The latest Star Wars move – The Last Jedi – has opened in cinemas all over, and Disney is working with Twitter on a live campaign today that’s running on digital OOH boards in New York and Toronto. […]
Chicago’s 150 Media Stream is a 127-foot long and 19-foot high permanent installation in the lobby of the new 150 North Riverside office building. It is comprised of 89 individual vertical LED displays or ‘blades’ creating a canvas of over 3,000 square feet. […]
Fine pitch LED displays tend to be fitted to the necessary display area – like a lobby or feature wall area that is some sort of rectangle. They’re sold by modules and all those modules tile together to create the necessary shape. So it’s interesting to see a company marketing a solution that is based on a set of fixed sizes and standardized cabinets and mounting systems. […]
This is the Oslo International Airport flagship store of the pharmacy chain Apotek 1, which is part of a big pharmaceutical trader in Europe. It’s probably the first time I’ve seen direct view LED used in a big way at a drug store – in this case a nine metres wide by three tall 3.9mm pitch digital archway. […]
My New York out of home industry friend spent about 15 minutes today in Times Square watching the monster 3D robotic Coca-Cola billboard, and reported back that it is still big, but it’s not robotic at all at the moment. The whole time he watched, no movements on the board. One LED module was out, and six others were intermittent. […]
A U.S. Army Medical Command facility built a waterfall in the Mojave Desert to create a soothing feature in the building’s lobby – but used LED displays instead of real water. […]
This is the lobby of the new home for the Creative Media Industries Institute (CMII) on the campus of Georgia State University, with the focal point a 34-foot wide trapezoidal curved LED display. The downtown Atlanta building is home to the university’s digital media and film industries studies. […]
One of my big takeaways from the trade show circuit earlier this year was my conclusion that transparent LED was starting to look really good. If you’re not with me on what that is, think LED displays that are a bit reminiscent of window blinds, with the LED lights on the louvers. […]
Barneys New York has developed a reputation for doing Christmas/Hanukkah season shop window displays that are well outside the holiday norm, and the retailer appears to have really gone for it this year with trippy windows developed by a pair of artist brothers. The 2017 holiday collaboration, Haas for the Holidays, was developed by Simon and Nikolai Haas. […]
The last interview and meeting I took on my recent trip to Asia, getting a crash course on the technology and manufacturers doing fine pitch LED, was with Deepsky. The LED display startup is based in Hong Kong, but has deep French roots, as you’ll be able to pick up easily in the accent of Antoine Doublet. He’s the Head of Global Sales for the company, but an engineer to the core. […]
If the video auto-plays, my apologies. I looked at the HTML and it didn’t give me any clues on how to shut that off! This is a new digital OOH advertising feature along the highway leading into Denver’s international airport, which is way, way, waaaaay east of the city. […]
I’ve seen a few companies at trade shows demo-ing LCD and LED ribbon displays intended for retail shelf edges, but can’t say I’ve seen any out in the real world. So it’s interesting to see this install – no word on whether this is a rollout or a one-shop demo – of a set of chiller fridges in a store equipped with LED shelf signs, marketing Arizona Dairy Farmers product. […]
Imagine, while sitting in the lobby waiting for your next meeting, three walls around you change, placing you in a cocaine manufacturing camp in the jungles of Colombia. Minutes later, they change again to drop you into a prison cafeteria in upper New York state. […]
The lion’s share of the buzz these days with LED displays is with the increasingly fine pitch modules that provide HD visuals even on outdoor jobs. But there’s a lot to be said for clever work that uses low-rez, anything but fine pitch, LED products to create a great visual experience. […]
With the qualifier that my knowledge of international patent disputes is right up there with my depth of understanding of trends in women’s footwear, this nonetheless seems interesting – a U.S. LED display tech company winning a patent dispute with a Chinese competitor. […]
