Sharp LED-FC015i-137 – 137" FC Series FHD COB dvLED Kit

Product Overview

The Sharp LED-FC015i-137 is a 137-inch Full HD direct view LED video wall kit built for high-traffic commercial environments where durability matters as much as image quality. Using Sharp/NEC's 1.58mm pixel pitch flip chip COB LED modules, this FC Series dvLED display kit delivers 800 cd/m2 brightness and a 20,000:1 contrast ratio for retail digital signage, transportation hubs, museums and public spaces. The complete LED video wall bundle ships with modules, controller, power bar, wall mount and spare parts, giving AV integrators a single-SKU path to a finished 1920x1080 LED wall viewable from as close as 3 feet.

Product Description

The FC Series pairs fine pixel pitch imaging with chip-on-board (COB) construction, encapsulating the LEDs in a protective layer that withstands the bumps and contact common in lobbies, retail floors and transit environments. Flip chip COB technology also improves efficiency, producing unmatched brightness among fine-pitch dvLED displays while maintaining uniform color and brightness across the entire wall. The 16:9 aspect ratio means standard Full HD content plays natively with no reformatting, reducing content creation time and cost for digital signage teams.

Installation is simplified by a cable-free module design — no external cables are required between cabinets — and the complete kit includes the LED controller, 25 cabinets with 200 pixel cards, a 5x5 overframe kit, power bar, wall mount, pixel card removal tool and spare parts. Front-serviceable, hot-swappable pixel cards can be replaced without powering down the display, supporting flush wall mounting in spaces without rear access. At just 3.2 inches installed depth, the LED-FC015i-137 meets ADA protrusion requirements in public corridors. HDMI, DVI-D and 3G-SDI inputs plus LAN and GenLock control allow straightforward integration with commercial AV control and content management systems. Designed and tested in Germany, the FC Series is backed by a 3-year limited warranty and Sharp/NEC planning, installation and maintenance support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the LED-FC015i-137 video wall kit?

The bundle includes the LED controller, 25 LED cabinets with 200 pixel cards, a 5x5 overframe kit, power bar, 5x5 wall mount, pixel card removal tool and a spare parts kit. Professional installation is required and not included in the product price.

Why choose COB over standard SMD dvLED for a public space?

COB (chip-on-board) flip chip modules encapsulate the LEDs in a protective layer, making the surface far more resistant to impact and contact than exposed SMD packages. This makes the FC Series well suited to lobbies, retail floors, museums and transportation hubs.

How close can viewers stand to this 1.58mm dvLED display?

The 1.58mm pixel pitch is designed for comfortable viewing from approximately 3 to 8 feet, so the display works in close-proximity environments where audiences walk directly past the wall.

How does the display integrate with an AV control system?

The included LED controller accepts HDMI, DVI-D and 3G-SDI sources and provides LAN and GenLock connections for control and synchronization, allowing integration with commercial AV control processors and signage CMS platforms.

Can the wall be serviced without rear access?

Yes. All pixel cards are front-serviceable and hot-swappable, so modules can be replaced from the front while the display stays powered on — ideal for flush-mount installations.

What warranty covers the FC Series?

The LED-FC015i-137 carries a 3-year limited warranty from Sharp/NEC. Contact Creation Networks for extended service plans and post-installation maintenance options.
