Planar Mosaic Architectural Displays

Planar Mosaic is the only video wall system that allows designers to integrate three different LCD tile sizes and shapes—including a truly square LCD tile measuring 21.6 inches on the diagonal. The Planar® Salvador™ is a trend-setting 1:1 aspect ratio tile measuring 15.6 inches / 39.5 cm on each side, that allows for creative installation and is akin to the shape of other building materials. The Planar® Vincent™ (48 inches / 122 cm wide) and the Planar® Pablo™ (40 inches / 103 cm wide) are both rectangular LCD tiles. Using the proprietary Mosaic Ensemble™ package of hardware and software, the tiles can be rotated at virtually any angle and mounted in any position, encouraging designers to experiment with negative space while extending project budgets.

The Planar Mosaic video wall system features energy-saving LED backlit displays, consuming less energy than traditional LCD displays. The video tiles boast a slim installation depth of less than 4 inches (10.16 cm), which is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

 

Planar Debuts Zero-Bezel LCD Displays

Today Planar is announcing what it’s claiming as the industry’s first infinity, zero bezel 60″, 70″ and 80” family of LCD displays, configured for multiple solutions within digital signage applications. Saying they were engineered from the ground up to be the digital signage displays for large format LCD needs, Planar says its UltraLux Series are all ADA compliant for indoor advertising, retail/corporate brand communications and large format way-finding applications. They really aren’t totally bezel-less, but they do have the smallest bezel of any commercial LCD we’ve seen so far.

Every model is native 1080p, less than 3″ deep and have a hinged mount and kickstand design to provide easy tilt-out access to electronics modules on the back. Each one features an edge-to-edge layer of Planar ERO glass that gives the display the appearance of having an “infinity edge” and protects it in high-traffic areas.
