Why Outdoor Is Different

FIVE QUESTIONS
EVERY OUTDOOR BUYER
ACTUALLY HAS.

01

“I have a size and a viewing distance. What pixel pitch do I need?”

Most outdoor enquiries arrive with exactly this information — no pixel pitch, no brightness spec. That is enough. Send us your screen dimensions and the nearest viewing distance and an engineer responds same day with a complete recommendation. The rule of thumb: minimum viewing distance in metres ÷ 1,000 = maximum pixel pitch in mm. We verify this for your specific site conditions.

02

“Will it survive rain, dust, and heat?”

IP65 on the front face only is not sufficient for outdoor fixed installations — water enters through the rear cabinet seams. Both Square 960 and Square 1000 carry IP65 on both front and rear faces. FO Series is IP66 front and rear. Operating temperature range is -20°C to +60°C — covering Gulf region summer heat and Northern European winter. Common cathode option reduces heat generation by approximately 30%, extending component life in sustained high-temperature environments.

03

“How do I mount this? Can you help with the structure?”

We cannot design or fabricate steel structures — that requires a licensed local structural engineer. What we provide at no charge: cabinet layout drawings, mounting point load specifications, power distribution diagrams, and signal routing schematics — the documents your structural engineer needs to design the frame. US orders fulfilled through our distribution partner include full installation and commissioning service.

04

“What is the warranty and can I get parts later?”

Standard warranty is 2 years on Square 960 and Square 1000. We lock module SKU specifications across production runs — the module supplied with your order remains reorderable at the same part number. For ongoing DOOH network operators, we recommend maintaining a spare module inventory of 2–3% of total screen area to cover field replacements between reorder cycles.

05

“What is common cathode and does it matter?”

Common cathode technology supplies separate voltages to the red, green, and blue sub-pixels rather than a shared higher voltage across all three. The result: approximately 30% lower power consumption and meaningfully lower operating temperature at the same brightness level. In sustained high-temperature outdoor environments — particularly Saudi Arabia, UAE, and other Gulf markets — this translates to longer component life and reduced cooling requirements. Available as an option on Square 960 and Square 1000.

TECHNOLOGY · Common Cathode

30% Less Power.
Longer Life in Heat.

Standard LED drivers supply one shared voltage to red, green, and blue sub-pixels. Because each colour requires a different forward voltage, excess energy is lost as heat. Common cathode supplies each colour with its own matched voltage — eliminating that waste.

The practical result for outdoor installations: lower operating temperature at the cabinet level, reduced stress on driver ICs, and measurably longer component life. In markets like Saudi Arabia and the UAE — where ambient temperatures exceed 45°C for months at a time — this is a meaningful difference, not a marketing claim.

Common cathode is available as a factory option on Square 960 and Square 1000. Specify at order stage — it cannot be retrofitted.

Response

“Almost every outdoor enquiry we receive says the same thing: here is the screen size, here is the viewing distance. That is genuinely enough to work with. Pixel pitch is a calculation — distance divided by a constant. Brightness follows from the installation environment. What actually takes engineering judgement is the mounting load documentation, the power circuit sizing, and the common cathode decision for hot climates. We provide all of that with every quote, at no charge — because the integrator on-site needs those documents to do their job, and most suppliers do not supply them.”

FAQ

OUTDOOR LED DISPLAY:
QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU SPECIFY.

An outdoor LED display is a weatherproof LED video wall or billboard panel built for permanent fixed installation in open-air environments. The key differences from indoor LED are high-brightness output (typically 4,000–10,000 nits for direct sunlight visibility), IP-rated enclosures protecting against dust and water, and operating temperature ranges covering extreme heat and cold. Outdoor LED displays are used for roadside billboards, building facades, DOOH advertising networks, transportation hubs, and stadium screens.
The standard rule: minimum viewing distance (in metres) ÷ 1,000 gives the maximum recommended pixel pitch in millimetres. For a billboard viewed from a minimum of 10m, P10 is sufficient. For a facade screen viewed from 5m, P5 or finer is appropriate. For close-viewing semi-outdoor applications under 5m, the FO Series (P1.2–P2.5) is designed for this scenario. Send us your screen dimensions and minimum viewing distance — an engineer will confirm the right pitch same day, including a brightness recommendation for your specific environment.
Both IP65 and IP66 provide full dust protection (the “6” first digit). The difference is water resistance: IP65 protects against low-pressure water jets from any direction. IP66 protects against high-pressure water jets. For most fixed outdoor LED billboard and facade applications, IP65 is the correct and sufficient specification. IP66 (as used in the FO Series) is appropriate for installations subject to direct high-pressure cleaning, or in environments with unusually severe weather exposure. An important note: always confirm that IP65 applies to both front and rear faces — rear-only IP40 cabinets are common and inadequate for exposed outdoor mounting.
Direct noon sunlight measures approximately 100,000 lux. For adequate contrast at that ambient level, an outdoor LED screen requires a minimum of 5,000 nits — and 6,000–6,500 nits is the recommended specification for billboards in direct sun. For shaded facades or covered outdoor environments, 3,500–4,500 nits is typically sufficient. Screens rated below 4,000 nits will appear washed out in direct midday sun. Our Square 960 and Square 1000 series deliver 5,500–6,500 nits as standard, with 10,000 nits available on request for extreme environments.
We provide free engineering reference documents with every outdoor order: cabinet layout drawings, mounting point load specifications (weight per mount point), power distribution diagrams, and signal routing schematics. These documents give your local structural engineer the data they need to design the steel frame or mounting system. We do not provide full structural engineering services or on-site fabrication — that requires a licensed structural engineer in your jurisdiction. For orders in the United States, our distribution partner provides full on-site installation and commissioning. Contact us to confirm US coverage for your location.
Standard LED driving supplies a shared voltage to all three sub-pixels (red, green, blue). Since each colour has a different forward voltage requirement, excess energy is lost as heat. Common cathode supplies each colour with its own matched voltage, eliminating that waste. The result is approximately 30% lower power consumption and a lower operating temperature at the cabinet level — with no reduction in brightness. In sustained high-temperature environments such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, and other Gulf markets, this lower thermal load translates to longer component life. Common cathode is available as a factory option on Square 960 and Square 1000 and must be specified at order stage.
Transportation hubs — airports, train stations, bus terminals — typically involve semi-outdoor or covered environments with viewing distances ranging from 3m to 15m depending on the installation point. For concourse and gate screens at 3–8m viewing distance, the FO Series (P1.2–P2.5, IP66) is the appropriate specification: fine pitch for clarity at close range, IP66 for environments subject to cleaning and humidity. For large-format exterior facades or roadside signage adjacent to a terminal, Square 960 or Square 1000 at higher brightness is more appropriate. Send the viewing distance and whether the face sits under cover or in direct sun — we will confirm FO or Square, and the brightness, before you order.
Outdoor LED displays are rated for 100,000 hours of LED lifespan under controlled conditions — approximately 10–12 years at continuous operation. Real-world service life depends heavily on ambient temperature, brightness setting, and maintenance frequency. We lock module SKU specifications across production runs, meaning the module supplied with your order remains reorderable at the same part number for ongoing maintenance. We recommend DOOH network operators hold a spare inventory of approximately 2–3% of total screen area to cover field replacements. Standard warranty is 2 years on Square 960 and Square 1000.
Application Note · 3D Naked-Eye LED Billboard

What Is a 3D Naked-Eye LED Display?

A 3D naked-eye LED billboard uses an L-shaped or curved screen configuration — typically two display faces at a 90° corner — combined with anamorphic content produced specifically for that geometry. When viewed from the correct angle, the forced perspective creates the illusion of objects extending beyond the screen surface, without requiring glasses or special equipment.

The display hardware itself is standard outdoor LED — the effect is entirely content-driven. Key requirements: high brightness (6,000–6,500 nits minimum) for outdoor visibility, precise corner alignment between the two faces, and refresh rates high enough to avoid banding in video content. Square 1000 P3.91–P6.25 is the recommended platform for 3D naked-eye applications given its large-format cabinet and precise corner assembly options.

The anamorphic content must be produced by a specialist content studio — this is typically the larger cost and timeline item compared to the display hardware itself.

For DOOH Network Operators

Running Multiple Screens Across Multiple Sites?

DOOH network operators have different requirements from single-site buyers. The priorities are SKU consistency across the network, long-term spare parts availability, and a supplier who can fulfil repeat orders at the same specification years after the initial deployment.

We lock module SKU specifications across production runs — the panel you deploy in site 1 today will match the panels you add to site 20 in three years. Our Saudi Arabia DOOH client has been reordering at the same specification since 2023 across 20 city-centre locations with no SKU substitutions.

— Spare module inventory recommendations per 100㎡
— Consistent mounting drawings across sites
— Engineer contact for ongoing technical support
