Pixel pitch is a key concept in the LED display industry. This concept refers to the distance between the LED pixels. In the following, as specialists in the rental of LED screens for events, we would like to explain what the pixel pitch of a LED screen is and what it determines.
What is the pixel pitch of a LED screen?
The pixel pitch is the distance between the pixels of the LEDs on the screen and is measured in millimetres. It is measured between the centre of one pixel and the centre of the adjacent pixel.
What determines the pixel pitch of an LED display?
The pixel pitch is decisive in determining the image quality and resolution. The closer the pixels are to each other, the better the image quality and resolution of the display. This variable determines several essential factors such as the following:
- Image quality and resolution: the smaller the pixel pitch, the more pixels the screen will have per unit area. This generates sharper and more detailed images. Conversely, the higher the pixel pitch, the lower the pixel density and, consequently, the lower the image definition.
- Optimal viewing distance:The smaller the distance between the LED dots, the closer the audience can be to it. It can be viewed from closer without the spaces between the pixels being visible. If the viewers are further away, a larger distance between the LED dots can be chosen, without affecting the quality of the image offered.
- Manufacturing cost: the manufacturing cost of LED displays will be higher the smaller the distance between the LED dots. Consequently, the rental cost will also be higher than for LED displays with a smaller pixel pitch.
How to choose the right LED screen?
As we have seen, the closer the pixels of an LED screen are, the higher the rental cost will be. For this reason, it is interesting to know the distance at which the spectators will be located. If they are placed far away, they will be able to opt for a lower resolution, without losing image quality, thus saving on costs.
In conclusion, as we have observed, the pixel pitch of an LED screen is a key aspect. It will determine the quality and usefulness of it. For this reason, it is interesting to be advised on the distance between pixels that will best suit your event by professionals in LED screen rental, such as our company. Choosing the best pixel pitch will allow you to have the LED screen that suits the use that will be given to the screen, the environment and the viewing distance, to ensure the optimal experience of the spectators.
