Outdoor SMD Screens
Indoor SMD Screens
Flexible SMD Screens
A DIP (dual in-line package) LED screen uses separate through-hole red, green and blue LEDs for each pixel. It is used for large outdoor screens with coarse pitches such as P10 and P16, viewed from far away.
Typical specifications
| Specification | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Pixel pitch | commonly P10 to P16 and coarser |
| LEDs | separate red, green and blue LEDs per pixel |
| Brightness | high outdoor levels, set by the model |
| Viewing angle | narrower than SMD |
| Use | large outdoor screens viewed from a distance |
These are typical ranges across brands; the exact figures depend on the model we quote.
Where it works best
- highway and large roadside screens
- stadium perimeter and scoreboards
- very large façades
What to check before you buy
- Viewing angle: DIP is narrower than SMD, so check the angle to your audience
- Colour uniformity across the screen
- Compare against outdoor SMD of the same pitch
Frequently asked questions
DIP or SMD for outdoor?
SMD is now common for most outdoor pitches and gives wider viewing angles; DIP is still used for some very coarse, very large screens. Read DIP vs SMD.
Do you still supply DIP screens?
Yes, where it suits the site. We compare DIP and SMD options in the quote.
