Abstract

The improvement in light-emitting diode (LED) performance has facilitated its widespread application in areas such as urban media screens and electronic displays. However, most commercial LEDs use a circularly symmetric radiation pattern, which leads to issues like high energy consumption, significant spill light, and privacy concerns during practical applications. This study investigates the impact of light distribution in LED displays on visual performance and energy consumption. Through software simulations and experimental measurements, we established a quantitative model linking beam angle with the maximum viewing angle and energy consumption of displays. The results show that a display with a 60° beam angle consumes only half the energy of a display with a 120° beam angle, while achieving 89% of the latter’s maximum viewing angle. These findings highlight the need to balance visual performance and energy consumption based on specific application scenarios. This research provides a new technical approach for optimizing the visual performance and energy efficiency of LED displays, particularly valuable for reducing high energy consumption and severe light pollution in outdoor LED displays.

期刊介绍： Displays is the international journal covering the research and development of display technology, its effective presentation and perception of information, and applications and systems including display-human interface. Technical papers on practical developments in Displays technology provide an effective channel to promote greater understanding and cross-fertilization across the diverse disciplines of the Displays community. Original research papers solving ergonomics issues at the display-human interface advance effective presentation of information. Tutorial papers covering fundamentals intended for display technologies and human factor engineers new to the field will also occasionally featured.
