Planar DirectLight Essential 1.5 – COB Indoor LED Module

Product Overview

The Planar DirectLight Essential 1.5 is a 1.5mm pixel pitch indoor LED module built with Chip-on-Board (COB) technology, measuring 300x168.75mm. It belongs to the Planar DirectLight Essential Series, a COB platform engineered for high pixel density, durability, and strong contrast in indoor environments. The COB construction protects the LEDs against impact and abrasion while delivering deep blacks and high refresh performance. This module is a component for building DirectLight Essential video walls in lobbies, retail, conference rooms, and similar spaces.

Product Description

The Planar DirectLight Essential 1.5 module uses COB (Chip-on-Board) LED technology, which encapsulates the LEDs for improved durability in high-traffic indoor settings. With a 1.5mm pixel pitch and a 300x168.75mm module size, it supports detailed content at moderate viewing distances. The DirectLight Essential Series is designed around a proprietary driver IC built for COB technology that controls power and data to each COB LED, supporting brightness and color uniformity across the wall. The series delivers a 30,000:1 contrast ratio and a 3,840Hz refresh rate, producing deep blacks and stable on-camera performance. COB construction also improves resistance to handling damage during installation and service. This module is intended for use within a DirectLight Essential video wall, with quantities determined by the target wall size and resolution. The DirectLight Essential Series has been recognized with industry honors including Best of InfoComm 2025.
