Where does the LED display have strong radiation? Intelligent brightness adjustment saves 40% light pollution

2025-10-31 50

Have you also found that those blindingly bright LED screens in shopping malls make your eyes sore after looking at them for a long time? What’s even more scary is that I heard that these screens also emit radiation! Don't panic, today we will break it down and explain clearly which areas of the LED screen are most likely to be "poisoned" and how to avoid these pitfalls.


Be vigilant in three areas hardest hit by radiation

Let’s talk about the conclusion first:​ ​The radiation intensity of the LED screen mainly depends on the brightness and usage scenarios.​ ​. According to the GB/T 34034 standard released in 2024, these three places are the most dangerous:

Where does the LED display have strong radiation? Intelligent brightness adjustment saves 40% light pollution
  1. ​Outdoor advertising screen night mode​ ​: In order to save electricity, many businesses secretly adjust the brightness to above 10000cd/m² (2.5 times higher than the standard) at night.
  2. ​Sports venue fence screen​ ​: Only 3-5 meters away from the auditorium, the blue light radiation intensity is 20 times that of a mobile phone
  3. ​Shopping mall atrium floor tile screen​ ​: Children often lie down to watch, with their eyes less than 30 cm away from the screen.

Let’s take a real case: A 160-square-meter advertising screen in a shopping mall in Chongqing was eventually ordered to compensate by the court because its brightness exceeded the standard at night, causing the residents’ homes opposite to be as bright as day. We have to avoid this "light pollution killer".


Radiation types can be clearly distinguished

Don’t be afraid when you hear about radiation. LED screens mainly produce two types of radiation:

  • ​optical radiation​ ​: Including harsh blue light and ultraviolet rays, which can disrupt the biological clock
  • ​electromagnetic radiation​ ​: Mainly from power modules, qualified products do not exceed 1/10 of mobile phones

Here is a little trivia: Nowadays, high-end LED screens use​ ​Common cathode drive technology​ ​, can adjust the peak wavelength of blue light from 440nm to 470nm, directly reducing retinal damage by 30%. It's like wearing a pair of "anti-blue light glasses" on the screen.


Four tips to teach you how to avoid pitfalls

Remember these hard indicators when buying and installing a screen:

  1. ​Automatic brightness adjustment​ ​: The outdoor screen automatically drops below 600cd/m² at night (court ruling standard)
  2. ​Protection grade IP65​ ​: Dustproof and waterproof and can block 30% radiation
  3. ​Low brightness and high gray technology​ ​: Under the brightness of 800cd/m², the grayscale still maintains 16bit
  4. ​Fireproof materials with R value ≤1​ ​: Less toxic smoke and low radiation leakage during combustion

The fence screen used at an international competition venue is equipped with intelligent light sensors. It automatically dims when the sun goes down and brightens on rainy days. This kind of "breathing screen" is the future trend.


Technological breakthroughs reduce radiation

In the past two years, the industry has developed some black technologies:

  • ​Micron level flip chip​ ​: Reduce the size of the radiation source to 1/10 of a hair
  • ​Pre-maintenance design​ ​: No need to disassemble the back for maintenance, reducing electromagnetic leakage by 50%
  • ​Hot-swappable light panel​ ​: Replace dead pixels instantly to avoid long-term high-radiation operation

Actual measurement data shows that the electromagnetic radiation value of LED screens using these technologies can be controlled below 0.5W/m², which is 60% lower than the national standard. It is equivalent to turning a "radiation bomb" into an "airbag".


Exclusive data revealed

After working in display screen engineering for ten years, I discovered a phenomenon that goes against common sense:​ ​The bigger the screen, the safer it is​ ​! For example, a 400-square-meter curved screen installed in a commercial complex actually receives only 1/20 of the radiation received by a mobile phone screen because of the long viewing distance. On the contrary, it is a small-sized window screen, and the radiation intensity at close range is three times the national standard.

Next time you see a blinding LED screen, remember the three-step self-help method:

  1. Keep a distance of more than 3 meters
  2. Stay no longer than 15 minutes
  3. Wear anti-blue light glasses

Now you know, right? A good screen is like a martial arts hero, with all the hurtful moves hidden away!
