Connection Between LED Display Performance and Refresh Rate

In today's digital age, LED display as a widely used in advertising, stage, monitoring and other fields of display equipment, its display effect is affected by many factors, and refresh rate is one of the most important parameters. This article will delve into the relationship between LED display and refresh rate to help you better understand the importance of this technical indicator.

Definition and Function of Refresh Rate

Refresh rate refers to the number of times an LED display can update or refresh its content per second, measured in Hertz (Hz). Common refresh rates include 480Hz, 960Hz, 1920Hz, and 3840Hz. The higher the refresh rate, the smoother the image, especially when playing dynamic content like videos. A high refresh rate display can reduce screen flicker, providing a more stable image for viewers.

The Impact of Refresh Rate on Display Effects

Image Stability

A high refresh rate LED displays update more frequently in a given time, making the image less likely to jitter. For example, a screen with a 3840Hz refresh rate, compared to one with 1920Hz, can effectively reduce blurring or trailing when displaying fast-moving images, resulting in clearer and more stable pictures.

Visual Comfort

A high refresh rate can alleviate visual fatigue from prolonged screen viewing. A 3840Hz refresh rate means the screen updates faster, reducing the burden on the eyes when tracking image changes, thus causing less discomfort.

Photography Effects

When shooting an LED screen with a mobile phone or professional equipment, a low refresh rate screen may exhibit moiré patterns (i.e., black stripes like ripples) and flickering. In contrast, a high refresh rate screen can largely avoid these issues, producing clearer and more continuous images and videos. For LED displays that need to be frequently shot and used for promotional displays, a high refresh rate can provide better image quality, thereby enhancing the promotional effect.

Factors Affecting Refresh Rate

LED Driver Chips

LED driver chips directly determine the visual refresh frequency and grayscale levels of LED displays. With ordinary driver chips, the refresh rate can only reach 960Hz. However, using dual-latch driver chips can significantly increase the refresh rate of LED displays.

System Data Transmission Speed

The system data transmission speed also affects the refresh rate. The faster the data transmission speed, the more image information can be transmitted in a given time, thereby increasing the screen's refresh rate. If the data transmission speed is slow, it may cause the screen to refresh untimely, leading to image delay or stuttering.

In summary, the refresh rate of an LED display screen has a vital impact on its display effects. A high refresh rate can improve image stability, visual comfort, and photography effects, making it suitable for scenarios with high display requirements. While a low refresh rate can also meet some basic display needs, it is slightly inferior in terms of image stability and photography effects.
