There’s a lot of buzz in the digital signage industry, as well as the markets the industry serves, about fine pixel pitch LED displays, and their ability to create bright, seamless visuals that transform spaces. […]
The major LCD display companies have pretty much all introduced fine pitch LED products to deal with a shift away from flat panels to LED modules for video walls, and now pure-play projector companies appear to be on the same path. […]
Guest Post: Mitch Leathers, SNA Displays For pedestrians, auto traffic, event-goers and other consumers, nothing turns heads and captures attention quite like digital signage. Mitch Leathers Dynamic and vivid LED displays prove superior at content delivery and message dissemination compared to traditional advertising tools such as printed posters, billboards and other types of static signage. […]
A couple of industry friends registered for DSE are on email lists for the show that included this one pushed out by Radius Displays, one of the companies behind the highly-ambitious, terribly ill-considered robotic Coca-Cola LED display in Times Square. The launch videos and photos of that kinetic LED sign for Coca-Cola in Times Square look amazing, but the thing has been a technical mess. […]
I’ll be out next week with a report on fine pixel pitch LED, with the key assertion that this tech will grow very, very common in parts of the world other than China and Hong Kong, where it is already everywhere. Here’s a good precursor to what’s coming – a fine pitch surround on an ATM in a commuter rail station. […]
One of my favorite big screen creative shops, New York’s ESI Design, has started talking about another stunning piece of work – a 23-foot-tall fine pitch LED feature display in the lobby of a Chicago office block that “paints” videos of familiar local scenes in an Impressionist style. […]
Atlanta-based LED display company NanoLumens has added an art streaming platform called Loupe to its AWARE third-party app store, making it possible for end-users to populate their digital display installations with curated portfolios of photography and artwork collections. […]
Were there any doubts about LED displays coming down in cost to a point that they’ll go from expensive one-offs to commonplace, consider the story of Chicken Charlie’s, a San Diego concession stand that has good-sized, finer pitch LED displays that fire up when it sets up in places like county fairgrounds. […]
Samsung confirmed rumors today and announced a massive, modular MicroLED TV called The Wall. The easiest way to think of it is a fine pitch LED wall for the consumer market. The announced configuration for CES this week is 146-inches diagonal, but it is positioned as something that can be made bigger, smaller or a different shape, by adding or removing modules. […]
The Aon Center, one of Chicago’s tallest and most recognizable buildings, has followed the lead of some other major commercial office properties in turning a feature in the lobby to a giant LED digital wall. Part of a recent renovation of its lobby and atrium included a pair of 42-foot-wide by 10-foot-tall direct view LED walls running custom-designed motion graphics and video content. […]
Numerous tech blogs are reporting that LG will be showing an 8K OLED display this year at CES. The 88-inch display has a resolution of 7680×4320, which is 33 million+ pixels. “The successful development of the world’s first 8K OLED display is a milestone for the 8K era and underscores the exciting potential of OLED,” says In-Byung Kang, Executive VP and CTO at LG Display. […]
Last night, on a very frigid New Year’s Eve, the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, Canada officially switched on a three-storey signature LED display called the Kipnes Lantern. It is the largest transparent LED screen in North America and fills the windows of the newly rejuvenated building in the capital city. […]
This is a nice pair of 20 by 8 foot fine pitch LED screens that have been lit up in the lobby of 55 Water Street, in the Wall Street district of Lower Manhattan. The total resolution on the screens is 6,400 by 1,260 pixels, which I assume means each of them is 3,200 by 1,260 pixels. I know, amazing math skills. […]
I’m working with a UK company on formal awards – and at some point I might actually have time to review the entries (there are numerous judges) – but I have my own thoughts on what impressed me in the past year. […]
Hat Tip Tom McGowan … This is about a year old but the first I’ve seen of an interesting car launch promo – tied in with a music video – that uses almost 42,000 hand-applied programmable LEDs to light up a Lexus luxury sedan. Three distinct modes, says a press release, allow the LIT IS to interact with sounds and people in its vicinity. […]
