Overview
LED displays use different installation methods depending on the application area. Common approaches include fixed installation, rental suspension, and stadium fence installation. Other installation types are wall-mounted, cantilever, embedded, column-mounted, freestanding, rooftop, mobile, stadium fence, rental suspension, and curved installations.
Common installation methods
1. Wall-mounted installation
1) Typically used for indoor or semi-outdoor installations.
2) For small display areas, no maintenance channel is usually left; the whole screen is removed for maintenance or built with a foldable integrated frame.
3) For larger wall-mounted displays, front-service design is commonly used (front maintenance, usually assembled in columns).
2. Column-mounted installation
Column-mounted installations are commonly used for outdoor advertising and include:
1) Single-pole installation: suitable for small screens.
2) Double-pole installation: suitable for large screens.
3) Enclosed maintenance channel: suitable for simple cabinets.
4) Open maintenance channel: suitable for standard cabinets.
3. Cantilever installation
1) Often used for indoor and semi-outdoor locations.
2) Common at passageways and corridor entrances, as well as at station or subway entrances.
3) Also used for traffic guidance on roads, railways, and highways.
4) Screen design typically uses an integrated cabinet or a suspension structure.
4. Suspended (hanging) installation
This installation is similar to the cantilever method and shares many applications. Screens typically use an integrated cabinet design and are suitable for indoor or semi-outdoor use.
5. Embedded installation
1) The entire display is recessed into a wall so the viewing surface is flush with the wall.
2) Often uses a simple cabinet design.
3) Typically uses front-service (front maintenance) design.
4) Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, usually applied to small pixel-pitch and modest display-area screens.
5) Common locations include building entrances and lobbies.
6. Freestanding installation
1) Usually uses an integrated cabinet design, sometimes combined column configurations.
2) Suitable for indoor, small pixel-pitch screens.
3) Typically used for relatively small display areas.
4) Typical application is LED TV-style displays.
7. Rooftop installation
1) Wind resistance is a key consideration for rooftop installations.
2) Screens are usually installed with a tilt angle, or modules are designed with an 8-degree tilt.
3) Commonly used for outdoor advertising.
8. Stadium fence installation
1) Used around the perimeter of a football stadium for perimeter advertising displays.
2) The screen viewing angle can be adjusted by changing the tilt of the support frame.
3) Designs often use a soft silicone cover and a soft curved top to reduce injury risk from collisions.
9. Rental suspension
1) Screen size is determined according to standard screen dimensions.
2) Suspended rental screens should not be overly large; generally limited to below 6 m x 10 m, with exceptions for special cabinet materials or strip-type displays.
3) The top is equipped with a lifting beam and the bottom with a base beam; the lifting beam is used for suspension.
4) Rows of cabinets are connected using hoisting mechanisms; horizontal cabinets use latches to tighten.
5) Hoisting mechanisms include gear type, tapered-pin type, and bolt type.
6) Gear type is more expensive and visually neat.
7) Tapered-pin type is moderately priced and reliable.
8) Bolt type is cheapest and reliable but more cumbersome to assemble; suitable when repeated disassembly is not required.
10. Curved installation
1) Screen dimensions are length x width (height): L x W. In this context, W refers to height and L refers to length.
2) The screen length can be initially determined by the circumference of the circle or arc, then divided by the module length to determine the required module count.
3) For circular screens, try to divide modules into about 92 units; select a module count that is an integer multiple of 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 to simplify cabinet division and production. Module draft angle is typically 2 degrees, so one module contributes 4 degrees. About 92 modules form a complete circle; do not use fewer than 60 modules when possible.
4) After determining the number of modules per row, calculate screen length: L = module count * module length. Area A = L * W.
For non-circular curved screens, divide the screen into segments like slicing a cake.
5) Mounting frames must be custom-made to match the dimensions of circular or curved screens.
11. Truss mobile installation
1) The screen can be moved in real time according to operational needs.
2) Movement and segmentation of the screen are based on the displayed content and on-site conditions.
3) Uses a truss guide-rail design.
4) Commonly used for stage background screens at TV studios, concerts, and similar events.
