While many in the commercial integration community might not know a lot about NanoLumens now, it seems like its unique video display solution is on the cusp of being far more prominent.

NanoLumens’ flexible LED display can be described as a “digital canvas” or “digital wallpaper,” said CEO Rick Cope during a recent interview with Commercial Integrator.

Now, integrators will be able to implement the technology in more widespread fashion thanks to the announcement that Almo Pro AV has been named the exclusive national distributor for NanoLumens.

Almo Pro AV resellers will have access to the full product lineup, which includes:

The NanoFlex Family: Designed to curve around contoured walls, wrap around columns and create unique architectural accents. This line includes the NanoFlex 112, NanoFlex Column Wrap and NanoFlex Ribbon.

The New NanoSlim Family:Designed to provide a sleek display for discerning applications, this line consists of thin, lightweight, large-format LED displays. NanoSlim displays are built to four standard sizes and are water-, dust- and impact-resistant.

The New NanoShapes Family: Built on the NanoSlim platform, NanoShapes are created in circle, triangle and square shapes.

The NanoPanels Family:Addresses the need for a slim, lightweight, eco-friendly and brilliant indoor/outdoor display capable of withstanding the elements and shining through tough ambient light situations. This family comes in 25 x 25-inch panels that can be connected to form any size display.

Integrators can get a better look at NanoLumens’ offerings at the upcoming Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas, where Almo and NanoLumens will both be showcased in each other’s booths.

For an additional look, check out the video below:

Cope, a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corp., came across the technology in 2006 while judging a technology innovation contest. A Canadian professor entered the contest with a thumbnail-sized piece of material, Cope recalled. “He thought it would be great for making laptops.”

However, Cope knew that in the broadcasting industry where his wife worked, there was demand for some sort of digital display solution that is “lightweight, something really thin that can be hung anywhere without a lot of infrastructure, something that can be any shape or size, not bound by rectangles, something efficient with less heat that’s easy to use and flexible.”
