Planar DirectLight Essential Series 0.7mm COB Module

About the Planar DirectLight Essential Series

The Planar DirectLight Essential Series is a line of fine pixel pitch LED video walls that deliver incredible visual performance tailored for budget-conscious indoor applications. Designed with COB (Chip-on-Board) technology, these displays offer higher pixel density and increased durability compared to traditional LED designs, for a high-quality viewing experience with improved brightness, deeper blacks and a high contrast ratio.

Product Overview

The Planar DirectLight Essential 0.7 is a fine-pitch indoor LED module built on Chip-on-Board (COB) technology. This model features a 0.7mm pixel pitch on a 150x168.75mm module within Planar's 27-inch cabinet platform. COB construction delivers higher pixel density and increased durability compared with traditional surface-mount LED designs. The series targets high-traffic indoor environments at an accessible price point.

Product Description

The DirectLight Essential Series brings COB (Chip-on-Board) technology to Planar's fine-pitch indoor LED lineup, pairing higher pixel density with the increased durability of an encapsulated COB surface. This 0.7mm module measures 150x168.75mm and is part of the 27-inch Essential cabinet platform offered in 0.7, 0.9, 1.2, and 1.5mm pixel pitches. The Essential Series delivers a 30,000:1 contrast ratio for deeper blacks and a high 3,840Hz refresh rate for clean capture and smooth motion. An LED sorting process pairs uniform LEDs to support consistent brightness and color while reducing energy requirements, and a proprietary driver IC designed for COB helps mitigate brightness and color uniformity issues. The Essential Series is compatible with both the Planar WallDirector Video Controller and ColorLight LED controllers. This part number is a single LED module rather than a complete cabinet or controller. Explore Planar's wider fine-pitch indoor LED range on our Planar collection page.
