FAQ
What is an LED?
LED is an abbreviation for “light emitting diode” An LED is a solid state electronic device the is much more efficient at creating light than an incandescent lamp. LEDs contain chemical compounds that emit light when electric current passes through them. Different chemical compounds emit different colors of light. Unlike incandescent lamps, LEDs have no filaments that can burn out or fail.
What type of LED display is best for my business?
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing an LED display, including size, pixel pitch, location, marketing and message goals, to name a few. We recommend an on site demonstration with Daktronics and one of our representatives to ensure the maximum visibility for you display.
Are LED displays allowed in my area?
No need to worry. Our personnel will survey and contact the county offices in your jurisdiction to determine the maximum allowable signage in your area, while adhering to local laws.

Or, are there other correct named displays? As with any evolving industry, LED displays have had their share of names: message signs, message centers, reader boards, electronic displays, video displays, electronic message centers, among others.
Once my LED display is installed, what happens if I need help?
You’ll have two options. You may contact us or Daktronics. Daktronics and H & M signs both have local service personnel to solve any problem that may occur.
What is a Pixel?
Pixel is short for “picture element”. Pixels are points of light that illuminate to form letters, words, graphics, animation, and video images. A pixel can be made up of a single LED, multiple LEDs of the same color or multiple LEDs of different colors. A pixel is the smallest element of the electronic display system that can be individually controlled. It can be turned off or on at various brightness levels.
What is resolution?
Resolution is the number of pixels contained in the physical area of an electronic display. The greater number of pixels per square foot, the greater the amount of detail displayed.
What is viewing angle?
Optimum viewing angle is determined by the horizontal and viewing points at which the measured light intensity is 50 percent of that measured directly in front of the display. When choosing a display, consider where it will be installed and the angle at which the display will be viewed. Image quality will be at its best within the viewing cone of the display, which is where your primary intended audience should be located.
