The Transparent LED Buyer's Guide
The "Black Box" Problem
Problem: Traditional LED screens are great for video – but when they’re off, they become big, black boxes on your glass. Agitation: They block natural light, kill the open feeling of your curtain wall and often need heavy steel structures. You paid for glass; now you’re covering it with a wall.
The Transparent Solution
- Up to 90% Transparency: Maintains the open, airy feeling of your space. Natural light flows in, and customers can see out.
- Invisible When Inactive: Unlike traditional "black boxes," the screen effectively disappears when turned off, preserving your original design aesthetics.
Retail Windows & Glass Railings
“I need eye-catching ads, but I don’t want to block the view.”
- Screens stick directly to the glass – no bulky frames.
- Up to 90% transparency, your store stays bright and inviting.
- 3D-style floating visuals stop pedestrians in their tracks.
Building Facades & Outdoor Media
- High-brightness grille / curtain LED (6000–8000 nits) cuts through direct sunlight.
- Hollow strips reduce wind load and structural risk.
- Natural air cooling saves thousands on AC every year.
Rental Stages & Concert Events
- Foldable LED curtain / mesh hangs in minutes, not hours.
- Integrated power & data design, fewer cables, fewer failure points.
- Lightweight system reduces trucking and rigging costs.
Selection Checklist: Avoid These 3 Spec Errors
The Brightness Trap
The Mistake: Buying a standard Indoor Screen (1,000 nits) for a window application.
Why it fails: Direct sunlight is brighter than standard screens. Your ads will look washed out or invisible during the day.
The Solution: Always specify High Brightness (5,000+ nits) for window displays to ensure visibility 24/7.
Ignoring the Pixel Pitch Trap
Problem: Buying P3.91 when your audience is 50 meters away.
Agitation: You pay double the price for resolution that nobody can see. It’s a waste of budget.
Solution: Let us calculate the “Golden Viewing Distance” for you. For rooftops, P10 or P16 is often clearer and 40% cheaper.
The Maintenance Oversight
Problem: The screen looks great, until a module fails.
Agitation: If you buy a screen that requires “Rear Maintenance” but you installed it against a glass wall, you have to dismantle the entire screen just to fix one lamp. Huge labor cost.
Solution: Choose our Front-Maintenance Series. Fix issues in 5 seconds from the front.

The Ugly Truth: 5 Hidden Risks in Transparent LED Displays
Are transparent LED screens too fragile for public spaces?
- The Reality: Unlike traditional cabinets with masks, transparent LEDs are often exposed. A simple bump during installation or cleaning can knock off the lamp beads, leaving ugly black spots ("dead pixels").
- The Cause: Weak Soldering & No Protection. Standard "Cold Soldering" is brittle. Without a protective layer, the LEDs are vulnerable to any impact.
- Our Solution: We utilize GOB (Glue on Board) Technology. This adds a transparent, impact-resistant protective layer over the LEDs. It makes the screen collision-proof, dust-proof, and moisture-proof—safe for busy retail environments.
Why do some transparent screens turn yellow after 6 months?
- The Reality: It’s a common complaint: You buy a clear screen, but after half a year of sunlight, the transparent strips turn a muddy, aged yellow. This ruins the high-end look of your store.
- The Cause: Lack of UV Resistance. Cheap manufacturers use standard industrial glue or non-optical grade PC materials. When exposed to UV rays (sunlight), they oxidize rapidly.
- Our Solution: We use Japan-imported Optical Polycarbonate combined with military-grade Anti-UV coating. Our screens are tested to resist yellowing for 5+ years, even in direct sunlight.
Is your transparent LED bright enough for real sunlight?
- The Reality: Installing an indoor transparent LED behind glass for a south-facing shop window.
- The Cause: At noon the screen looks grey or even invisible – your “expensive screen” becomes a phantom just when traffic is highest.
- Our solution: For sun-facing windows or outdoor façades, always choose high-brightness transparent LED (6000–8000 nits) and test under real daylight, not only in a dark showroom.
Why do I see black lines when filming the screen with my phone?
- The Reality: Your shop visitors want to take photos for Instagram or TikTok. If they see black scanning lines (flicker) on their phone screens, they won't post the photo. You lose free social media marketing.
- The Cause: Low Refresh Rate. Using cheap driver ICs (1920Hz or lower) saves money but fails to sync with modern camera shutters.
- Our Solution: 3840Hz High Refresh Rate. We use top-tier Driver ICs as standard. This ensures your content looks buttery smooth and flicker-free on every camera, from iPhones to professional TV rigs.
How will you repair a dead module behind glass?
- The Reality: Rear-maintenance cabinets are installed directly against glass or inside a closed light box.
- The Cause: One dead module = scaffolding + partial dismantling of the whole screen. Maintenance cost can exceed the price of the module itself.
- Our solution: Use front-maintenance transparent LED series or reserve a maintenance corridor behind the screen. Make sure your supplier shows you a real maintenance demo before you confirm.
Why Us
Custom LED solutions
We Say “Yes” to Complex Shapes
- Bespoke LED displays for irregular spaces: We cut custom PCBs to fit triangles, circles, and slanted edges, ensuring the screen follows your façade perfectly.
- Flexible & Curved Customization: From flexible film to curved locks, our custom LED solutions bend with your architecture instead of fighting it.
- Tailored Mounting Systems: We design and manufacture bespoke brackets that match your existing spider fittings and mullions – no ugly add-on steel.
Obsessive Quality Control
Built for “Anti-Failure”
- 72-hour full-brightness aging on every module – 3× the common standard.
- Vibration tests to simulate long-distance shipping and avoid hidden solder issues.
- UV / blue-ray chambers to stress-test glue and masks so our “anti-yellowing” promise actually means something.
Full-Cycle Project Support
We Don’t Just Ship & Ghost
- CAD/DWG support: Send us your glass drawings – our engineers return steel structure and cable routing diagrams before you place the order.
- Remote software setup: We log in via TeamViewer to configure Novastar / Colorlight until the image looks exactly right.
- On-site supervision (for key projects): For large façades and landmark jobs, our engineers can fly to your site to guide installation and commissioning.
Factory-Direct Value
More Screen, Less Middleman
- Factory-direct pricing: You are dealing with the manufacturing base, not a middleman adding 30–50% margin.

transparent Led Display F.A.Q
Most frequent questions and answers
1. How do I control the screen? Is it compatible with Novastar?
2. Can I cut the transparent LED film to fit my glass?
- LED Film: Yes, the transparent distinct base material can be cut between pixel columns (using scissors), but you must not cut the electrical circuits.
- Cabinet Models: No, the cabinets are fixed sizes. Recommendation: Send us your glass measurements, and we will pre-cut or customize the modules at the factory to ensure a perfect fit without risking damage on-site.
3. How do I create 3D video content for Transparent LED Displays?
To achieve the “floating in mid-air” effect, your video content must follow these specific design principles:
- The Golden Rule (Black Background): Any part of your video that is pure black (RGB: 0,0,0) will not emit light. On a transparent screen, this black area becomes invisible, leaving only the main subject “floating” on the glass.
- Video Formats: Standard formats like MP4, MOV, or AVI work perfectly. You generally do not need an Alpha Channel (transparent background) file; a simple black background works best for hardware decoding.
- 3D Depth & Contrast: Use high-contrast colors and neon outlines. Avoid dark, cluttered images. For the best 3D holographic effect, the object should rotate or have depth cues to trick the eye.
-
Resolution Matching:
Ensure your content resolution matches the screen’s pixel pitch (e.g., P3.91 vs. P10) to avoid pixelation on text or fine details.
Best Applications for 3D Content:
- Retail window “floating” shoes or jewelry.
- Immersive stage holograms using LED Mesh or Crystal Film.
- High-tech brand launches with holographic text.
4. How much does a transparent LED display cost?
Transparent LED displays are typically priced per square meter, but the final cost depends on pixel pitch, brightness, transparency level and installation method.
As a rough reference:
– Indoor transparent LED film usually starts from $700 / m²
– Outdoor mesh or curtain LED systems range from $400/ m²
For an accurate budget, we recommend evaluating the application, viewing distance and installation conditions together.
5. What is the HS Code for Transparent LED Displays?
6. Is the screen waterproof for outdoor use?
We have two distinct series:
Indoor (Film/Holographic): IP41 rated. Not waterproof.
Outdoor (Grille/Curtain): IP65/IP67 rated. These are designed to withstand heavy rain and storms. Please specify your installation environment when quoting so we don’t sell you the wrong protection level..
7. What happens if one LED lamp breaks? Do I change the whole screen?
No. Our design allows for Single Strip Replacement.
You do not need to take down the whole cabinet. Just remove the single faulty LED strip and plug in a spare one. The process takes about 1-2 minutes and can be done by a local electrician with our guide.
8. How do I choose the right pixel pitch for a transparent LED screen?
Pixel pitch should be selected based on viewing distance, not on resolution alone.
3–5 m → P3.9 / P5
10–20 m → P8 / P10
30 m+ → P16+
9. Can transparent LED screens be installed directly on glass?
Yes, but it depends on the product type.
– LED film and holographic screens can be directly applied to glass.
– Mesh and outdoor cabinets usually require a supporting steel structure.
Structural load and safety must always be evaluated before installation.
10.What are the key considerations for outdoor installation of transparent LED displays?
For outdoor installations, several key considerations must be taken into account:
- Weather Resistance: The display should be waterproof and dustproof to withstand rain, snow, and wind.
- Brightness Levels: The display needs high brightness to be visible in direct sunlight.
- Durability: The materials should be robust enough to handle temperature fluctuations and physical impacts.
- Mounting and Structural Support: The installation should ensure stability and safety, considering wind loads and structural integrity.
- Power Supply and Connectivity: Reliable power sources and secure connections are essential for consistent performance
