Planar DirectLight Essential – 1.2mm COB LED Video Wall Cabinet

Product Overview

The Planar DirectLight Essential 1.2mm pitch cabinet brings Chip-on-Board (COB) LED technology to projects that need high pixel density without a premium price point. This 600x337.5mm cabinet uses a 4x2 module array, a ColorLight VD10 receiver card, and front-serviceable modules for fast installation and maintenance. It is engineered for high-traffic indoor environments where image clarity and durability are priorities. The single power supply accepts 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz input for flexible deployment.

Product Description

The Planar DirectLight Essential Series was designed to make fine-pitch COB video walls accessible to a wider range of commercial AV installations. COB construction encapsulates the LED chips beneath a protective resin layer, which improves resistance to impact, dust, and abrasion compared with conventional surface-mount LED packages. This 1.2mm pitch model delivers high pixel density suited to close viewing distances in lobbies, retail spaces, conference rooms, and broadcast environments. A proprietary driver IC built specifically for COB technology controls power and data to each LED to support consistent brightness and color uniformity across the wall. The series carries a 30,000:1 contrast ratio and a 3,840Hz refresh rate, which helps the display render deep blacks and smooth motion on camera. Front-service access to modules and electronics allows a single technician to maintain the wall without rear clearance. The 600x337.5mm cabinet format and 4x2 module array let integrators scale the canvas to the dimensions a room requires. The included ColorLight VD10 receiver card pairs with compatible ColorLight controllers, and the series is also compatible with the Planar WallDirector video controller.
