Partnering with DIRTT Environmental Solutions, a provider of customized pre-fabricated interiors, NanoLumens installed the first NanoSlim Engage 1.8-mm display into a DIRTT custom-designed wall in Chicago's Green Learning Center, according to a press release from NanoLumens.

Used to host DIRTT events for current and prospective clients, the LED display in the GLC is used to demo the company's proprietary ICE software, show PowerPoint presentations, showcase marketing materials and provide entertainment through the connected Apple TV. NanoLumens is a manufacturer and marketer of indoor and outdoor LED displays.

"DIRTT is committed to going beyond the conventional when it comes to offering their corporate clients interior design solutions that combine cutting edge technology with cost-effective, easy-to-install and maintain interiors," said Dan Rossborough, director of strategic projects for NanoLumens. "They knew that, from a visual perspective, the era of LCD video walls was over.  The future belongs to fine pitch LED solutions, if a way could be found to integrate them into DIRTT's interior wall design.  NanoLumens provided the answer with its 1.8MM NanoSlim Engage display that eliminates all of the objections long associated with LCD video walls."

The solution was designed to fit in the wall's tight opening, making the 12.5-foot by 6.3-foot display appear to be a part of the physical wall rather than a screen set inside, the release said. It occupies a space where a 2-foot by 4-foot LCD video wall matrix previously was positioned.

The alliance between DIRTT and NanoLumens began with the Chicago GLC installation. The companies are working to integrate fine-pitch LED solutions in additional GLCs around the world, according to the release.

"This relationship is really going to advance the notion for the design community, showing that digital wallpaper can be a commercial reality in any environment," Rossborough said. "Together, NanoLumens and DIRTT have proven that you can make fine-pitch LED displays a practical solution when you really want to create a 'wow' factor in a work environment. We're looking forward to continuing to work with DIRTT in the future."
