Planar is the latest large format display company to sense and go after the rapidly emerging virtual production business – which sees big direct view LED displays replacing green screens on film and broadcast production sets. […]
The retail design firm Lonsdale is doing some interesting work with what is described as LED chandeliers in Huawei retail stores in Europe. The Chinese tech manufacturer’s flagship stores in Paris and Berlin have tall LED sculptures as centerpieces in the store design – with custom LED strips, clad with mirrored frames, suspended vertically and in a circle, some overlapping others. […]
Big DV LED video walls in retail are growing increasingly common, but in many cases the visual impact is limited by the sheer size of the store. Here’s a case where the LED is almost as big as the store, so it has a massive visual impact. […]
Those madly spinning LED light wand thingies don’t make a lot of sense to me in a digital signage industry that tries hard to not use tech with moving parts. But once in a while I come across an application where they make sense and are effective. There have been a couple of interesting applications in shop windows, with the LED visuals materializing beside product. […]
This is a very interesting use of direct view LED on the facade of a high street telecoms store in Brisbane, Australia. The display is a curved arc over two windows on the street corner store for the Yes Optus Store on Queen Street in Brisbane. The project was done by the local to Brisbane solutions provider Entwined. […]
A group of mainly Asian suppliers have banded together to create what they’re calling the EZ LED Academy – a free series of training pieces aimed at raising the level of understanding of direct view LED display technology. […]
Portland-based Planar, and by extension its Chinese parent company Leyard, has formally joined the growing list of display companies offering super-fine pitch, microLED-driven video wall displays. The company’s new DirectLight Ultra Series has pitches ranging from 0.6 to 1.2mm. […]
I am not entirely sure what is going on here, but I think this is a concert venue in Kiev, Ukraine, and the record label behind the event is using a big LED mesh canopy to drive ambient visuals. This is what immersive experiences expert Dorothy Di Stefano has to say, via Linkedin: The team at SETUP [? ? […]
LED video walls in office tower lobbies are growing increasingly common as a combination of experiential marketing tool and tenant amenity, but I haven’t seen one done like this – lower resolution LED motion graphics behind a huge sheet of perforated metal. […]
If you have been around the industry forever, like me, you may recall many years ago an early UK media network in chain retail stores that was based around a small-ish LCD on a counter-mounted pole or wall, with a low-rez LED ticker above it. […]
The majority of the anamorphic 3D creative visuals we’ve highlighted in recent months have some from China and South Korea, but here’s a new one from London’s Picadilly Circus. It is a promo on a wraparound LED board, operated by Ocean Outdoor in the famed tourist district, for the new Netflix film Army of the Dead, directed by Zack Snyder. […]
One of the reasons that LED display manufacturers have turned to bundled products and fixed sizes is that they say the pro AV ecosystem, as a whole, is still somewhat unfamiliar with the technology and how it goes together. So they struggle to sell something they don’t totally understand – given all the references to pitches and diodes and modules and cabinets and on and on. […]
This is a Starbucks Reserve location in Seoul, in the same office tower as the coffee company’s Korean headquarters. It has a 2.5mm LED video wall on an arched feature wall. The video shows it running an animated watercolor depicting a coffee planation. […]
The 16:9 PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY SCREENFEED – DIGITAL SIGNAGE CONTENT I was scrolling my way through my Linkedin feed recently when I stumbled across a post from a guy who said he was the inventor of the much-debated term digital signage, with a bio photo that showed him wielding a bottle of champagne that was about the size of a golf bag. Clearly, I needed to speak with this guy. […]
There are lots of examples of huge, buzzworthy LED displays going up in new sports venues – over the pitch and in some cases being all or much of the facade. […]
