Explanation:
It's easier to understand if you keep the dimension with it: the real term here is 'pixel pitch', in your first example it is just being used as a qualifier for 'screens'

Actually, 'pixel pitch' is probably a bit of a misnomer, and you might well find here you could simply say they are '16 mm pixels', which would simplify the FR a bit.

As Thomas so rightly says, these are really more like 'display panels' than literally 'screens', and I think your original suggestions is probably better in that respect.

Explanation:
Peut-on utiliser le mot "écran" pour un panneau d'affichage qui est sans doute de grande taille (1,6 cm/pixel -> 17 m de large grosso modo)? Ne pouvex-vous pas garder votre propre traduction, "panneau d'affichage"?
