COB module design employs diodes baked into a polymer resin, able to withstand significant, direct front impacts without damage to the actual pixels beneath.
Chip-on-board LED displays- COB for short- are the LED industry’s most robust and highest quality display designs available anywhere on the planet.
With stunning features like extreme color accuracy, impact-resistance, and front water resistance, these display series are also available in the tightest pixel pitch options of any other LED display design- bar none.
Front-water resistance means you can clear with a simple, damp towel
Due to the durable design, COB is the perfect platform for touch-capable displays
COB is a top choice for casino displays, interactive boardroom displays, and even dance floor displays
From small screens to giant video walls, COBs unparalleled customization options keep you in control
The following priorities frequently point to COB as the best LED system for your project:
Desired for close-viewing, indoor applications due to the ultra-fine pixel pitch options available, COB display systems are often used for high-foot-traffic indoor spaces; these display installations must stand up to frequent touching, accidental impacts, and repeated physical interaction- and look stunning upon every start-up.
Traditionally used for indoor LED displays, COB systems are versatile and can easily adapt to most locations.
COB is perfect for projects that require Ultra High Definition (UHD), want increased brightness and image clarity, or need touch-screen functions.
With that said, the same features that give COB displays a huge advantage also result in a higher base cost.
Architectural designs that call for large-format video walls placed away from the danger of direct physical impacts- e.g. high-hung scoreboards, projector screen replacements, or longer viewing distance needs- may not benefit from the added cost of a COB system, when an equal resolution SMD display can look amazing for significantly less.
Like all other LED display series classes, COB displays are modular at their core. This means unique display shapes, sizes, curves, and more all are possible.
Maintenance and operating costs for chip-on-board systems are surprisingly low as well, thanks to:
Easy-to-clean modules- leading to less labor time spent for upkeep
No ribbon cabling in current-gen COB product designs – less failure points
High-efficiency power supplies – that use 40% less power than conventional SMD and DIP LED displays, and
Ambient-air passive cooling – negating needs for fans and other electricity-hungry cooling method
When durability, interactivity, and quality are a must, you can’t beat the Ultra High Definition of COB displays.
