LED Panels
Like LED signs, LED panels are also made from LED. Basically they are giant circuit boards filled with many small super bright LEDs. They can be used as interactive art on your wall or tucked under glass to make your own Interactive LED Coffee Table.
Normally, an LED panel has size 12″ x 12″ (30.5 cm) square. It has 80 super bright LEDs that are arranged on a regular grating. Each circuit board panel contains four motion sensor nodes and each of these nodes controls 20 of the LEDs. So, a 6-panel setup covers six square feet of area (1×6 or 2×3), has 24 sensors and 480 LEDs, while an 8-panel version has 32 sensor nodes and 640 LEDs. Plug-in plug-out connectors are used to each board edge making it easy to reconfigure the panels in any rectangular arrangement.
How does it work? Let’s take an example. Suppose if you get a set of n panels, it can be deployed as one block of n panels or as up to n smaller blocks of panels in different locations, so long as you provide a suitable power supply for each block. Up to 12 panels that are connected together can be powered by a single power supply; if your installation is larger than 12 panels, you will need to order one power supply for every 12 panels.
These interactive LED panels are essentially stand-alone devices. They require electric energy to be provided but no computer, software or any other external control is needed. We can say that they are a form of advertising and marketing but a little bit different from LED signs. In case of LED signs, boards of a specific structure are used but LED panels are made on large wall-structured basis.
