Feature | Flip-Dot Display | Traditional LED Display |
---|---|---|
Visibility | High contrast and reflexive properties of flip-dot displays make them highly visible even in bright conditions. | Often lack contrast and can be difficult to see in direct sunlight. |
Power Consumption | Power is only consumed when changing the display status. Multiple displays can be operated on just a few watts of total power. | LEDs continuously consume power to maintain the display. |
Reliability | Designed to withstand over 150 million operations on average (approximately 30 years if the status changes every 10 seconds. | Bulbs can burn out over time, and the overall display may degrade with continuous use. |
Operational Range | Can operate in extreme temperature conditions, from -40°C to +75°C, and relative humidity up to 95%. | May not function as well in extreme temperature conditions. May require additional weatherproofing for outdoor use. |
Environmental Impact | Low power consumption and integrated solar panel system make this an environmentally friendly choice. | Higher power consumption and lack of renewable energy integration may have a greater environmental impact. |
Readability in Different Light Conditions | Contrast increases with ambient light, providing a glare-free natural view. Excellent visibility over a wide range of ambient light conditions. | Can be overly bright in low light conditions, and difficult to read in bright sunlight. |
Installation & Maintenance | Plug & Play solution with no need for any additional approvals. No bulbs to replace and minimal maintenance | May require professional installation and periodic bulb replacement. May have higher maintenance costs. |
