What Are the Advantages of Front Maintenance LED Displays?

When selecting LED displays, you may meet technical phrases like “front maintenance” and “rear maintenance” quite often. So, what’s the difference between front maintenance and rear maintenance? Which one is better?

Rear maintenance is mostly employed in large outdoor LED displays which are installed on building facades. For sites using rear service screens, maintenance channels should be set up behind the screens to offer convenience to technicians to overhaul and maintain regularly. In another word, installation of rear service LED screens requires a larger amount of effort and higher skill level, which is time-consuming and labor-consuming. Obviously, rear maintenance LED displays are not the best option for applications for indoor, embedded mounting and wall mounting where space is limited.

The term “front maintenance“ refers to the process of using tools to remove the modules from the front size of the cabinets for maintenance. The growing popularity of small pixel pitch LED panels has spurred front maintenance to the mainstream for indoor LED display market. Indoor front service modules are of magnetic design. Modules and the cabinets are connected by magnetic adsorption. In this way, the general construction of indoor display screens is getting lighter and thinner to fit in the surroundings and maximum the visual effect. 

Front maintenance modules are also applied in outdoor LED displays by some manufacturers. Our product, Genesis II, is an excellent example of outdoor front maintenance LED display, making it easy maintenance. The technicians can quickly remove the module in 20 seconds by using an Allen Key to unlock 4 fasteners of the module from the front.

Compared to rear maintenance, the advantages of front maintenance LED screen mainly lies in achieving greater use of environmental space and reducing the difficulty of daily maintenance. However, rear maintenance solutions are less expensive and more efficient to maintain. For large outdoor LED displays, it’s more cost-effective to adopt LED displays with rear service.
