Discussion on the development status and future trends of outdoor surface mount

As the name suggests, outdoor surface mount is the application of surface mount SMD packaging technology to the outdoor field. It breaks the long-standing inherent application model of outdoor direct plug-in and indoor surface mount. It is an application model innovation, or a technological innovation.

For a long time, in the LED display industry, everyone has formed a convention - outdoor direct plug-in and indoor surface-mounted. This concept has been around for a long time. It was only in recent years that the boundaries became blurred due to the huge improvement in the light efficiency of SMD light sources, and more and more SMDs were applied to outdoor display projects.

In addition, with the continuous improvement of people's aesthetic needs, in some occasions, outdoor direct-plug products are gradually unable to meet the increasingly demanding viewing needs of the public. The reason is that the inability of outdoor direct-plug products to achieve small spacing is its biggest constraint. Stimulated by the huge market demand, outdoor surface mount products have gradually entered the public's field of vision.

However, the development of outdoor stickers was once stalled because it faced some technical bottlenecks. For example, the brightness problem. Compared with outdoor direct-plug products, the brightness of outdoor surface-mount products has always been difficult to meet outdoor requirements; such as outdoor stripsThe strict requirements of the components make the packaging process of surface-mount devices extremely difficult, and functions such as waterproofing, moisture-proofing, and ultraviolet protection often fail to meet the requirements of harsh outdoor environments.

In the past two years, outdoor surface mount technology has made great progress, and these problems have been basically solved. Especially the past year 2015 was a year of rapid development for outdoor surface mount products. Some people in the industry even believe that outdoor surface mount will be another "dark horse" in the LED display industry, with huge market development space and potential.
