At Stewart Signs, we pride ourselves on empowering our dealers with comprehensive knowledge and top-tier technology in the LED sign industry. Our mission is to provide ongoing education on the intricacies of LED technology, its applications, and the substantial benefits it offers. Let’s explore the components that make our LED signs exceptional and discover how our dedication to quality and innovation sets us apart.
LED
What is an LED? A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when electricity passes through it. Unlike traditional light bulbs, LEDs lack filaments and fragile components that can break or burn out over time. Industry-standard LEDs boast an impressive lifespan of 100,000 hours, equivalent to over 11 years of continuous use. The Stewart Difference: We exclusively use top-quality LEDs that adhere to strict standards for brightness and longevity, ensuring your signs maintain their brilliance for years to come.
Controller
What is a Controller? The controller acts as the "brain" of the LED display. It can range from a basic PCB board designed for simple messages to a robust industrial PC (IPC) capable of handling a vast array of features. The Stewart Difference: Our LED displays are equipped with powerful, durable IPCs to deliver maximum performance and extended lifespan.
LED Module
What is an LED Module? An LED module consists of several rows and columns of pixels, along with the necessary circuitry and electronics for power and control. These modules are assembled on a frame to create the LED display. The Stewart Difference: We provide standard 320mm x 320mm modules that can be upgraded along with their power supplies, offering flexibility and future-proofing your investment.
Power Supply
What is a Power Supply? A power supply converts incoming AC power to the appropriate DC voltage and distributes it to the electronic components. Multiple power supplies are typically required, depending on the display size. The Stewart Difference: Most products use Mean Well power supplies, the industry leader in high-quality, reliable units.
Light Sensor
What is a Light Sensor? A light sensor detects ambient light levels and adjusts the display's brightness accordingly, ensuring optimal visibility without being too dim during the day or too bright at night. The Stewart Difference: All our light sensors undergo rigorous testing at third-party facilities to guarantee performance and reliability.
Sender Card
What is a Sender Card? A sender card takes input from the controller (usually via HDMI or DVI) and converts it into a signal sent to the receiver cards that drive the display. The Stewart Difference: Our sender cards are thoroughly tested by third-party facilities to ensure they meet our high standards.
Receiver Card
What is a Receiver Card? A receiver card receives signals from the sender card (typically via Ethernet) and converts them into instructions for the LED modules. Multiple receiver cards are used, depending on the display size. The Stewart Difference: Each of our receiver cards is subjected to stringent testing at third-party facilities to ensure top-notch performance.
