LED Video Display Technology

Lightweight, Color-Rich LED for Indoor

Daktronics COB displays provide high-contrast, wide-angle imagery on a thin, lightweight LED canvas that saves energy and reduces thermal waste. Distinguished by its proprietary deep-black protective coating, these narrow pixel pitch displays dramatically elevate contrast, resulting in bold imagery. The surface encapsulant also serves as a protective barrier to reduce chances of damage during installation, operation or maintenance.

Flexible Display Size and Placement

COB LED panels are available in a variety of pixels spacing, so the resolution can match your application. The screens feature a 16:9 aspect ratio to best complement common broadcast standards. The touchable LED screens are mounted directly to the ultra-thin cabinet for a no-interference viewing experience for increased flexibility.


Innovative Product Design

Direct Mounting

COB uses red, blue, and green LEDs directly mounted to the display circuit board. This direct mounting approach eliminates the need for wire bonds and the traditional packaging that is standard for SMD and IMD LEDs.

Energy Efficient

High-efficiency power supplies greatly reduce power consumption, leading to a lower total cost of ownership over the display’s lifetime. The reduced power consumption requires fewer circuits, thereby lowering infrastructure costs, enhancing reliability, and minimizing the environmental footprint, all while delivering substantial cost savings.

Lighter & Thinner

Nearly 45% lighter and 55% thinner than previous generations, the cabinet’s minimalist profile makes more installations possible. With reduced strain on mounting structures and optional speed frame for a quick installation, it offers a compact, non-intrusive fit for narrow spaces and close-proximity environments.

Cool Running

The COB series efficiently dissipates heat to prevent component failure, providing owners with a longer lasting return on investment. Its exceptional thermal efficiency is attributed to innovative design choices and COB LED technology.

Wide Viewing Angles

COB LEDs are unobstructed and can be viewed from extreme angles, meaning the intended audience can see high-quality colors and details from many vantage points.

Enhanced Contrast

A visual breakthrough, our deep-black matte encapsulant darkens the black state of the display to make colors and ultra-fine details pop off the screen. The combination of the deep black surface and matte finish creates superior contrast and image quality in all types of ambient lighting conditions.

Fortified LED Protection

Daktronics-engineered matte-black surface is constructed using a thin, transparent barrier infused with matte-black particles. Backed by decades of design expertise, our superior surface coating ensures fortified protection of the LEDs while enhancing contrast and reducing surface glare.

Beginning with a raw printed circuit card with exposed red, green, and blue flip-chip light-emitting diodes, a contrast enhancement is then robotically applied between and around each individual diode. Finally, a matte-finish surface encapsulant reduces ambient light reflection and protects the panel surface. The result is an easy-to-clean, touchable surface, making it the perfect solution for close-encounter and busy environments.

Extended Lifespan

Utmost resistance to impact, moisture, dust, static, and oxidation, offering a worry-free and long-lasting experience.

Elevated Brightness

Elevated brightness options accommodate environments with high ambient lighting, such as direct sunlight and harsh overhead lighting.

Glare Free

The non-reflective surface cuts down on light interference and creates stunning contrast and ultra-fine details.
