Independent sourcing partner

Transparent led display briefs before any factory number

Transparent Led Display Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner for US buyers who need glass-mounted LED quotations. We are not the factory, and we do not treat a product-family photograph as a confirmed cabinet.

The home task is to name the application and the open specification fields. Pixel pitch, brightness, resolution, display dimensions, indoor or outdoor rating, viewing distance, control system, and mounting and service access all stay marked unknown until the proposed supplier ties them to one model.

PitchBuyer states a viewing-distance range. The factory names the exact module.
BrightnessAsk for the test basis, not a headline nit value alone.
PowerVoltage, frequency and phase are site inputs, not assumptions.
DocumentsDatasheet, drawing, and deviation list follow the model name.

Buyers often start with screening bands and then force the factory to replace them: retail pitch near 2.6–3.9 mm, long-view mesh near 6–10 mm, indoor brightness questions near 1,000–2,000 nits, sunlit outdoor questions near 4,000–6,000 nits, and image-off transparency discussed around 40–80%. Those bands are not ratings from this desk.

Four fields every transparent led display brief should separate

A useful inquiry splits the job into application, interfaces, operating duty and evidence. Mixing those fields is how two factories quote different machines under one product name.

Application and process

Retail glazing, atrium curtains, exhibition boxes and shelter glass do not share the same viewing distance or service side. Write the surface, the audience position and whether the glass must stay see-through when the image is off.

Input and control interface

Record input voltage, signal type, player versus synchronous processor, and who supplies the content software. A control interface that is only named in a brochure is not an included accessory.

Duty and environment

State indoor or outdoor hours, ambient temperature, and whether the face is washed by sun. Throughput here means hours of image-on time, not a production-line rate. Ask the supplier to state the duty condition used for brightness.

Files and acceptance

List the drawing revision, the factory acceptance test you expect before shipment, and who signs specification deviations. Certificates belong to the proposed model and supplier, not to this desk.

Application matrix for the first quotation round

Use the matrix as an input sheet. It does not rank factories and it does not claim that any row is already compatible with a named cabinet.

Questions buyers ask before the first RFQ

What has to be in the first message?

Name the product family, the glass or frame application, quantity, US destination and requested timing. Add pixel pitch and brightness only as ranges if the final viewing distance is still open. Optional budget should state currency and whether it is per cabinet, per square metre or the whole order.

Do we need a supplier rating before we inquire?

No. Premium, mid-range, budget-friendly or not sure is a preference about finish, customization and service depth. It is not a score this desk has verified, and you do not need an existing quotation to start.

Can two headline prices be compared on day one?

Only after configuration, quantity, currency, Incoterm, freight, controllers, commissioning scope and exclusions match. A lower cabinet price can hide a separate processor, spare parts or site power work. We do not publish a savings figure.

Which documents stay open?

Shop drawings, a current datasheet, the brightness test basis, any UL, ETL or FCC file that the installation actually needs, and a written deviation list. Those documents come from the proposed supplier for the exact model. This site does not hold them in advance.

Minimum list for a comparable transparent LED RFQ

  • Application, approximate display dimensions and viewing distance
  • Indoor or outdoor rating and who services the face
  • Quantity, destination city and requested window
  • Control system preference and what is excluded
  • Files you can send after the form: drawings or a sample photo

Submit the brief and we will tell you which fields still block a like-for-like factory comparison.
