LED Boards are now becoming more popular for indoor use. Traditionally you would see these LED boards as billboards in outdoor areas however due to the price and pixel size, it is now common to also use these indoors. We have mentioned in the past that Westfields are using these LED boards indoor in their shopping centres, have a look at these two images: Pitt Street Mall Westfield and Parramatta Westfield.
Today’s Digital signage fail is one from a retail store in a shopping centre that had half of the LED board not working.
- It appears one side of the screen is not working at all. The way I understand LED boards are connected in series so that if one of the boards fails then this breaks the chain and will cause part of the screen to fail
- The other side of the screen was just displaying blue
- Restarting the unit will most likely not fix the issue. The fix simply requires a technician to replace the failed component
- Monitoring your LED board is a critical component of your overall digital signage solution. Many businesses fail to realise that they are potentially losing business if the digital screens are failing
- Help the environment – if the LED board has failed then we suggest you turn it off to save electricity. It also doesn’t look very professional if you have half a board working
