LED screen cabinet is the modular unit of the LED display screen. The area of a led display is generally large. And the LED cabinet is a unit that composes the complete screen.
In other words, you can think of the led cabinet itself as a small-sized LED display. So, as long as you understand the LED cabinet, you will be familiar with the LED display.
This article will take the various components of the LED cabinet as an entry point to introduce the use and function of the LED screen cabinet. If you are interested in this, let’s read together!
1. What is a LED Screen Cabinet?
Like a human is made up of various organs, LED display screens also consist of many parts. LED screen cabinet is an independent module that constitutes a large-area LED display screen.
To facilitate transportation and installation, dividing it into smaller units is the most realistic and feasible solution. When the workers spliced these led cabinets together, you can see a complete led display screen.
As an independent LED display unit, the LED screen cabinets consist of many parts. These components perform their duties, but they cannot work alone. Next, let us take a look at the elements of the LED screen cabinet.
2. A Complete LED Screen Cabinet
Generally speaking, a complete LED cabinet is mainly composed of seven parts. Among them, the LED module is the most crucial part. It is an essential factor for the LED display to emit light.
(1). LED display module
The LED display module is one of the main components that make up the finished LED display. It mainly consists of led lights, PCB circuit boards, connectors, kits, driver ICs and other parts.
1) Led light
Types of LED modules usually include DIP and SMD LED modules, in addition to GOB and Mini LED modules. The pixel pitch is between 3mm and 25mm. The smaller the pixel pitch, the higher the resolution per square meter, and the clearer the picture.
DIP LED module
The direct plug-in LED module is to make three light-emitting tubes together into a pixel point module, which is directly installed on the PCB board and soldered.
The process is relatively simple, and the cost is low. The distinguishing feature of DIP LED is its stability and durability, and it is mainly working outdoors. Compared with SMD LED module, the DIP LED module has high brightness.
SMD LED module
SMD 3IN1 technology refers to the encapsulation and synthesis of three light-emitting points in one light-emitting tube.
This packaging technology has a high requirement for materials and processes in the production process. SMD is currently the packaging technology most inclined to use by LED display manufacturers on the market.
The lamps used in SMD modules consist of many models. Usually, indoor displays use SMD1515, SMD1010, SMD2020, and outdoor displays use SMD1921, SMD1415, SMD2727, and SMD3535.
For example, the outdoor P10 SMD series uses SMD3535, and its brightness is generally 5500-7000nits. However, SMD LEDs may have quality problems such as dead LEDs and display mosaics under bad weather conditions.
GOB LED module
GOB LED display module adopts surface glue pouring process. This special surface coating has super high protection ability. Waterproof, dustproof, anti-scratch.
Compared with traditional SMD, it has the characteristics of high protection, moisture-proof, waterproof, anti-collision, and anti-ultraviolet. It can be applied in harsher environments, avoiding dead lights and lights on a large scale.
COB LED module
COB is the abbreviation of Chip-on-board. It refers to the bare LED chip directly contacting with the substrate (such as silicon carbide or sapphire) to produce an LED array. COB technology increases the packaging density of the LED array, thereby increasing the lumen density. At the same time, the use of cob technology has reduced the footprint and energy consumption of the LED, but the light output remains unchanged.
Mimi LED
Mini LED is also called a sub-millimeter light-emitting diode. It uses 100-200 micron LED crystals. And it is an improved version of the traditional LED backlight. Mini LED technology is considered as a transitional technology between the SMD LED and Micro LED. Using Mini LED can produce 0.5-1.2 mm pixel particle display screens, and the display effect is much better than traditional LED screens.
2) PCB of LED Module
PCB is the abbreviation of Printed Circuit Board. It is an electronic component and supports electronic components. The function of the PCB is to realize the interconnection of the circuits between various elements of the LED module. The PCB consists of an insulating bottom plate, connecting wires, and pads for mounting and soldering electronic components.
3) Kits, Connectors, Cables
The kits mainly include a waterproof rubber ring, a mask, etc. They are used to protect the LED lights. The kits used by UNIT LED come from the first-line brand-Shin Kong. The connector includes a power connector and a data connector. Wires include module power cables and module data cables.
4) Driver IC
The LED display control system is a system that controls the correct display of a LED screen according to customer needs. According to the access signal mode, it can be divided into the synchronous system and asynchronous system.
The LED display control card is the core component of the LED display. In a word, its function is to convert external video input signals or onboard multimedia files into digital signals that are easy to identify on the LED screen.
UNIT LED products mainly use the control cards of the first-line brands of Novastar and Colorlight. Their control effect is good. Special-shaped LED displays use Mosier’s cards. We will configure a suitable control card for your LED display screen according to your actual project situation and your requirements.
(2). LED Power Supply
The power supply is a device that converts other forms of energy into electrical energy and provides electrical energy to the LED display module.
UNIT LED mainly uses MEANWELL, G-ENERGY, CHUANGLIAN, and other brands of power supply devices. Many people in the LED industry recognize MEANWELL as the most suitable LED power supply manufacturer. Its input voltage is generally 220V±10%/110V±10%.
(3). LED Display Cabinet
First of all, the cabinet we are referring to here means the frame of the LED screen. As a part of the finished LED display cabinet, its function is to contain all the components.
Secondly, according to the different materials used, it can be divided into the metal cabinet, die-casting aluminum cabinet, aluminum cabinet, magnesium cabinet, and new material cabinet.
Because of the heavyweight of metal cabinets, they are easy to see in indoor and outdoor screens with fixed installation. Die-cast aluminum cabinets and magnesium cabinets are lighter than metal.
So, they are popular in LED rental displays. New materials refer to plastic and resin composite materials. As a new technology, because the risks in its use are not yet known, few LED video wall cabinet manufacturers use new materials.
(4). LED Receiving Card
Receiving card & hub card are the control system of the LED screen. Usually, the sending card is in the PCI-E slot of the control PC, and the data is collected and transmitted to the LED screen. The receiving card is in each cabinet of the LED display. Its task is to receive data from the sending card and run the LED display.
(5). Connector
There are three main categories: power aviation plug, data aviation plug, and internal wiring of the box.
(6). Cooling Fans
The function of the fan is to cool down the heat. There are three main types of fans: oil retaining bearing fans, ball fans, and silent fans. Among them, the quiet fan has the advantages of low noise and a long lifespan.
(7). Cables
There are many types of various wires. For example, there are power cords, CAT-5e network cables, connecting cables between power supplies, receiving card power supply cables, etc.
3. Types of LED Screen Cabinet
According to different working environments, different types of cabinets have their characteristics.
(1). Fixed LED Screen Cabinet
This style of cabinets has indoor and outdoor two types. Firstly, outdoor display cabinets need to deal with various weather conditions.
Therefore, a double back door design is generally adopted. The iron cabinet is wear-resistant and relatively bulky. The average weight of this cabinet is 40-50kg per square meter.
Secondly, the installation of fixed cabinets installed indoors does not have to consider the influence of the weather.
Therefore, its walls tend to be thinner and have more openings. Meanwhile, their prices are relatively low. So they are favored by shops and shops.
2.LED Screen Cabinet Used for Renting
Rental LED display screen is easy to see in various activities or exhibition sites. The workplace determines its characteristics: lightweight, easy to transport, and fast to install and disassemble.
The size of this type of cabinet does not support customization, because they are extruded with a mold of a specific size. UNIT rental LED display has two sizes：500×500, 500×1000(mm). You can stitch them together.
4. Maintenance Method of LED Screen Cabinet
There are two maintenance methods for the LED display: front and rear maintenance. As the name implies, the front maintenance is the maintenance and overhaul from the front of the cabinet.
And the rear maintenance is the maintenance and overhaul from the back of the cabinet. These two maintenance methods can exist in a LED cabinet. It is called dual maintenance.
(1). Front maintenance
The magnetic element and the LED screen cabinet are fixed by magnetic adsorption. When disassembling, use the suction cup tool to remove the led module directly from the front of the box to realize the front maintenance of the screen.
With the rise of small-pitch LEDs, front-maintenance indoor LED display products have gradually dominated the market. This front maintenance method can make the screen structure lighter and thinner, blending with the surrounding environment, and highlighting the visual expression effect.
(2). Rear maintenance
Large-scale LED display screens used for building exterior walls adopt rear maintenance and must be designed with maintenance channels.
The purpose is to facilitate maintenance personnel to perform maintenance and repairs from the back of the screen. Installation and disassembly are cumbersome, time-consuming, and laborious.
The rear maintenance method is suitable for installation scenarios such as roof type and column installation, and the maintenance efficiency is high. Customers can choose maintenance methods according to actual needs.
