Basic Introduction to P2.5 Indoor LED Full-Color Screen
What is a P2.5 LED Display?
A P2.5 LED display refers to an LED screen where the pixel pitch (distance between the centers of two adjacent pixels) is 2.5 millimeters. It belongs to the category of high-density displays and is widely used in conference rooms, exhibition halls, control centers, and other venues. Its main features include high pixel density and fine, clear display effects, allowing it to easily present HD images and complex graphics. It is particularly suitable for close-range viewing.
This type of screen typically adopts surface-mount device (SMD) technology, with LED bead models such as 2121. The 2121 model integrates red, green, and blue colors into a single micro-encapsulation unit, offering advantages such as high contrast, wide viewing angles, and true-to-life color reproduction.
Core Parameters of P2.5 Products
The P2.5 indoor full-color screen boasts a pixel density of 160,000 dots/㎡, providing far superior image performance compared to traditional DIP products. Common scanning methods include 1/32 scan or 1/64 scan, and combined with a high refresh rate control card, it can easily support smooth video playback and scrolling text functions.
The maximum power consumption per square meter is approximately 500W, varying depending on brightness settings and playback content. When planning power supplies, factors like electrical load, grounding safety, and voltage fluctuations must be considered.
Additionally, the P2.5 screen adopts a modular design, making it easy to install, maintain, and upgrade. This is especially convenient for wall-mounted installations in conference rooms.
2. Preparations Before Installation
Installation Location and Environmental Requirements
When installing a P2.5 LED screen in a conference room, the first task is to confirm the installation location. Consider factors such as the layout of the meeting table, viewing distance, and onsite lighting conditions to ensure the screen is not obstructed and the visual center is at the audience’s eye level.
As the wall serves as the mounting base, it must have sufficient load-bearing capacity. Concrete or solid brick walls are recommended. For lightweight partition walls, additional reinforcement is required, or alternative installation methods (e.g., floor-standing) should be considered.
Since LED screens generate significant heat during operation, ventilation or air conditioning equipment must be reserved to ensure stable operation over the long term.
Tools and Wiring Planning
Standard installation toolkits include:
Electric drill, impact drill
Spirit level, measuring tape
Wrench, screwdriver
Cable ties, wire ducts, insulation tape
For wiring, arrange the power lines (AC220V) and signal cables (CAT5e or fiber optic) based on the dimensions of the screen. It is recommended to use concealed wiring for improved aesthetics and easier maintenance.
Additionally, plan for a system grounding point in advance to protect the equipment from damage caused by static electricity or lightning.
Installation Conditions and Construction Precautions
Keep the construction site clean and dust-free, and avoid working in damp or wet environments.
Installers should wear anti-static equipment, especially when handling control systems, driver ICs, and other electronic components.
During the unpacking inspection, check each unit board, power box, and control card for damage or missing parts to prevent unnecessary rework during installation.
3. Frame Installation Steps
Frame Measurement and Positioning Techniques
The first step in installing the frame is to use a spirit level and laser marking tool to accurately measure the edges of the LED screen. Mark the centerline, upper and lower frame edges, and the reserved positions for power modules to ensure subsequent installation proceeds smoothly.
Error control: Ensure measurement errors are within ±2mm to avoid uneven seams or “stair-step” effects that affect the visual appearance.
Choosing the Frame Structure Material
Frame materials can include aluminum profiles, stainless steel structures, or galvanized angle steel, depending on the budget and wall strength:
Aluminum profiles: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, suitable for high-end indoor venues.
Galvanized angle steel: Cost-effective with strong load-bearing capacity, ideal for mid- to low-budget conference rooms.
Stainless steel: More expensive but offers excellent visual appeal and durability.
Frames are often installed using a combination of “embedded + surface-mounted” methods to securely hold the LED unit boards while facilitating future maintenance.
Ensuring Stable and Level Structures
Use expansion screws to fix each frame connection point; drilling depth should be no less than 5cm.
After installation, use a spirit level to inspect each section for warping or unevenness.
Consider pre-installing triangular support brackets or reinforcement bars behind the frame to ensure stability under load.
4. Unit Board Installation
Step-by-Step Assembly Process
Before installing the LED unit boards, verify the product serial numbers and refer to the positioning diagram (installation blueprint).
Begin from the bottom-left corner of the screen and assemble upward and to the right. Use a “staggered alignment” approach to minimize color discrepancies and ensure a consistent overall display.
Connect the LED modules using data cables (HUB cables) and power cables, ensuring that the interfaces are aligned and securely tightened.
Fixing Methods and Precautions
Modules are typically fixed using screws or magnetic structures.
Use a magnetic Phillips screwdriver during installation to avoid damaging the PCB board with excessive torque from power tools.
Key Considerations:
Avoid scratching or bumping the module surface.
Wear gloves to prevent smudges.
Avoid pulling cables too tightly; maintain a flexible slack for adjustments.
Common Installation Errors
Module Misalignment: Installing modules out of sequence can lead to uneven image stitching.
Cable Disarray: Failing to organize cables properly can make maintenance difficult later.
Uneven Installation: An unlevel frame can cause height discrepancies across the screen.
If any of these issues occur, stop work immediately to make adjustments and avoid costly rework later.
5. Deployment of Power and Control Systems
Power Module Placement and Connection Requirements
Install power modules at the bottom or sides of the frame to facilitate heat dissipation and wiring.
Ensure the output voltage is stable around 5V, with each module generally powering 1–2 unit boards.
Additional Requirements:
For AC220V power supply, ensure voltage fluctuations do not exceed ±10% and use a three-wire system (live wire, neutral wire, ground wire).
All power modules should share a common grounding bus to enhance interference resistance.
If the total screen power exceeds 10kW, consider using a three-phase five-wire power supply to prevent overloading and damage.
