Analysis LED Screen Display Price

Por /

LED displays are classified by application environment into indoor and outdoor types, and by application scenarios, they are incredibly diverse, including advertising, conferences, stage performances, rentals, public transportation, signage, and lighting. In terms of models, there are hundreds of types, ranging from indoor fine-pitch P0.4 to outdoor large-pitch P100. Below is a breakdown of LED display prices. If you have specific LED display project requirements, please send us your needs.

1. Overview of Cost Structure

The total project cost consists of the following four core modules:

  1. Module A: Direct Material of LED Screen Display Price

  2. Module B: Engineering, Development & Customization Costs

  3. Module C: Logistics, Tariff & Insurance Costs

  4. Module D: Indirect & Assembly Costs

2. Detailed Breakdown of Cost Components

Module A: Direct Material Costs

This covers the physical components of the display and forms the basis of the quotation.

No. Cost Item Detailed Description & Cost Drivers
A1 Módulo LED The core cost component. Price is determined by pixel pitch and manufacturing process. Special shapes leading to non-standard modules (e.g., triangular, trapezoidal) will significantly increase PCB design and cutting costs, reduce material utilization, and can raise costs by 30%-100%.
A2 Lámpara LED Key to display performance and lifespan. The price difference between imported brands y domestic brands can be 30%-50%. Key price parameters include wavelength consistency, brightness, and ESD protection rating.
A3 IC del controlador Controls scanning and grayscale. ICs with higher refresh rates, higher grayscale levels, and energy-saving features are more expensive. Specific models and brands must be specified.
A4 Kits & Connectors Includes module masks/housings, waterproof gaskets, locks, cables (power, network), and connectors. High-quality connectors ensure signal stability. Outdoor projects require aviation plugs, which are more expensive than standard terminals.
A5 LED Switching Power Supply Significant price difference exists between reputable brands (e.g., Mean Well) and generic brands. High-efficiency, high-reliability power supplies ensure long-term stable operation and are part of the initial cost.
A6 LED Cabinet Die-cast aluminum cabinets offer high precision, better heat dissipation, and are more expensive; sheet metal cabinets are more cost-effective. Special curved or irregular cabinets require CNC machining or custom molds, drastically increasing costs.
A7 Steel Structure The main frame and support structure. Cost depends on steel volume, design complexity (high processing costs for irregular shapes), and surface treatment (e.g., fluorocarbon coating). Structural calculation documents should be provided.
A8 Control System Specified Brands:
• Brands like HUIDU (ICN), NOVASTAR are mainstream Chinese brands. Specific models (sender cards, receiver cards, processors) must be specified.
• Cost depends on load capacity, features (e.g., HDR support, multi-layer splicing), and whether redundancy is required.

Module B: Engineering, Development & Customization Costs

This reflects the project’s “soft power” and depth of customization.

No. Cost Item Detailed Description & Cost Drivers
B1 Special Shape Design & Implementation A major value-added and risk point. Includes:
• 3D Structural Design & Simulation Fees
• Mold Development Costs for shaped modules/cabinets (one-time, high investment)
• Small-batch trial production and debugging fees
B2 Third-party Software Platform Integration & Development A key and often underestimated cost. Includes:
• API Interface Development: Integration with client’s central control systems (e.g., AMX, Crestron), content management systems, data centers, etc.
• Custom Function Development: Such as specific data visualization, interactive controls, multi-screen synchronization logic.
• Testing & Certification Fees: To ensure system compatibility and stability.
• Future upgrade and maintenance fees.
B3 System Integration & Commissioning Technical labor costs associated with integrating the display, control system, third-party software, and peripheral equipment (audio, sensors) into a stable, unified system.

Module C: Logistics, Tariff & Insurance of LED Screen Display Price

Critical considerations for international trade or long-distance domestic transport.

No. Cost Item Detailed Description & Cost Drivers
C1 Transportation Cost • Mode of Transport: Air (fast, expensive), Sea (slow, economical), Land.
• Volume & Weight: Displays are “volumetric cargo”; dimensional weight is a key billing factor.
• Packaging Requirements: Export requires fumigation-free wooden crates, more expensive than standard cartons.
• Destination: Remote areas incur surcharges.
C2 Tariffs & Import Taxes/Duties • Importing Country’s Tax Rates: Tariffs and Value-Added Tax (VAT/GST) on LED displays and components vary by country. Must be researched beforehand.
• Certificate of Origin: Can be used to claim tariff exemptions under free trade agreements.
• HS Code Classification: Correct classification significantly impacts payable duties and taxes.
C3 Insurance Premium All-risk insurance for cargo shipment, typically calculated as a percentage of the goods’ value (e.g., 0.3%-0.5%), to mitigate transportation risks.

Module D: Indirect & Assembly of LED Screen Display Price

No. Cost Item Detailed Description & Cost Drivers
D1 Assembly Cost Refers to the production cost of assembling modules, power supplies, wiring, etc., into cabinets and performing preliminary testing in the factory. Influenced by automation level, labor rates, and product complexity (shaped displays take longer to assemble).
D2 Project Management & Quality Inspection Cost allocation for project coordination, quality control, and pre-delivery testing (e.g., 72-hour continuous burn-in).
D3 On-site Installation & Commissioning (Often quoted separately but must be included in the overall budget) Costs for on-site hoisting, splicing, system commissioning, color calibration, including labor, equipment, and travel. Installation complexity for shaped displays increases this cost.

3. Cost Weight Analysis & Quotation Evaluation Points

  1. Dynamic Cost Weight Model:

    • Standard Indoor LED Screen Display Price: Module A (Direct Materials) typically accounts for 70%-80% of the ex-factory price.

    • Complex Custom/Shaped Display: Module A’s share may drop to 50%-60%, while Module B’s (Development & Customization) share rises significantly to 15%-25%.

    • Export Project: Module C (Logistics & Tariffs) can add 10%-30% to the total cost (depending on the destination).

  2. Quotation Evaluation Points:

    • Require Itemized Quotation: Insist that suppliers provide a detailed quotation structured similarly to this report, especially for items in Modules B and C.

    • Clarify Ownership: Clearly define the ownership of mold costs and software copyrights in the contract.

    • Define Scope: Precisely define the specific scope of work, interface standards, deliverables, and post-sales support responsibilities for “third-party integration.”

    • Tax/Duty Responsibility: Use Incoterms 2020 terms (e.g., FOB, CIF, DDP) to clearly delineate buyer and seller responsibilities for logistics, insurance, and tariffs.

4. Example: Cost Snapshot for an Export Custom Project

Project Assumption: A custom 15 sqm curved creative display (P2.5) for an overseas exhibition hall, requiring integration with the venue’s central control system, shipped to the EU.

Cost Module Key Items Cost Characteristics
Module A Shaped Modules, Huidu System, Die-cast Cabinets Modules and cabinets are non-standard due to curvature, costing more than a standard flat display.
Module B Mold Cost for Curved Structure, API Development for Central Control Major additional costs. Mold cost is one-time. Software development is charged per man-day.
Module C Sea Freight + Insurance, EU Tariff + VAT Sea freight is significant. EU imports incur tariffs (~3-5%) and VAT (~20%).
Module D Complex Assembly, On-site Commissioning Time-consuming assembly. On-site installation requires engineers to travel, increasing costs.
Total Cost of LED Screen Display Price Conclusion: The total project cost could be 2 to 2.5 times that of a domestic standard flat display of the same area.
