Creative & Custom LED Displays A transparent pricing breakdown — what you pay per module, per square metre of hardware, and for a complete turnkey installation. No vague ranges. No “contact us for pricing.” Real numbers from DOIT VISION’s factory floor, Q2 2026.
- Flexible LED pricing comes in three tiers: DIY modules ($18–$100/piece), hardware-only panels ($700–$1,200/m²), and full turnkey ($1,500–$5,000/m²) — comparing across tiers is meaningless
- By pixel pitch: P1.2–P1.5 costs $1,800–$3,500+/m², P2.0–P2.5 costs $800–$1,500/m², P3.0–P4.0 costs $400–$800/m², P5.0–P10 costs $250–$600/m² (turnkey pricing)
- Flexible PCB costs twice as much as standard rigid PCB — this plus slower assembly and longer testing accounts for the 30–50% premium over equivalent rigid modules
- Flexible LED saves roughly 30% on power compared to traditional LED displays due to natural heat dissipation — no enclosed casing means no fans needed
Three Pricing Tiers — Which One Are You Actually Buying?
The first thing to understand about flexible LED pricing is that there is no single “price per square metre.” What you pay depends entirely on what is included in the quote. A module-only price and a turnkey price for the same display can differ by a factor of four — and both quotes are legitimate. They are just for different things.
| Pricing Tier | What You Get | Price Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 — DIY Modules | Individual flexible LED modules only — you build the frame, wire the power, configure the control system, and handle installation | $18–$100 per module (240×120mm or 320×160mm) |
Experienced AV integrators with in-house fabrication and installation capability |
| Tier 2 — Hardware-Only | Flexible LED panels (modules + receiving cards + cabling) — no structural frame, no sending card, no installation | $700–$1,200/m² | Projects with local structural fabrication, own control system, and in-house installation team |
| Tier 3 — Full Turnkey | Everything: modules + control system + structural frame + shipping + professional installation + content mapping files + configuration | $1,500–$5,000/m² | Projects wanting a single supplier and single point of contact from factory floor to illuminated screen |
Someone sees a $700/m² hardware-only quote and compares it to a competitor’s $3,500/m² turnkey quote. They think the competitor is expensive. They are comparing modules to an installed, configured, warrantied screen. Always clarify which tier the quote represents before comparing prices.
Full Turnkey Cost by Pixel Pitch — Real Numbers per m²
Pixel pitch is the primary cost driver. A P1.25 module has over 640,000 pixels per square metre. A P4 module has only 40,000. More pixels = more LED packages = more driver ICs = higher cost. Here is the full turnkey pricing by pitch range, based on DOIT VISION factory-direct pricing, Q2 2026.
| Pixel Pitch Range | Pixels per m² | Typical Application | Turnkey Cost (per m²) | 10m² Project | 30m² Project |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P1.2–P1.5 | 444,444–694,444 | High-end retail, close viewing, museum | $1,800–$3,500+ | $18,000–$35,000+ | $54,000–$105,000+ |
| P2.0–P2.5 | 160,000–250,000 | Corporate lobbies, exhibitions, retail | $800–$1,500 | $8,000–$15,000 | $24,000–$45,000 |
| P3.0–P4.0 | 62,500–111,111 | Shopping malls, stage, curved facades | $400–$800 | $4,000–$8,000 | $12,000–$24,000 |
| P5.0–P10 | 10,000–40,000 | Large outdoor signage, stadium, long-distance | $250–$600 | $2,500–$6,000 | $7,500–$18,000 |
The 10m² and 30m² estimates are based on the lower half of the range — standard module size, standard lead time (20–30 business days), Novastar control system, and sea freight to a major European or North American port.
Why Flexible LED Costs More Than Rigid LED
For the same pixel pitch and LED model, flexible modules cost 30–50% more than equivalent rigid modules. This premium comes from three unavoidable cost factors in manufacturing.
A flexible polyimide (PI) PCB costs roughly twice as much as a standard rigid FR-4 fiberglass PCB of the same size. The PI film is a more expensive raw material, and the serpentine copper trace pattern requires more precise etching than the straight traces on a rigid board.
The SMT (surface-mount technology) pick-and-place process runs roughly 15–20% slower on flexible substrates. The vacuum pickup heads on standard SMT lines do not grip flexible PCBs as reliably as rigid ones, requiring speed reductions to maintain placement accuracy.
Every flexible module undergoes a 72-hour aging test in its bent configuration — not flat. This is longer than rigid module aging tests because the bent state places the PCB under continuous mechanical stress, and any solder joint weakness that survives 24 hours flat may fail at 48 hours bent.
Additionally, flexible modules generally use higher-performance driver ICs because the limited space on the back of a flexible PCB cannot accommodate the larger, cheaper ICs found on rigid modules. This improves visual quality (supporting up to 7680Hz refresh and 18-bit colour on select models) but adds to the component cost.
What Drives the Price Up — Beyond Pixel Pitch
- Outdoor adds 30–50% to indoor pricing
- IP65 weatherproofing required both sides
- Brightness: 4,500–6,500 nits vs 500–600cd standard indoor
- UV-resistant encapsulation and galvanised steel frame add cost
- Perfect sphere or complex “S” curve requires custom-engineered frame
- Adds 40–60% to labour and structural costs
- Custom module sizes (non-standard 240×120 or 320×160) add 15–25%
- Broadcast/filming needs 3840Hz+ refresh → more expensive driver chips
- 7680Hz on select 250×125mm models
- GOB (Glue on Board) protection adds approximately 15% to module cost
Hidden Costs — The Extras That Add 20–30% to Your Initial Quote
$500–$3,000. Required to send the video signal to the wall. Novastar MCTRL4K is approximately $1,200–$1,800. A basic processor for a small display starts at $500. A 4K processor for a large curved wall can reach $3,000.
Large flexible LED screens require specialized crating because the modules must be shipped flat, not stacked under weight. Sea freight from Shenzhen: $300–$800/m³ (20–30 days transit). Air freight: $3,000–$5,000 for a typical 2m³ shipment (5–7 days).
$2,000–$15,000. Custom-shaped screens (circles, pillars, waves) require specifically formatted video content to look correct. The content must be mapped to the curve geometry. DOIT VISION provides the pixel map file — the creative content is separate.
Because flexible LED modules are thin (5–10mm) and have no enclosed casing, they dissipate heat naturally — no fans, no active cooling. This saves approximately 30% on power consumption compared to traditional LED displays, reducing long-term operating costs. Over the 5–7 year lifespan of a commercial installation, this energy saving can offset a significant portion of the upfront module premium.
Flexible vs Rigid LED — Total Project Cost for Curved Walls
Rigid LED modules are cheaper per square metre at the same pixel pitch — but only the modules are cheaper. For a curved installation, rigid modules require custom angled brackets at every module junction, a heavier structural frame to support the bracket assembly, and 30–50% more installation labour to align each bracket individually. The result is a faceted curve with visible lines, not a smooth continuous surface.
For most curved installations over 10m², flexible LED is the lower total-cost solution. The 30–50% module premium is more than offset by eliminating custom angled brackets, simplifying the structural frame, and reducing installation labour. Plus, you get a smooth continuous curve instead of a faceted polygon. The crossover point — where flexible becomes cheaper — is approximately any project where the rigid-LED custom bracket cost exceeds $3,000.

Cost — Questions Buyers Actually Ask
How much does a flexible LED display cost?
DOIT VISION flexible LED pricing has three tiers: (1) DIY individual modules $18–$100 per piece (240×120mm or 320×160mm), (2) Hardware-only panels $700–$1,200/m² (modules + receiving cards + cabling, no frame or installation), (3) Full turnkey $1,500–$5,000/m² (everything including control system, structural frame, shipping, and installation). By pixel pitch (turnkey): P1.2–P1.5 costs $1,800–$3,500+/m², P2.0–P2.5 costs $800–$1,500/m², P3.0–P4.0 costs $400–$800/m², P5.0–P10 costs $250–$600/m².
Why does flexible LED cost more than rigid LED?
Three manufacturing factors: (1) Flexible polyimide PCB costs roughly twice as much as standard rigid FR-4 fiberglass PCB, (2) SMT pick-and-place assembly runs 15–20% slower on flexible substrates because vacuum heads grip less reliably, (3) every module undergoes a 72-hour aging test in its bent configuration — longer than rigid module testing. Additionally, flexible modules use higher-performance driver ICs due to limited back-space. Combined, these factors produce a 30–50% premium over equivalent rigid modules at the same pixel pitch.
What hidden costs should I budget for?
Three major hidden costs that add 20–30% beyond the initial module quote: (1) Video Processor — $500–$3,000 required to send signal to the wall (Novastar MCTRL4K is $1,200–$1,800), (2) Specialized crating and shipping — sea freight $300–$800/m³ (20–30 days) or air freight $3,000–$5,000 (5–7 days) for a typical 2m³ shipment, (3) Content creation — $2,000–$15,000 for custom-shaped screen content formatted to the curve geometry. Always request a line-item quotation separating all components.
Is flexible LED cheaper than rigid LED for curved walls?
For most curved installations over 10m², yes — flexible LED is the lower total-cost solution. While flexible modules cost 30–50% more per square meter, they eliminate custom angled brackets, simplify the structural frame, and reduce installation labour by roughly 30%. The crossover point is approximately any project where the rigid-LED custom bracket cost exceeds $3,000. Plus, flexible LED delivers a smooth continuous curve instead of a faceted polygon with visible joint lines.
How much does shipping a flexible LED display cost?
A typical 30m² indoor flexible LED shipment (approximately 2m³, 650–800 kg) costs $600–$1,600 via sea freight (20–30 days transit) or $3,000–$5,000 via air freight (5–7 days). Add $1,500–$3,500 for import duties, port handling fees, and local delivery to the installation site. Total logistics: approximately $2,500–$6,000. FOB (you handle forwarding) or CIF (we handle to destination port) terms both available.
Does flexible LED save energy compared to traditional LED displays?
Yes — approximately 30% power savings. Because flexible modules are ultra-thin (5–10mm) and have no enclosed casing, they dissipate heat naturally through the module surface. No fans, no active cooling required. Over a 5–7 year commercial installation lifespan, the energy savings offset a significant portion of the upfront module premium. Additionally, the simpler structural frame (no custom angled brackets needed) reduces material costs and weight.
