Physical retail is no longer just about shelf space and square footage. It’s about capturing attention, shaping behaviour and influencing decisions in real time.

Did you know that...

Nearly half of shoppers say digital displays influence their purchase decisions in-store.

Numerous studies show that up to 80% of customers are more likely to enter a store after seeing digital signage.

In other words, display technology is no longer decorative, it’s directly tied to footfall, dwell time and conversion.

Our retail solutions are designed around this reality. Every product in our retail portfolio exists to support visibility, clarity and engagement at key moments in the customer journey.


V-Poster: Driving Footfall and Immediate Engagement

V-Poster displays are often the first point of contact between a brand and a potential customer. Positioned in windows, entrances and high-traffic zones, they are designed to stop passers-by and draw them inside.

With digital signage proven to significantly increase store entry rates, our award-winning V-Poster enables retailers to:

  • Update messaging instantly based on time, promotion or campaign

  • Deliver motion-led content that outperforms static posters

  • Maintain brightness and clarity in challenging retail lighting conditions

For retailers, this translates into more eyes on the brand and more people through the door.

Our award winning V-poster highlights:

  • Ultra-mobile, lightweight design, allowing easy repositioning without specialist handling

  • Flexible mounting options including mobile floor, wall-mounted or hanging configurations to suit different retail layouts

  • Cloud-based CMS with plug-and-play deployment, enabling remote content management across single or multi-site estates

  • Multiple fine pixel pitch options (P1.25–P2.5) to balance viewing distance, resolution and cost

  • Integrated audio and optional 16-point touch, supporting interactive wayfinding and product engagement at the point of decision

  • GOB LED module technology for improved impact resistance and durability in high-footfall environments

  • Energy-efficient operation with versatile connectivity (HDMI, RJ45, Wi-Fi) for low-maintenance digital signage

What sets V-Poster apart is the combination of mobility, rapid deployment and centralised control, allowing retailers to adapt messaging by campaign, time of day or location, without the cost, waste or delay of printed signage. In a retail landscape where digital displays actively influence footfall and purchase decisions, V-Poster is a strategic communication platform, not just a screen.

VIVID: Influencing Decisions at the Point of Consideration

Once customers are inside the store, visual quality becomes critical. VIVID displays are engineered for environments where colour accuracy, contrast and detail directly impact perception.

As nearly half of shoppers acknowledge that digital displays influence their buying decisions, VIVID plays a key role in:

  • Highlighting featured products and promotions

  • Supporting premium brand storytelling

  • Delivering consistent colour and brightness across large retail spaces

This is where LED moves from attraction to conversion support.

Award-winning VIVID highlights:

  • MicroLED fine pixel pitches down to P0.75 for exceptional detail and smooth visuals

  • HDR capability and DCI-P3 colour gamut compliance, bringing rich, accurate colour to life

  • Up to 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio for deep blacks and vibrant highlights

  • High refresh rates (up to 120 Hz) for fluid motion and smooth video playback

  • Ultra-slim, low-profile design (28 mm) that integrates cleanly into modern retail environments

  • Superior thermal performance and energy efficiency (up to ~40 % energy savings vs traditional LED displays)

  • VIVID Connect option, simplifying setup with direct HDMI connectivity and eliminating the need for external controllers

Shelf Edge: Real-Time Information Where Decisions Are Made

Shelf edge displays address the most decisive moment in retail…the point of purchase. By replacing static labels with dynamic digital information, retailers can communicate pricing, offers and product information accurately and instantly.

Beyond visual appeal, shelf edge solutions deliver:

  • Centralised pricing control

  • Reduced operational overhead

  • Greater shopper confidence through accurate, real-time data

It’s a practical application of digital signage that supports both customer experience and operational efficiency.

Shelf Edge highlights:

  • Ultra-fine pixel pitches (from P0.9375 to P2) delivering broadcast-quality clarity that makes product content and pricing highly legible—even at close range.

  • COB/GOB module options for impact resistance and durability in high-footfall retail environments.

  • Lightweight, front-serviceable design for rapid installation and maintenance without disrupting head-end merchandising.

  • Seamless installation and 24/7 reliability, engineered for continuous operation across multiple bays or zones.

  • Cloud-connected control for instant updates, campaign roll-outs and content management across single or multi-site deployments.

  • Consistent brightness and wide viewing angles (~160°) that ensure clarity from every position on the retail floor.

  • Standard refresh rates (3840 Hz+) for flicker-free performance in live environments and for camera capture.

GEMINI: One Display, Two Retail Experiences

GEMINI is a lightweight, ultra-slim dual-sided LED display designed for retail environments where content needs to work in two directions at once. It’s ideally suited to shopfronts, atriums and high-footfall zones, with one side facing outward to attract passing customers and the other facing inward to support in-store messaging.

GEMINI enables retailers to:

  • Run daylight-optimised content externally to drive footfall and visibility from outside the store

  • Deliver tailored in-store messaging internally, supporting promotions, brand storytelling or wayfinding

  • Maximise impact without doubling infrastructure, using a single, lightweight display instead of two separate screens

GEMINI Highlights:

  • True dual-sided displays in one ultra-slim cabinet, reducing weight, structure and installation time compared with two separate screens

  • Independent content and power per side, enabling different messaging or mirrored content simultaneously

  • Adjustable brightness per side, optimised for indoor or outdoor light conditions to maintain visibility and clarity

  • Mixable pixel pitches on each side to suit varied viewing distances and ambient light levels

  • 500 mm×500 mm modular panels with symmetric 1:1 aspect ratio for clean, design-led integration

  • High refresh rates and low latency for smooth video playback and live content

  • Energy-efficient operation with rich colour and greyscale depth for compelling visual performance in retail settings
