What Is an LED Sheet Strip?

An LED sheet strip is a flexible, ultra-thin sheet embedded with multiple LEDs arranged in a grid-like pattern. Unlike traditional linear LED strips, LED sheet strips provide uniform backlighting with no visible hotspots, making them ideal for applications requiring consistent and wide-area illumination.

Key Features of LED Sheet Strips:

✔ Ultra-thin and flexible → Can be installed on curved or flat surfaces.
✔ Dot-free illumination → Eliminates visible LED hotspots.
✔ Wide and even light distribution → Suitable for large-scale backlighting.
✔ Customizable cutting options → Can be cut into different shapes and sizes.
✔ Low power consumption → Energy-efficient with high brightness.
