Indoor LED Screens have been gaining prominence as LCT, TFT or LED monitors or televisions became “small” and a larger viewing area was needed to reproduce the content more effectively or so that it could be seen better in front of a larger audience or because you no longer want to have the limitation of seeing the frame or sores between monitors of the video walls or even because the right level of brightness is not obtained in the face of outdoor light pollution or other artificial lighting elements, not to mention the useful life, being much longer that of LED screens for indoors.

All Indoor LED Screens They have to go through manufacturing processes where they have to be prepared to be protected against solid and liquid elements, therefore, they have to offer an index of protection against water, dust, etc., and although in some cases they do not need the protection indexes of outdoor screens they do have to be prepared against dust, splashes of liquid, blows and traffic of people in the case of screens installed on the floor.

In our product development strategy, within our indoor LED screens we have to differentiate between screens for fixed installation represented by our Alfalite MODULARPIX and UHD FINEPIX panels and rental screens for ephemeral events, led by our Alfalite LITEPIX panel. They are screens that range from an IP20 protection index to IP65, which means that they are fully protected against dust and water and require a switch-on protocol to cause a drying of the moisture accumulated by rain or condensation, while those that are used by rental companies to provide temporary coverage have to be cleaned and dried after each event to provide temporary coverage. Extend the life of the display component while they are stored without use.

ALFALITE MODULARPIX panels for indoor LED display

1. Alfalite Modularpix Pro

It is the panel designed for our most demanding installations in critical environments that need to operate 7x24x365 and with a panel life of more than 100,000 real hours, with a level of brightness and colorimetry that allows the user to maintain the quality of their visualizations throughout the useful life of the panel.

2. Alfalite Modularpix Pro HB

It is the panel designed for our most demanding installations and with a panel life of more than 100,000 real hours, with high brightness due to light pollution or because the sun is falling directly on the screen and that allows the customer to maintain the quality of their visualizations throughout the useful life of the panel.

3. Alfalite Modularpix Lite

It is the panel designed for the Retail or Shopping Centers environment, which do not have a requirement to work 24 hours without interruption, nor the criticality of environments such as the Broadcast or crisis rooms, but that maintains the quality of Alfalite both in the design and in the choice of components.

4. Alfalite Modular Crystal

It is our transparent panel, widely used in the world of Retail for shop windows, thanks to its physical characteristic of allowing you to “see through the panel” and with a high level of brightness to be able to counteract the action of direct sunlight.

In the protection section, it is worth mentioning the patent developed by Alfalite, called ORIM (Optical Resin Injection Module), a revolutionary finish of an optical injection of resin in the LEDs for the Alfalite Modularpix Pro and Alfalite Litepix models, which allows:

  • Greater precision between modules. <0.05 mm.
  • Improved horizontal and vertical viewing angle. 175º/175º.
  • Superior antistatic electrical protection. ESD>10KV.
  • Better fire resistance parameters. UL94-0 compliance.
  • Increased protection against shocks and water.
  • Ease of cleaning and less deterioration.
  • Shortest repair time on the market

In short, the ORIM finish of our panels is an ideal protection for:

  1. Indoor entertainment or digital advertising facilities, where the indoor LED screen is within easy reach of the public and there may be vandalism or simply accidents due to the public’s proximity to the screens.
  2. In Televisions where a greater angle of view is required for productions with very angled camera shots, reaching up to the 175º both horizontal and vertical mentioned above.
  3. Or for the Rental Market that allows the protection of the LED during the assembly and dismantling of the different contracted events, drastically lowering the level of incident and repair of the LED Display and making the screen have a higher ROI thanks to the lower repair rate, allowing a greater exploitation of the screen by not having to continuously go through the repair size.

Within this same protection section and the case of the UHD Finepix model, the technique used is that of COB (Chip On Board), it is an encapsulation technology in which all the chips are integrated directly into a special PCB board. During the COB manufacturing process, the chip is soldered directly to the PCB. In addition to better surface heat dissipation and a superior protection index for LEDs.

The process of the COB with respect to the SMD is that it is not pre-encapsulated, but soldered to the PCB directly and then a complete encapsulation of the entire module is made with several layers of a special resin.

COB technically offers the following advantages:

  • Stability: materials, technological process, heat dissipation.
  • Lighting efficiency: uniformity, grayscale, illumination angle, contrast, refresh rate, brightness.
  • Durability: anti-collision, moisture and dust-proof, anti-rust, anti-static.
  • Energy efficiency: energy-saving qualities.

What are the advantages of the LEDWALL compared to the VIDEOWALL?

  • Mounting with NO sore between modules. “Cleaner” appearance, continuous image and no separations.
  • Higher image quality for better contrast. 3-5:1, for deeper blacks, for greater color balance and depth, for higher brightness (pixel-by-pixel dimmable), for uniform calibration.
  • Wider viewing angle. Viewing distance from less than 1 meter and with viewing angle from 175°
  • Lower energy consumption. Reduced need for dissipation due to lower operating temperature.
  • Allows curved mounts (Concave or Convex).
  • Increased durability. >100,000 hours. It allows you to adjust parameters to compensate for degradation.
  • Less maintenance due to greater stability over calibration time.
  • Better maintenance service due to the ease of changing spare modules frontally (replacement in minutes), in a non-disruptive way (without having to turn off the screen), as well as greater ease of repair of individual components (LEDs, FAs, capacitors, etc.) and more economical.
  • Better return on investment. The initial outlay is higher, but later it has a longer duration, lower consumption and less maintenance.

What advantages does the LEDWALL provide compared to a PROJECTION system?

  • Higher image quality and resolution, thanks to better contrast, deeper blacks, greater color balance and depth, and higher brightness.
  • There are no ambient light limitations. An indoor LED display can be displayed in spaces where there has to be a lot of artificial lighting or in glazed spaces where there is a lot of direct sunlight pollution thanks to its better brightness level.
  • Projector systems can lose up to 30% brightness during the first year. The average lifespan of a projector bulb at 100% brightness is up to 5 years, while the LED module at 100% brightness will last up to 12 years.
  • Creative and Modular. Indoor LED screens can be built with all kinds of designs and shapes, giving you greater flexibility in the creative stage.

What are the benefits of indoor LED screens for events?

  • High Impact. Our screens, due to the seal that we configure in the color configuration and the quality of their components, we achieve a WOW effect due to their colorimetry, contrast and brightness, impacting the public regardless of the content that is played, achieving immersive and unforgettable experiences
  • In a concert where there are crowds of people and where only a select few in VIP seats and front rows can see the performance of favorite artists, It allows you to follow all the details of the performance through the large format screens, allowing the public to enjoy the event in a more intimate way.
  • Interaction. It allows you to interact with your audience during the event, allowing you to show shots of the audience and their reactions when they appear on the screens.
  • It allows you to change your scenery an unlimited number of times during the performance or event, adapting it to each phase, and even using it as a lighting element. Not only can indoor LED screens be used as stage background, different shapes can be made and have different locations, the final composition that can be obtained can be of a high level of creativity, even using the LED screen as interactive walkable floor walkways with the artist’s transit while playing content, how they are used during the passes of the Casa Batllo or Marina Bay Sands cube show or how it was designed for the fashion contest at Tenerife Fashion Week.

Finally, we are going to analyze the factors that are taken into account to select the screen model by customers to ensure that their fixed installation is profitable or that their event is spectacular and attractive, in addition to guaranteeing the proper functioning of the screens. indoor LED screens and that from Alfalite, both with MODULARPIX, UHD FINEPIX, as with LITEPIX is a benchmark in the market and being a reference brand to make your installation or event a success:

  • Screen Sizes: It is necessary to design both the mechanical and electronic parts that allows huge screens to be suspended from a truss or anchored to a wall, supporting the appropriate weights and tensions and maintaining a correct flatness to be able to enjoy a “clean” installation without gaps.
  • Resolutions: In addition to having the knowledge to be able to manage with control systems and video processors, you have to configure the pixel map, which sometimes we talk about several million pixels and resolutions greater than 16K.
  • Screen Weight: At Alfalite we were pioneers in designing panels that significantly reduced weight and influenced both the handling of the panels during assembly and disassembly, as well as the structural calculation of the final design of the installation. We offer the option that the chassis can be made of both aluminum and magnesium, to optimize the weight of the panel and the final assembly.
  • Viewing Angle: An ongoing challenge is battling the elements. Indoor LED screens have to be equipped of masks that allow not only to protect the LED from possible impacts or blows, but also provide a “visor effect” that counteracts the direct incidence of the sun and allows to generate a certain shadow to the LED so that it has greater contrast and together with the luminosity it offers allows the content to be viewed with quality. These masks are the direct enemy of the viewing angle offered by the LED and from Alfalite’s Industrial Mechanical Design department we have specialized in creating designs that allow you to balance effectively, viewing angle and visor effect.
  • Realization or Recording: If the live event is going to be held live and the images of the event are going to be captured by video cameras or are going to be recorded for later exploitation or it is a television program, it is of vital importance to use the appropriate components and electronic design to avoid undesirable artifacts or effects during the realization or recording, such as moiré, flickering, etc. Many hours of research and development are used by the Industrial Electronic Engineering department and the Alfalite Laboratory to select the right components and effective PCB designs to avoid these undesirable effects.

We remain at your disposal to clarify any doubts and help you in the selection of the best Alfalite indoor LED panel in case

you are with a project in hand.
