    LED Channel Sign on Hyundai Motor's Head Office

    Recently the signboards appropriately equipped with the required factors such as
    design, size, illumination, and characteristics have appeared. Let's take a look at the

    LED channel sign installed on the exterior wall of the office building of Hyundai Motor's.


    Selected LED Channel Sign After Several times of Changes
    The best and cutting-edge technologies in Hyundai Motor's newly enlarged headquater at Seoul this year has its position more predominant with the help of large-sized LED channel sign. LED channel sign is installed on the upper side of 22-story building, and the size of its logo is 9.9m in width and 5m in height: the size of its character parts is 20.38m in width and 3.2m in height, which can secure the visibility at a distance from 2km or so. As the building is located beside highway where a lot of floating population pass by daily, its advertising effect is expected to be considerable.
    Hyundai Motor Company first began to install the ordinary sign on the exterior wall of its office building in December, 2000, and exchanged it with the cold cathode of which illumination was reinforced in March, 2003. It was newly remodeled with LED channel sign in February 2007 when was four years later. This sign exchange project had been planned for 5 months. As the sign was required to effectively express the large enterprise image of Hyundai Motor Company, it was said that there was a careful and complicated tender process for the selection of sign.
    Samwon Industry, a professional company in LED field, was in charge of LED system in LED channel sign which has been newly installed. Mr. Shim, head of design team explained the outline of design as referring, "We paid our careful attention to the visibility range because it is the factor which can have much influence on the effect of LED channel sign. As the channel sign of Hyundai Motor Company was to be installed on the high location of 22-story building, we tried to express the change intended for big movement rather than the detailed change."

    Overcame dot effect by minimizing distance between each modules
    Because it was required to secure the illumination higher than the cold cathode which was the existing sign, the illumination effect have been optimized by manufacturing it as the exposure type. In addition, as it was required to express it simply as possible as we could in order to let it compatible with the image of enterprise though having used full color in LED module, we mainly used white and blue among the full colors.
    LED cluster was used in channel sign. Mr. Park, director of Samwon Industry said, "The mass-production of LED cluster, outstanding in animation effect, is for the product with 10-bulbs in general. But we newly produced the product of 9-bulbs in order to meet the specifications for channel sign of Hyundai Motor Company. More solid installation was possible because we used 9-bulbs by taking 1 bulb from 10 bulbs." Usually, they perform the test operation of LED in order to screen the defected products before the installation of finished product. As it is difficult to check the defected products of LED in short time, they say that it is required to conduct the check work for 24 hours at least.
    In the installed channel sign, they inputted about 12,000 of modules, 56 sets of SMPS in 600W, 1 set of high-capacity controller which can accommodate over 10,000 modules; as 4 sets of this kind of channel signs have been installed, its effect is expected to be considerable.
