What's The P3 P4 P5 P6 P8 P10 Outdoor LED Display?

Product Description

In the LED display industry, P refers to the meaning of “pixel pitch”. A complete LED display is made up of many small modules, and each module is composed of many lamp beads, and there will be a certain distance between each lamp bead and the lamp bead, and this distance varies from 1.25mm to 20mm. What we usually call the LED display screen P describes the distance between the centers of the two lamp beads. , the dot spacing is usually in mm, the smaller the dot spacing, the higher the density, the better the definition, and the higher the price.

Like P3 P4 P5 P6 P8 P10, their dot spacing is 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm respectively. The smaller the dot spacing, the better the effect of close viewing.

To thoroughly understand what the LED display P means, you need to understand the following knowledge points in detail. The first is the classification and model of the LED display:

Therefore, if we want to distinguish P3, P4, P5, P6, P8, P10 outdoor LED displays, we first need to observe the information of LED modules. For some parameter differences between them, we can check the table below.

Next, we will introduce them in detail one by one based on the parameters listed in the table above.

What is P3 LED display?

From the above definition of point spacing and the P3 LED screen specifications in the table, we can see that LED screen P3 is spliced using P3 LED modules. It is a 3mm LED screen and is suitable for viewing by people within a range of 3 to 6 meters..

P4 vs P6 LED screen

From the P4 LED screen specifications listed in the table above, there is not much difference between the two, but if you measure the lamp beads inside, you will find that the pixel pitch of the P4 LED module size is 2 mm smaller than the pixel pitch of the P6 LED module.

In terms of physical characteristics, the P4 LED screen will have a higher pixel density than the P6 LED screen. For example, the P4 LED display screen has about 62,500 pixels per square meter, while the P6 LED screen has only 40,000 pixels per square meter. This means that the P4 LED wall can display more detailed and higher-resolution images than the P6 wall.

In actual applications, we will also find that P4 is suitable for viewing at a relatively close distance, about 4-8 meters, while P6 is suitable for viewing at a longer distance, and the approximate viewing distance is between 6-12 meters.

From the table above, we can see that the mutual parameters between different modules also show certain regular changes. For example, the driving mode of the p4 outdoor led module is 10 scans, while the driving mode of the P5 LED module is 8 scans. Therefore, the smaller the dot pitch, the higher the scanning mode.

From the model point of view, for the same P5 LED module, the p5 outdoor LED panel and the indoor P5 module are generally waterproof and dustproof, so the price of the outdoor module is generally higher than that of the indoor module.

difference between P5 and P10 led display

The point spacing between P5 and P10 is quite different, so the difference is also very obvious, LED P5 vs P10 mainly in the following aspects:

1. Placement environment:

P5 LED display can be placed indoors and outdoors, but P10 is rarely placed indoors and is usually only placed outdoors, so P10 LED display is often called P10 outdoor LED display.

2. LED packaging technology:

Due to the relatively large dot pitch of P10, in addition to SMD (surface mount) LED packaging, there is also a PTP (direct plug-in) LED packaging. For models below P10, currently only SMD LED packaging is left.

3. Viewing distance:

The viewing distance of the P5 LED display is between 5-10 meters, but the viewing distance of the LED display p10 outdoor can reach up to 25 meters.

4. Brightness:

Since the P10 LED display is placed outdoors and the viewing distance is relatively long, the brightness is also the highest. The brightness of the outdoor P10 LED display can reach up to 7500, and other P5 and P6 LED displays are usually around 6500.

P6 vs P10 LED display

Since the overall perception of P6 and P5 is not much different when viewed from a distance of about 6 meters, the difference can only be felt when viewed at a distance of about 5 or 4 meters. We have introduced the differences between P5 and P10 in detail above, so we will not repeat them here. The comparison between P5 and P10 can also be applied to the comparison between P6 and P10.

When looking for clearer picture quality at a closer distance, you can give priority to the P5 indoor LED display. If the budget is tight, then you can choose the P6 indoor LED display as the next best option.

P8 LED display VS P10 display

There are many differences between P8 and P10 in terms of their specifications. As can be seen from the table above, in the specifications of the P8 LED module, the pixels per square meter are 15,625, while the P10 has 10,000.

Although the difference between the two is 5625 points, if you watch it from a distance of 9-10 meters, you will not feel much difference.

The advantage of P10 over P8 is that at longer viewing distances, such as 15 meters away, the P8 LED display will be slightly blurry. Conversely, at a closer distance, such as within 8 meters, the P8 will appear clearer.

Regarding the P10 LED display, you may also want to know the following questions:

Is P10 the largest dot pitch among LED panels?

4 years ago, there were many larger models than the LED P10 panel, such as P12, P16, P20, etc. However, due to people’s pursuit of clearer picture quality, these larger models of LED modules have been eliminated, and there are only a handful of them. LED factories are still producing.

How heavy is the cabinet of the P10 LED display?

Although the processes of each LED cabinet manufacturer are different, there is no particularly big difference in weight. We selected the data of the five most commonly used p10 LED display cabinet manufacturers and found that the total weight of one square meter of P10 LED display cabinet is between 45-48kg.

What is the difference between P10 outdoor LED display and P10 indoor display?

Because the pixel pitch of P10 is relatively large, it is generally less used indoors, but there are still differences between indoor and outdoor LED displays.

The P10 outdoor LED display panel module uses the P10 outdoor LED module. There are three types of P10 outdoor full-color LED display, P10 outdoor monochrome display and P10 outdoor two-color display. Compared with the indoor P10 LED module, the LED module p10 outdoor needs to add waterproof ring, and the cabinet must also use a standard waterproof box to achieve the waterproof and dustproof effect. P10 indoor cabinets generally use simple cabinets.

What software will be used for P10 LED display debugging?

When we purchase the LED display, sometimes we need to debug it for some scenarios. Take the P10 LED display as an example. During the debugging process of the P10 outdoor LED display, the following software may be used:

1. Control card software:

P10 LED displays usually require a control card to control display content and parameter settings. The control card usually provides corresponding software for setting display content, brightness, color and other parameters, as well as debugging and monitoring. Different brands of control cards may use different software, please download and install the corresponding control card software according to the brand and model of the control card you are using. We click on the link next to it and select P10 LED display software download: LED display control software download

2. LED editing software:

LED editing software is generally used to create and edit the display content of the LED screen. They usually provide a user interface that can import pictures, videos and other media files, edit, adjust and arrange them to generate content that can be displayed on the LED screen. Common LED editing software includes LED Studio, LEDVISION,and HDPlayer etc. You can choose the corresponding editing software according to your LED screen brand and model.

3. Display monitoring software:

Depending on the usage scenarios, some outdoor LED displays will be equipped with a monitoring system to monitor and manage the status, temperature and other information of the display in real time. With the assistance of monitoring software, we can remotely monitor and manage LED displays.

Since it is used in specific scenarios, it will vary depending on the brand or model. When using, please refer to the corresponding user manual or download the latest user manual from the official website to operate.

What are the application scenarios of P10 outdoor LED displays?

Due to the large pixel spacing of the P10 outdoor LED display, it is suitable for viewing at higher or longer distances. It can be made into a digital signage with a height of 10-20 meters and used as a traffic sign. It can also be made into a large stage background for stage performances.

In addition, we can also see “P” signs in some parking lots. Most of these illuminated signs are also made using P10 LED signs, so this is also one of its common application scenarios.
