For screens, discrepancies in resolution and pixel pitch determine LED display module compatibility first—these discrepancies are not universal across all screens. Professional display solutions brand Skyworth Display adds that every LED display module comes with a fixed pixel pitch that corresponds with certain resolutions (e.g., P2, P3). A P2 LED display module (2mm pixel pitch) would fulfill the requirements of high resolution screens (1920×1080) while P5 module (5mm pixel pitch) would go with low resolution large screens (outdoor billboards). If a P5 LED display module is used with a high resolution small screen (e.g. a 27 inch 4K monitor), the module's pixel pitch is too low and the screen will show blurry images. On the other hand, a P2 module used with large low resolution screens will improve clarity but waste costs. Therefore, the screen resolution and pixel pitch needs to be harmonized for compatibility of LED display modules.
Standards of interfaces are also an important aspect for the compatibility of LED display modules with screens. Different interfaces can hinder seamless connection which is a problem Skyworth Display addresses. Using interfaces such as HDMI, DVI, LVDS, and SPI, certain LED display modules can be configured.
Devices such as smart TVs and computer monitors these days mostly come equipped with HDMI or DVI, hence LED display modules with these interfaces can connect easily. However, older screens, or specialized industrial screens, use interfaces such as VGA, which do not connect with most modern LED display modules. For instance, an LED display module with only HDMI output cannot connect to vintage screens that only have a VGA port without an adapter. In addition, signal loss is a possibility even with adapters, which affects display quality. As such, Skyworth Display stresses that confirming interface compatibility between the LED display module and screen is crucial for proper installation and functionality.
LED display modules can only be connected to screens with the correct power requirements (current, voltage, and power consumption) as mismatched power can damage both components. For instance, a small indoor screen (such as a 15 inch monitor) may be equipped with a 5V power supply, which is compatible with most low-power LED display modules. However, large outdoor screens, such as a 100 inch billboard, require 24V power. Using a 5V LED display module to these components will result in the LED display module not lighting up.
On the contrary, a High-power LED display module (e.g., 12V 5A) paired with a low-power screen could potentially overload the screen's power supply causing overheating or shutdown issues. Skyworth Display recommends cross-examining the power parameters of both the LED display module and Screen to ensure smooth functioning.
The screen size and installation structure also impose limitations on the compatibility of the LED display module. Skyworth Display states that LED display modules come in standard sizes (e.g., 320×160mm 640×320mm) that are designed for modular拼接 (tiling several modules to form large screens ). For instance, a 640×320mm LED display module perfectly fits large outdoor screens (e.g., 5m×3m) that use several modules. In contrast, small screens, for instance, a 10 inch tablet screen, have an LED display module that is too large to be installed in it. Curved screens require flexible LED display modules, while flat screens use rigid modules. A rigid LED display module on a curved screen will either have gaps or will damage the module. Therefore, the shape and size of the screen dictate what types of LED display modules can be used.
Skyworth Display provides a number of LED display module solutions to improve compatibility with various screens, addressing the ‘one size fits all concept.
They have display modules with resolutions ranging from 720P to 8K with different pixel pitch modules ranging from (P1.5-P10). Including various interfaces (HDMI DVI LVDS) for both modern and legacy screens. For energy compatibility Skyworth modules offer adjustable-voltage LED modules ranging from (5V-24V). For specialized screens, they offer custom-sized modules such as 100x100mm for mobile devices as well as flexible modules for curved screens. Skyworth Display also offers compatibility testing. LED display modules are tested and seamlessly connected to screens for performance optimization. With these solutions, Skyworth Display assists users in identifying the best LED display module for their screens. This demonstrates that compatibility, unlike most electronics, is proven to rely on precise matching.
