A GOB (glue-on-board) LED display is an SMD module with a clear protective glue layer poured over the LEDs. The layer protects the LEDs from knocks, dust and moisture.
Typical specifications
| Specification | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Pixel pitch | about 1.2–3.9 mm |
| Surface | clear glue layer over standard SMD LEDs |
| Protection | better resistance to knocks and moisture than open SMD |
| Uses | rental, floor-level and touch-prone screens |
| Service | repairs are harder than on open SMD, so check the service process |
These are typical ranges across brands; the exact figures depend on the model we quote.
Where it works best
- rental and stage screens that are moved often
- screens within reach of the public
- retail and exhibition walls
- humid indoor spaces
What to check before you buy
- How damaged modules are repaired or replaced
- Glare from the glue surface under strong lighting
- Colour consistency between batches
Frequently asked questions
Is GOB waterproof?
The glue protects the LED face, but the whole screen’s rating depends on the cabinet. Check the IP rating of the complete product.
GOB or COB?
GOB protects standard SMD LEDs with a glue layer; COB bonds chips directly to the board. We compare both for your site.
