LED Signage

Pitch (Resolution)
cluster of many diodes running off the same Resolution, or the total number of pixels in a display, is a very important factor that affects the performance of the sign. More resolution means more LED diodes and more circuits, which usually means better picture quality. Pitch is the distance (usually in millimeters) between pixels. Pitch is always measured from the center of one pixel to the center of an adjacent pixel. The smaller the pitch number, the higher the resolution quality. Larger the pitch numbers indicate a lower resolution. A pixel can be one single diode, or a pixel can be a circuit.

LED density of a display is the total number of LED diodes in one square meter. It is calculated by mLED diode density and pixel pitch are the two most critical factors to determine the quality of resolution and display brightnessultiplying the number of pixels per square meter by the number of LED diodes per pixel.

Optec Digital Billboards’s LED display systems have always featured more LEDs per pixel than other LED display manufacturers.  Our higher LED diode density provides significantly higher brightness and longer display life since each individual diode can be driven at lower levels of intensity, reserving capacity to extend the display’s life – without sacrificing proper viewing brightness.
