd LED display is free to pot glue and the products are more thin, easy and quick installation. Using aluminum alloy cabinet structure design, beautiful shape, easy to assemble. Suitable for LED rental companies, taxi-top screen, mobile media, etc.

Outdoor smd panel circuit design can be designed light and drive 2 in 1, easy automated production. Outdoor smd not only improves the reliability also has promoted the production efficiency. More importantly, decrease the cost. According to the above theory, VERYPIXEL summarized as follows: Outdoor smd display has two significant advantages compared to LED DIP screen: firstly, Outdoor smd displays effect and viewing effect is better; secondly, Large viewing angle make outdoor smd more suitable for smaller spacing LED display than DIP LED display.

Due to marketing demand, small space full color LED display screen is needed more but traditional dip modules is obviously unable to meet the needs of the application marketing.

With the maturity development of LED packaging technology, LED lamp & SMT chip widely used in this field. Comparing with the traditional upright oval LED full color display, Outdoor smd displays have better display effect, more energy-saving, thin cabinet, larger viewing angle, no matter apply to indoor or outdoor. VERYPIXEL think that SMD led displays will take the place of DIP oval full-color LED billboards in the near future.
