Planar DirectLight Essential Series 0.9mm 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 0.9mm module is a fine-pitch Chip-on-Board (COB) LED tile measuring 150x168.75mm. It belongs to the DirectLight Essential Series, Planar's COB-based fine-pitch LED video wall line built for high image quality at an accessible price point. The 0.9mm pixel pitch suits close-viewing indoor applications such as control rooms, lobbies, and conference spaces. Creation Networks supplies DirectLight Essential modules for integrators building indoor fine-pitch LED video walls.

Product Description

This Planar DirectLight Essential 0.9mm module is a component of the DirectLight Essential Series, Planar's first Chip-on-Board (COB) offering in the DirectLight portfolio. COB technology encapsulates the LEDs in a unified surface, providing higher pixel density and increased durability compared with traditional surface-mount LED designs, which is valuable in environments where the wall may be touched or subject to incidental contact. The 0.9mm pixel pitch supports detailed imagery for close viewing distances, making it appropriate for control rooms, corporate lobbies, conference rooms, and broadcast applications. The series presents deeper blacks and sharper visuals with a 30,000:1 contrast ratio and a high refresh rate of 3,840Hz, supporting clean reproduction of detailed content and on-camera use. A proprietary driver IC designed specifically for COB technology helps control power and data to each LED, mitigating brightness and color uniformity issues across the wall. The 150x168.75mm module format supports flexible wall sizing and serviceable maintenance. DirectLight Essential video walls are protected by Planar's 3-year LED standard limited warranty. Because final brightness, resolution, and wall dimensions depend on configuration, these should be confirmed per project. For related Planar LED video wall products, browse our Planar collection.
