case study deconstructed into four pieces, each measuring 62.5x500mm, in order for them to be then reconfigured into the perfect angled curve. Furthermore, the curved element didn’t require any special support structure inside, as Absen created bespoke curved LED elements which Asone then installed directly with the straight screen panels. As a result, the LED tower acts as a whole, connected and self-supporting entity. This is a first for Absen and LED manufacturers in general, as no other curved LED display product has demonstrated the ability to be manipulated in this way. Running the same video as used in the previous project, Shinsegae was surprised and extremely pleased with the greatly enhanced visual effect. A stunning display Boasting a 3.9mm pixel pitch and 140 degrees of horizontal viewing angle, a total of 360 Absen H3 LED panels were seamlessly integrated to form the showpiece display tower, with a total resolution of 2560x3840 pixels. Content to the display is managed and driven by NOVASTAR video servers and MCTR660 controllers. Absen H3 has proved to be the perfect choice for high-pressure retail and DOOH environments. All maintenance can be executed from the rear of the panel cabinet, cutting downtime in the event of servicing. Lightweight and thin, the H3 takes up to 80% less space than comparable products on the market, whilst offering the vivid colours and excellent contrast ratio expected from Absen. Virtually noise-free in its design (23.2dB), the Absen H3 also helps to optimise energy consumption, producing little heat, it requires no fan, which further improves quietness of operation. As Absen’s VAP partner, Asone worked closely with Absen on this project right from the planning stages. Designing the steel structure based on Absen’s input, Asone provided a fully signed off design for Shinsegae within a month. Following rigorous safety procedures, the freestanding tower installation was completed in just 15 days, while all ongoing maintenance will be managed by Asone. Shinsegae was extremely pleased with the end result and in particular with the greatly enhanced visual effect of the Goyang shopping mall tower. On completion of the of the new ultra-smooth video display installation, directors from Shinsegae enthused, “It is quite simply amazing!” n KIOSK solutions 17
