Client
Incheon International Airport (IIA) is the largest airport in South Korea, the primary airport serving the Seoul Capital Area, and one of the largest and busiest airports in the region. It has been rated as one of the world’s cleanest airports and highly-rated by Skytrax together with other international transit airports, such as Singapore Changi Airport and Tokyo Haneda Airport.
Context / environment
For the counter of the main information desk at IIA.
the architectural side of the building.
The client = shared CADdrawings of the floor plan and the main objective was to use LED displays to embellish and improve the space of the information desk.
We had to propose several designs using Flexible LED displays to fit perfectly with the unconventional and fresh design of the Airport.
The client won’t advertise anything on the column and will use this medium as a pure design-element to embellish the airport.
Solution
When working with LED mesh the density of the array can impact a lot of the product and help save $ especially when the LED screen is not 100% compulsory for the project.
Street Co’ has provided options that will be presented within a Price matrix tab where the client will have a clear idea of what they are buying and for what price:
- Resolution of the screen
- LED lamps brand
- Driver IC
- Scan rate and grayscale
- Density of pixel
- Pitch
- Range of the product: Eco / Standard / Premium
- Lifetime
- Type of connection between LED lamp brand and PCB board of the screen Golden / Wire / silver
- AND PRICE
That has helped customers to have a better vision of what they will be buying.
We started with:
- Consultation / Brainstorming to find the best-suited hardware that fit both budget and end-customer requirements with several options as mentioned above
- Price matric showing: Pitch, Resolution, diameters options, quantity, Price and result
- Prototype stage to show customers an example of the end result.
- Detail execution plan with AutoCAD and DWG drawings
- Engineering of the installation
- Logistic, transportation and planning
- On-site installation
- Programming

Challenge
We ran into many challenges:
The structural fixture system was a REAL challenge, we also had to stick more than 262 LED strips precisely 40mm from each other. The installation of the power supplies was also a challenge.
The LEDs are connected through HDMI to a desktop hidden in the control. We set up an automation system for every time the PC had to start-up so that the display software would run automatically and light up accordingly.
Impact
The design of the lighting system brings light, design and a digital touch to this information desk and fits perfectly within the environment.
The unconventional shape of the LED display fits perfectly in the space. The video content displayed is very colourful and includes details which help contribute to the young and dynamic image to the airport.
