Context / environment
For the renovation of their HQ store on 122 Fifth Avenue in New York City. Barnes & Noble was working on prototyping Transparent LED for the entire storefront.
Miguel Sal & Co approched Street Co’ in order to be introduced
to one of the latest transparent LED display innovations and receive help in finding the best product to fit the newly designed store windows storefront for their client Barnes & Noble’s.
We teamed up with one of the best brand consultants as they know Barnes & Nobles better than anyone else – Their philosophy is refined and completely dedicated to the top end innovation and design. So they understood the benefit of using Transparent LED display to turn Barnes&Nobles windows into a fantastic LED display screen running 24 hours to display great inspiring content to the New Yorkers.
Miguel Sal & Co were inspired by a project recently created by Street Co’s team of experienced engineers and designers for Primark in Madrid.
The store we are talking about is located on 5th Avenue in New York, one of the most prestigious avenues in the world. This store is one of the most important of the brands, by this major location. Thousands of people pass by this store every day, and they wanted an innovative way to attract and welcome them in.
If any brand located on the 5th avenue had 200 sqm of window facade turned them into a transparent LED display screen which lit up the night time with great content and let through natural light during the day time, they would have a guaranteed success both visually and financially.
In fact, the retailer can then expose the products that they sell in the shop, making sure the brand is paying extra money to show his product on the 5th avenue.
Our architects and engineers imagined and designed several LED panels that would fit perfectly in the showcase without filling the whole space, just enough to reclaim the store’s facade and attract people’s attention. New York is filled with screens and billboards on every corner, especially on this main Avenue, so, in order to stand out, we, at Street Communication, decided to use the latest transparent LED displays technologies that are innovative, original, and eye-catching. Getting noticed in an elegant and sophisticated way. This medium associates beauty, clarity and functionality.

Solution : transparent facade window LED
Street Co’ has been appointed as the technical partner to supply a solution with a customized-transparent adhesive LED display turnkey solution.
The transparent LED will be hung or stuck behind the glass window, the super light weight of the screen wouldn’t add too much to the load from the glass window.
The client shared CAD drawings of the floor plan and the main objective was to use LED display to embellish and present the product while letting the light come in.
Through specially designed solid glue, the whole display unit is integrated into an optical lens baseboard, with a minimum thickness of less than 1mm-3mm.
The major advantage of our adhesive LED Display is its lightweight, thinness, high permeation ratio and its ease of installation.
Our adhesive LED Display product series adopts our self-developed bare die chip driver IC and a light-emitting chip that uses micron-grade light source. We install components on the PCB board with high transparent rate. Through specially designed solid glue, the whole display unit is integrated into an optical lens baseboard, with a minimum thickness of less than 1mm-3mm.
We have designed a solution using a transparent adhesive LED screen with Pitch 6mm with less than 3kg / sqm – 6mm pitch enables you to display enough density of pixel for the special HD and futuristic content.
Each cabinet would be able to work independently and would have its own power supply and receiving cards.
The cabinet was specially designed for this customer taking into account the sizing the glass window of the stand.
