Difference between SMD or DIP LED

DIP technology uses cylindrical LED welded through the printed circuit boards ending in a hemispherical dome, a lens for maximizing light intensity. Each single LED can generate only one color and that is why three separate RGB LEDs (red, green and blue) are used in a triangle shape. This technology is still used for large outdoor installations. In SMD technology, three small diodes are still used (the usual red, green and blue RGB) but all of the three are placed inside a single square capsule and welded on top of the printed circuit board. With this “all in one” solution, a shorter distance between the individual pixels is guaranteed, with the greatest advantage of obtaining high resolutions, which means more defined pictures at a shorter viewing distance.
