Storlekar på LED-sfärdisplayer: att välja rätt diameter

Choose an LED sphere diameter by checking the installation space, delivery route and viewing positions together. Then select a pixel pitch available for that diameter and environment. The screen diameter, complete installation envelope and shipping package are three different measurements.

Combinations from the current quotation list. A dash means no combination is listed here. Other diameters and pitches are assessed for the project; listed combinations do not establish stock availability.

Start with a candidate diameter, then choose among the pitches offered for that size and environment. A 1m indoor sphere and a 1m outdoor sphere have different configurations. The LED sphere display also covers outward-facing and inward-facing hemispheres, where the opening and viewing direction need a separate layout.

Diameter, surface area and the visible image

Diameter measures the sphere across its centre. For an ideal complete sphere, the surface area is A = πD²: a 1m sphere has about 3.14m² of surface, a 1.5m sphere 7.07m², and a 2m sphere 12.57m². Doubling diameter gives four times the geometric surface area.

Geometric comparison of complete spheres. Actual display coverage and installation dimensions follow the project drawing.

That total area wraps around the globe. A person in one position sees part of the surface, so a larger area does not automatically create a readable flat canvas. Position logos and important information within the intended viewing zones, and test how the content changes as people walk around.

The sphere’s diameter also differs from its installed envelope. A base, supporting frame, suspension connection or service route can extend beyond the displayed surface. Use the overall installation drawing when checking a recess, ceiling position or floor area.

Check the space and the delivery route

  • Visningsposition: mark the proposed centre, overall height and the areas from which people will view it. Include the base or suspension arrangement.
  • Visitor movement: keep the walking route, interaction space and maintenance access visible on the same plan.
  • Building access: record clear door openings, lift dimensions and capacity, corridor turns, steps and the final handling route.
  • Shipping format: compare those constraints with the actual crate dimensions, gross weight and largest assembly section.
  • Support: have the installation team confirm the supporting structure and lifting arrangement against the approved project drawing.

Whole-unit packing is one option. The package format and handling plan are confirmed for each project.

A nominal 2m sphere is not a guarantee that the delivery will pass through a 2m doorway. Protective packing, handling space and the assembly format matter. Where the route cannot accept a whole unit, discuss sectional delivery and site assembly before fixing the diameter. The quotation should identify who supplies the handling equipment, performs assembly and commissions the display.

Match the diameter to viewing distance and content

Use the nearest normal viewing position, not only the farthest sightline. A sphere seen across an atrium may also be approached from a balcony or floor-level walkway. Those closer positions can affect the required image detail.

Compare a representative still and a short video containing the smallest text, logo detail and motion the project needs. Ask for the pixel map of the proposed build, including the seam, poles and display orientation. A rectangular source file and the installed LED layout are different parts of that workflow.

Larger diameter does not require a coarser pitch, and a smaller sphere does not guarantee that small text will be clear. Diameter sets physical scale; pitch and the actual pixel arrangement influence detail. Keep essential information in usable viewing zones and approve the sample from the intended positions. Final native resolution and playback dimensions come from the selected module layout.

USD per set, EXW. Prices reviewed 10 November 2026. These configurations use ICN1065S driver ICs and Mooncell control.

The complete display includes the control system. Other equipment, accessories and services are determined by the project configuration and formal quotation. Use the LED sphere price guide to compare quotation scope. Surface-area ratios do not establish equipment prices, and a hemisphere is quoted for its own design.

What to send for a size recommendation

Send the preferred shape, approximate diameter and a site photo or sketch. If available, add the nearest viewing distance, a content sample, indoor or outdoor location, mounting method and delivery destination. Include any doorway, lift or handling restriction that could determine the shipping format.

När du request a sphere quotation, the configuration review can narrow the diameter and pitch options and identify which installation or packing dimensions need to be agreed.

FAQ
What sizes of LED sphere displays are available?
The current quotation list includes diameters from 0.6m to 4m, with different indoor and outdoor pitch combinations at each diameter. Select an actual combination from the size table rather than treating every pitch as available at every size. Other requirements are assessed against the project geometry, viewing conditions and installation plan; the list does not establish stock availability.
How much display area does a 2m LED sphere have?
An ideal complete sphere with a 2m diameter has approximately 12.57 square metres of surface area, calculated as pi multiplied by the diameter squared. Actual display coverage follows the module layout and any openings in the design. The total curved area is different from the image visible from one position and from the floor space needed for the installed assembly.
How much room should I leave around an LED sphere?
Check the overall installation drawing, including the display, support or base, connections, visitor movement and maintenance access. The required space depends on the selected geometry and mounting arrangement rather than diameter alone. Mark the intended viewing positions and working route on a site plan, then have the project team confirm the clearances and supporting structure before installation.
Will a 2m sphere fit through a 2m doorway?
Confirm the proposed packing or assembly dimensions before deciding. A nominal sphere diameter does not include protective packing, handling clearance or every supporting component. Check the full route through doorways, lifts and corridor turns, together with weight and handling constraints. If a whole unit cannot pass, discuss sectional delivery and the agreed site assembly method before fixing the order.
Does a larger sphere need a coarser pixel pitch?
Choose pixel pitch from viewing positions and content detail rather than diameter alone. A large sphere may still be viewed closely, while a small sphere can carry bold imagery seen from farther away. Review the smallest text, logos and motion on a representative sample, using the selected sphere's pixel map and the actual viewing zones to judge the configuration.
How does diameter affect the equipment price?
Current indoor P2.5 examples are US$3,600 for 1m, US$12,600 for 1.5m and US$22,700 for 2m, all EXW per set. The complete display includes the control system. Other equipment, accessories and services follow the project configuration and formal quotation. Diameter changes geometric area, but area ratios alone do not establish the complete equipment price or installation budget.
Can a sphere be delivered in sections?
Whole-unit and sectional delivery are considered against the selected design, packing dimensions and access route. Agree the largest section, package weights, handling method and site assembly responsibilities before shipment. A single diameter threshold cannot determine the appropriate format for every project. The formal quotation also defines the supplied drawings, accessories and any assembly or commissioning services.
What measurements help with a sphere quotation?
Start with the preferred shape, approximate diameter and a site photo or sketch. Useful additional information includes the available installation envelope, doorway and lift restrictions, nearest viewing position and intended content. Add the environment, mounting method and delivery destination if known. These inputs help the team recommend a configuration and identify the remaining dimensions to confirm on the project drawing.
