LED display

Glowing pixel panel

An LED display is a screen that uses light-emitting diodes to produce images or text.

Large outdoor LED displays appear on billboards and stadium scoreboards; smaller ones show information on appliances and digital clocks.

The term sometimes applies to LCD screens with LED backlighting, though these work differently from true LED displays where individual diodes form the image.
