WS2815 Features

  • The control circuit and the LED share the only power source.
  • h 12V DC power supply, t ere are a decrease of the whole operating current, a decrease in voltage drop, and furthermore an increase consistency of three-color mixing even long distance signal transmission.
  • The control circuit and RGB chip are integrated in a 5050 components, to form an external control pixel.
  • Using the built-in signal reshaping circuit to achieve the signal waveform shaping, and no distortion of waveform of signal takes place.
  • Built-in power-on reset and brown-out reset circuits.
  • The gray levels of each pixel are of 256 levels, which achieves '256256256=16777216' full-color display, and the refresh frequency reaches to 2KHz/s.
  • Serial cascade interface, data receiving and decoding depend on just one signal line.
  • Dual-signal wires version, signal break-point continuous transmission.
  • Any two point the distance more than 3m transmission signal without any increase circuit.
  • When the refresh rate is 30fps, cascade numbers are far more than 1024 points.
  • Data transmitting at speeds of up to 800Kbps.
  • Good color consistency reliability, high cost-effective.

WS2815 Applications

  • Guardrail tube series, point light display series, flexible/rigid strips series, module series applications.
  • Lighting stage costumes, innovative gadgets or any other electronic products.
