Analysis of Applications for 3 Standard and Custom LED Display Products!

Introduction

　　　OPTO PLUS LED Corp. is an expert in producing LED Displays. We frequently receive inquiries from customers regarding their product needs. The question often arises whether to use a standard LED Display module design or opt for a custom LED Display module to fulfill these requirements. To address this uncertainty, we have gathered examples of applications featuring both standard LED Display modules and custom LED Display modules in various aspects of daily life. In doing so, we aim to elucidate the components that constitute an LED Display module within these products. By distinguishing between instances where standard LED Display modules are used and cases where custom LED Display modules are employed, we hope to provide our readers with a clearer comprehension. This analysis sheds light on how the two types of modules are integrated into products and aids customers in making informed decisions about the most suitable module for their specific application.

Standard LED Display

Standard LED Display Example1- 7-segment display@Microwave oven

　　In this microwave oven product, a four-character seven-segment display with a colon in the middle is utilized. Referencing its physical dimensions, it closely resembles our OPD-Q4010(1) series. The product incorporates an inner well on the circuit board, and its appearance is achieved through mechanical avoidance, allowing the standard LED Display module’s illuminated surface to be visible through a transparent surface. This setup facilitates the display of relevant numerical information for the microwave oven.

Standard LED Display Example2- 16 segment display+dot matrix display@treadmill

　　This treadmill product incorporates twenty-five individual character sixteen-segment displays. Referring to their physical dimensions, they closely resemble our OPS-AS4020 series. The product employs inner wells on the circuit board and its appearance is achieved through mechanical avoidance, allowing the standard LED Display modules’ illuminated surfaces to be visible through transparent coverings. This setup facilitates the display of relevant numerical values and English characters related to the treadmill’s functions. Additionally, a 7×15 dot matrix display is used in the lower left corner. Referencing its physical dimensions, it closely resembles our OPD-M35760 series. The 7×15 dot matrix display is composed of three sets of OPD-M35760 5×7 dot matrix displays. Similar to the previous display type, the product employs inner wells on the circuit board and its appearance is achieved through mechanical avoidance, allowing the standard LED Display module’s illuminated surfaces to be visible through transparent coverings. This setup facilitates the display of the treadmill’s training intensity.

　　In this motorcycle dashboard product, a custom display module comprising a seven-segment display and icons is integrated. The custom display module, designed to complement the appearance of the motorcycle dashboard, features a curved design. The spacing between digits is tighter, allowing for a more compact layout. In addition to displaying icons, it can also exhibit lines or battery symbols, enhancing the overall design aesthetics of the motorcycle dashboard product. The custom display module employs inner wells on the circuit board and its external appearance is shaped through mechanical design considerations, enabling the illuminated surface of the standard LED Display module to be visible through transparent coverings. This configuration facilitates the display of the motorcycle dashboard product’s speed and relevant instrument readings.

Conclusion

　　This article individually analyzes the applications of three types of standard LED Display modules and custom LED Display modules. It can be observed that utilizing the avoidance mechanism in the product’s design along with a transparent exterior to expose the illuminated surface of the LED Display module is a common approach, whether for custom or standard modules. Additionally, it’s noted that when a product has larger exterior dimensions and requires the display of multiple digits or alphabetic characters, using combinations of standard modules offers a quick and cost-effective solution. Conversely, if the goal is to display fixed information or icons within limited space, custom display modules can fulfill such requirements. Furthermore, standard LED Display modules are frequently employed in products using a combination approach, and their exterior dimensions are constrained to squares or rectangles. However, if a product demands a non-square or non-rectangular display, custom modules can address these needs.
