Small-pitch LED rental screens that previously boasted HD indoor display capabilities have now taken an impressive leap into outdoor markets, becoming more common and versatile as an outdoor display solution. Leveraging their competitive advantages such as upgraded image quality, increased protection, and flexible installation capabilities, small-pitch rental screens have successfully broken down technological barriers associated with large outdoor screens to become the go-to option for commercial ads, sports events, and cultural tourism performances – thus driving an upgrade cycle within this display market segment.
Small-pitch rental screens have found success in outdoor applications thanks to technological upgrades that enhance scene adaptability. Traditional outdoor LED rental screens, typically P10 products, were once only suitable for large-pitch rental screens. As much as these displays offer advantages such as high brightness and weather resistance, their image quality is subpar; graininess becomes visible almost immediately, making it hard to meet the fine display needs for high-end brand advertising or immersive performances. Small-pitch rental screens (especially P2.5 specifications and below) deliver enhanced color uniformity and image detail through SMD surface-mount LED designs, combined with an increased refresh rate (>=3840Hz), to produce smooth dynamic images without ghosting – perfectly meeting the high-quality visual needs of advertising, live sports broadcasting, and other applications.
Small-pitch outdoor rental screens have undergone significant upgrades in terms of environmental adaptability. At present, mainstream products typically boast IP65 protection ratings on both front and rear sides – effectively resisting rain and dust. Utilizing metal conduction heat dissipation technology and an intelligent temperature control system, our product’s operating temperature range spans from -20 to +50. This enables it to withstand both the high temperatures of southern summers as well as severe cold in northern climates. Mainstream outdoor small-pitch rental screens can achieve brightness levels exceeding 5000 nits for clear visibility even under direct sunlight, completely solving brightness limitations associated with small-pitch products in outdoor applications.
Lightweight and modular designs of small-pitch rental screens further increase their outdoor competitiveness. Utilizing die-cast aluminum cabinets, which weigh 30-35% less than traditional products, and standardized splicing and quick-locking structures allow for flexible combinations of multiple sizes and rapid assembly and disassembly processes that take just three or four people to assemble large screens efficiently – ideal for high frequency venue changes like outdoor events and temporary exhibitions while simultaneously decreasing transportation and warehousing costs and improving equipment turnover efficiency.
Market data reinforces this growth trend. According to industry reports, the global outdoor small-pitch LED display market will reach 42 billion yuan by 2025, with rental products accounting for 35%. Shipments of P2.5 and below small-pitch outdoor rental screens are projected to experience compound annual growth rates exceeding 25% year-on-year compared with traditional large-pitch products. Leading companies have significantly increased investment in this segment with targeted product portfolio launches for outdoor small-pitch rentals screens; and overseas markets have especially shown positive performance; for example in 2024 China saw exports grow year-on-year by 31.5% year-on-year with Southeast Asia being key growth drivers for small-pitch rentals screen exports outperforming even traditional large pitches products in terms of growth rates year on year compared with traditional large pitches products.
Small-pitch rental screens have taken over the outdoor rental market as a direct result of an evolution from “visible” displays to those that provide clear and pleasing images. As technologies like Mini LED and COB packaging become more widely adopted, small-pitch rental screens will see further advancements in terms of brightness, power consumption, and reliability. Intelligent features such as 5G remote control and AI-driven brightness adaptation will facilitate their application in emerging outdoor scenarios such as smart cities and cultural tourism integration, leading to further application expansion for small-pitch rental screens in outdoor settings such as these. As such, we anticipate an upward trajectory in growth for this market in terms of both technological advancement and scenario expansion.
