When you are in a bustling city, are you attracted by the content of the LED display on the roof of the taxi? It has become an important part of new mobile advertising in the city. Are you also thinking about how to install a taxi top LED display on your car roof or taxi? Next, we will explore taxi top led display knowledge for you in detail.
What is the Taxi Top LED Display?
Taxi top LED display refers to the LED display screen installed on the roof of taxis and cars. It can use the vehicle’s own power supply system to play pictures, videos, text, and other advertisements and notification content.
But it is different from the traditional LED display that is fixedly installed in one position. Its position can be changed at any time, so it can have the opportunity to reach various types of people.
How Taxi Top LED Display Works
The working principle of the taxi top LED display is the same as that of the conventional LED display. It is imaged through light-emitting diodes, except that its power supply is powered by the vehicle’s 12V or 24V input voltage.
LED display modules
The most important core component that makes up it is still the LED module, which can emit light through the DC5v power output of the power supply.
Control System
The control system is equivalent to the human brain. It consists of a sending box and receiving hardware, which can control and send programs, playback control, modulation programs, etc.
Connectivity
You may wonder how these technologies receive updates. They are often equipped to connect with 4G, or 5G modems, Wi-Fi, or other data transmission technologies for wireless communication.
CMS
Advertisers use this to schedule and manage the content displayed on the LED panels based on specific times, locations, or target demographics. This also enables advertisers to upload content to the system, specifying display duration, time slots, and rotation seamlessly.
GPS and Sensors
GPS can locate it, run the trajectory, return the trajectory, etc., and can also reach the designated location to play programs and other functions. Furthermore, the sensors can be used to adjust brightness based on ambient light conditions or to monitor the display’s performance.
Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics
To ensure the optimal performance of the taxi top LED display, some utilize remote monitoring and diagnostic tools. This allows operators to identify and address any technical issues on the go without physically accessing the display.
Features

High Brightness
These displays are designed to be easily visible even in bright sunlight. They typically have high nits (brightness) ratings, such as 4500 nits or more, ensuring vivid display regardless of lighting conditions.
High-Resolution LED Panels
Most displays use high-quality LED panels that offer sharp and vibrant visuals to effectively attract attention. There are different pixel pitches to choose from, such as P1.86, P2, P2.5, P3, P3.33, and P5.
Waterproof Design
They have an ingress protection rating of up to 65, which makes them durable for long-term use.
Customizable Content
You can remotely send customized pictures, videos, animations, text, etc. to the top taxi LED display. You can also customize the playback window, playback duration, and fixed-point playback of advertisements, notifications, promotional content, etc.
Intelligent Control
It comes with a 4G or 5G module and a GPS module, which can send things to the remote cloud in real-time, control programs and advertising content, and also achieve GPS fixing and time correction.
Energy Efficient
This taxi top-led display also uses LED energy-saving and environmentally friendly materials and is powered by the vehicle system. The average power of a single unit is about 300W.
Excellent Heat Dissipation
The cabinet is made of aluminum with good heat dissipation, and fans are installed on both sides, so the heat emitted by the components inside the box can be easily discharged to the outside of the box in a timely manner, thereby ensuring the life and performance of the taxi top led display.
Easy to install and maintain
The installation adopts two common luggage racks on the roof of the taxi, pass through the brackets at the bottom of the taxi top-led display cabinet, and tighten them with screws to fix them.
