Simply to put, vehicles become a necessary part for most of us, either driving to work or travelling around to different locations.

 

  1. Car LED displays are effective for broadcasting messages

 

Since vehicles are widely used in our daily life and their volumes continue to grow, using them as an approach for broadcasting messages around are vise options.

 

Meanwhile, LED display design and manufacturing techniques also advance greatly in the past years. More innovation designs, such as soft and transparent LED panels, are developed. That means LED displays are much more applicable on vehicles than before.

 

Both of the two factors together make car LED displays are effective ways for either delivering promotional contents or presenting personalized identities for their owners.

 

 

Types of car LED displays

 

Usually, car LED displays come in three different types, including taxi top LED displays, car window LED display, and LED screen trailers.

 

  1. Taxi top LED display

 

Taxi top LED displays must be the first type of using LED display on vehicles, for replacing the traditional taxi top banners.

 

Traditional taxi top banner usually lights up when they’re in service, and only tells if the taxi is available in different light colors or simple texts.

 

But a taxi top LED display is more versatile, and can present more information rather than noticing if the taxi is available. For example, we can expand a taxi top LED display to a relatively larger size for playing more visual appealing images or visuals.

  1. Car window LED display

 

A car window LED display usually appears at the rear window of the vehicle. But for large vehicles, such as a bus, sometimes LED displays also appear along its side windows.

 

Car window LED displays can be made of different types of LED panels.

 

For example, a bus can use a common type of LED display since the inner space is large enough. But if you’re going to put up an LED display onto your family car, it’s better to choose those thin, flexible, and transparent LED films.

 

Transparent LED films can fit tight onto the rear window glass of a family car without interfering the inner esthetic and taking much less space than an LED module in ab aluminum cabinet. And more importantly, blocks no light when they’re off and can display unique looking through visuals.

  1. LED screen trailer

 

LED screen trailer is in fact an independent unit that can be dragged around with a car or a truck. That means it can have a much larger size than the two previously mentioned types.

 

Usually, LED screen trailers are used for more commercialized purposes. They can display more vivid images and dynamic videos for promoting business, brands, products, or services.

  1. Digital advertising truck

 

Digital advertising truck is a more dedicated usage of LED displays for promoting a business.

 

Usually we put up LED billboards onto the truck sides to make a digital advertising truck, and sometimes even at the back.

LED displays can be designed for over 10,000 nit brightness, which means they can be clearly seen under strong sunlight.

 

So while using car LED displays for advertising, there is no worry about the ambient light conditions.

 

  1. Compatible with various visual formats

 

LED displays are compatible with different visual formats, including texts, images, and videos. Meanwhile, you can also display HDR video contents on an LED screen trailer or a digital advertising truck.

  1. Long lasting and energy saving

 

LEDs are durable and can last more than 5 years and even to 10 years without visible light attenuation. Meanwhile, LEDs consume less power since they have no energy loss while transforming electricity into light. This makes LED displays energy saving options in the long run.

 

 

Kinglight LEDs for car LED displays

 

As a professional enterprise focusing on the R&D and manufacturing of LEDs, Kinglight provides a wide variety of LEDs for making different types of car LED displays.

 

For transparent car LED displays, Kinglight has developed driver IC integrated LEDs, including the 1515-IC and 2222-IC LEDs with high transparent frames and simplified inner wiring.
