NanoLumens, the Atlanta-headquartered manufacturer of LED displays, today announced the introduction of the NanoLumens Outdoor Gallery Series – the company calls it "the world's first true curved, outdoor LED solution that can be built in any size, shape or curvature in pixel pitches ranging from 4 mm to 9 mm."

"More than 80 percent of the outdoor LED displays that are installed every year in the United States are 10-mm pixel pitch or greater, yet NanoLumens primarily sells solutions that feature much smaller and finer pixel pitches," NanoLumens Director of Research and Development Robert Cross said in the announcement. "The new Outdoor GallerySeries reinforces our ability to exceed industry expectations in every display category by offering outdoor solutions featuring pixel pitches ranging from 4 mm to 9 mm for close proximity viewing. We are proud to bring this first-of-its kind solution to market."

First seen in the American Airlines Arena in Miami, the company said the Outdoor Gallery Series is engineered to perform optimally in all types of outdoor environments. The six Outdoor Gallery Series solutions that were installed in South Florida were built for a "salt fog" environment, where each display can withstand the corrosive ocean air, operate in temperatures up to 122 degrees Fahrenheit and in wind speeds exceeding 186 miles per hour, the company said. Although not every Outdoor Gallery Series solution will require such extreme features, NanoLumens said its expert team of engineers can alter the configuration of each Outdoor Gallery Series solution to meet a specific environment. Within the American Airlines Arena's Xfinity East Plaza project, the NanoLumens Outdoor Gallery Series was recognized by Installation International Magazine as a 2016 InstallAwards Star Product finalist in the entertainment category, the company said.

According to the announcement, the high brightness of the Outdoor Gallery Series solution offers viewers a clear, vivid picture at any time of day. "If you've ever looked at a smartphone screen on a sunny day, you've most likely had to move to the shade to see any content," Cross said. "The NanoLumens LED solution has best-in-class brightness, making it suitable for the most demanding environmental conditions."

According to Cross, the majority of outdoor display products are intended for long distance viewing, like something that might be seen on a billboard or way up high on a building. "By reducing our pixel pitch to 4 mm to 9 mm, we're able to bring the display closer to the viewer, so they can interact with it with more intimacy. For example, the Outdoor Gallery Series is perfect for outdoor gathering areas, sports arena mezzanines or transportation depots where the display is exposed to a wide gamut of conditions, and people are very close to the signage."

NanoLumens said the new Outdoor Gallery Series can be tailored in any size, shape or curvature to meet each customer's specific set of requirements.

All NanoLumens displays accept input from nearly any device or content management system, the company said, so there is no need for special software, hardware or special personnel to display content. And every NanoLumens visualization solution comes backed by a six-year, "Nixel to Pixel" warranty.
