“Over the last 12 months we have experienced extraordinary interest from all types of commercial AV integrators who want to integrate NanoLumens displays into their system solutions,” NanoLumens President & CEO Rick Cope said today. “In order to maximize our management of this rapidly growing market, we will be introducing at INFOCOMM 2013 an expanded systems integration sales, education, and support program that is dedicated to meeting the needs of a select group of distributors, representing different market segments and geographic regions. To lead this effort, I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Rick Bortles to the newly created position of Vice President of Global Channel Sales.”

About NanoLumens:

Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, NanoLumens, Inc. (www.nanolumens.com) is a privately held corporation engaged in the research, product development, marketing and sales of unique flexible and fixed large-format LED display solutions in any size, shape, or curvature, that address a yawning technology gap in the $14 billion digital display industry. Since its founding in 2006, NanoLumens has built a portfolio of more than 20 international families of issued and filed patents on its flexible display technology that effectively address the commercial market void between relatively small flat-panel displays and huge, limited application LED boards. NanoLumens technology is not constrained by standard sizes and shapes, or by the weight, heat, noise and cost issues traditionally associated with commercial LED products.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, May 9, 2013 — New York City is known for being on the cutting edge of technology, design and culture, so it is ironic that the most notable feature of the city’s stock tickers is that they all look like 1970s alarm clocks, displaying single-color text on a plain black background. Today, a midtown Manhattan branch of a major financial institution set a new standard for information displays with the unveiling of the city’s first NanoLumens-powered stock ticker.

As the main technological attraction of the branch’s top-to-bottom renovation, the incredibly bright, full-color, 3-foot tall by 60-foot long L-shaped LED display is one of New York’s most dynamic, vibrant and unique stock tickers, according to Bill Shiverick of Atlanta-based Vertical AVTV, the AV integrator who recommended and installed the NanoLumens NanoSlim Design-Specific display.

“In Vertical AVTV’s 10-year relationship with this financial institution we’ve installed all types of audiovisual and television systems, but never anything quite like this,” Shiverick said. “As far as stock tickers and information displays go, there’s nothing else like this being used in New York City. But now that we’ve shown what a unique NanoLumens DS display can do for the ambience of a retail environment, I doubt it will be the last.”

A high-resolution stock ticker display was a vital element of the design of the branch’s new storefront, and the decision to use NanoLumens’ unique NanoSlim DS display technology was the result of an intense comparative analysis of three state-of-the-art LED display manufacturers. After Vertical AVTV and the client’s project management team evaluated the ease of installation, ease of maintenance, the brightness, weight, durability, life expectancy and total cost of ownership, they came to a decision to install the NanoLumens DS display.

“The truth is that the branch could have chosen a lower-cost alternative that may have served the purpose, but when we considered all the different variables and strengths of each manufacturer’s technology, NanoLumens was clearly the best choice,” Shiverick continued. “All you need to do is walk into the branch to see exactly what I mean. I’ve worked in hundreds of office buildings and corporate headquarters in a dozen of the biggest U.S. cities over the last 11 years, and I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Vertical AVTV has built a successful business installing and maintaining television delivery systems in hundreds of commercial office buildings across the country, and since 2006 has expanded its operations to include custom AV installations using the latest in display technologies. The company’s dedication to providing high-quality customer service, ongoing system maintenance and products that consistently exceed their clients’ expectations is evident in the fact that they have kept this particular financial institution as a client for more than a decade. In the crowded yet growing marketplace for custom AV installations, this stellar level of client satisfaction gives Vertical AVTV a leg up on the competition.

“With the new applications made possible by displays like the NanoLumens NanoSlim DS and NanoFlex DS lines, we are experiencing significant growth in the use of digital signage. We expect to see every retail environment, corporate lobby and public transportation space soon become home to a bold, unique digital signage system,” Shiverick added. “We at Vertical AVTV are growing to meet the market’s demands for innovative AV solutions, and NanoLumens’ one-of-a-kind technologies are helping us provide systems unlike anything our clients have seen before.”

NanoLumens’ NanoSlim DS Series is a bold departure from the traditional one-size-fits-all design paradigm that has been a mainstay of the display industry for decades. Available in 4mm, 5mm and 6mm pixel pitches, the NanoSlim DS Series allows customers to specify truly unique displays in their designs and open the door for corporations, retailers and venue operators to create a completely original digital experience.

NanoLumens displays are extremely slim, ultra-lightweight, energy efficient, and feature a bright, seamless, high resolution picture quality that can be viewed from any angle throughout the display horizon without color shift or image distortion. The company’s patented display technology promises to transform the way marketers engage their customers in every type of trade show, retail, hospitality, stadium, arena, transportation and public event environment.

All NanoLumens displays accept input from nearly any device or content management system. There is no need for special software, hardware or special personnel to display content beautifully. With a profile of only a few inches and operating with nearly zero heat or noise, the NanoSlim DS and NanoFlex DS series can be installed on virtually any surface without being obtrusive, adding the ‘WOW’ factor to any indoor or outdoor environment without taking up precious space.

NanoLumens’ technology has been named ‘Best Large-format LED Display’ of the year by Signage Solutions magazine in its 2012 Product of the Year awards program, as well as being recognized by Entrepreneur magazine as a 2011 future-proof tech trend and cited by The Wall Street Journal in its 2010 Technology Innovations Awards.  NanoLumens’ technology also received the 2011 Breakthrough Technology of the Year Award at the American Technology Awards.  Digital Signage Magazine awarded the NanoLumens NanoFlex a 2011 DIGI Award for “Best New Display Device – Non-LCD or Plasma.”

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, April 9, 2013 — When the Velma V. Morrison Center for the Performing Arts at Boise State University needed to install a digital display in its lobby to engage, inform and entertain patrons of the Center before, during and after shows, they knew they needed a state-of-the-art display solution that would shine as bright as the performers on stage. That’s why the Center decided to use a six-feet-tall by eleven-feet-wide, NanoLumens NanoSlim 4mm LED display that complements the existing lobby décor, while adding a subtle, yet modern, technological design element.

“The NanoLumens product is unique in the digital display market and we are excited to be their first installation in Idaho at a true performing arts center,” said Morrison Center Executive Director, James Patrick. “It is not only designed and assembled in the U.S.A., but is also ultra-lightweight, slim, and provides vibrant, high-resolution images from all viewing angles. This new addition to the Velma V. Morrison Center lobby is more than a marketing tool, it is a transformative display that will provide a digital canvas to communicate our mission to the Boise community.”

The new NanoLumens display will be used to share useful information to the Center’s patrons in a dynamic and flexible new way, resulting in a more enjoyable theatre-going experience. Content will include upcoming show promotions, artist video content, campus-wide events, student and faculty visual art, images of Boise’s picturesque landscape and other important campus-related information. To avoid mid-performance interruptions, the display will also alert patrons to take their seats as curtain time approaches, and the installation of a high-definition camera in the theatre will provide a closed-circuit, live feed of the show to the lobby display so that patrons arriving after curtain time can watch the show until they are allowed to enter the theatre auditorium.

“NanoLumens is proud to provide Boise State University and the Morrison Center with a state-of-the-art digital display that will stop patrons in their tracks the moment they walk into the lobby,” said NanoLumens President & CEO, Rick Cope. “Our displays are perfect for any facility wanting to instantly engage its visitors with a stunning digital canvas that can brilliantly display any content desired by the owner.”

The display was installed under the supervision of NanoLumens technicians by Superior Signs & Screenprinting located in Caldwell, Idaho, and the wiring and electrical work was completed by two Boise-based companies, Quality Electric and Neurilink LLC.

The display was funded, in full, by the Morrison Center Endowment Foundation, Inc. and is part of the Center’s ongoing efforts, in collaboration with University leadership, to ensure that the Center remains Idaho’s premier performing art center.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, March 6, 2013 — Cutting edge solutions providers tend to gravitate toward one another. Nowhere is this more evident than the upcoming convergence of social media titan Twitter and digital display pioneer NanoLumens® at SXSW Interactive (SXSWi). There, NanoSlim® DS and NanoFlex® displays will be used inside #FEED, powered by Twitter, to provide guests with an engaging offline experience that projects the reach and power of social media into the physical world. #FEED will launch with a private press event on March 8 at 7 p.m. at the Austin Museum of the Arts at 700 Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas.

Twitter has partnered with Learned Evolution for the second year in a row to throw a series of high-tech, high-energy @Night parties featuring performances by world class electronic DJs, AV artists, VJs and very special guests, as well as host yoga classes, bootcamps and spin classes during the day with live DJs.

According to Learned Evolution’s founder Justin Bolognino, NanoLumens and Twitter form a perfect symbiotic partnership. “For #FEED at South by Southwest Interactive 2013, Twitter asked us to come up with an even bigger, better and brighter high-tech, high-energy environment than last year,” Bolognino said. “I was so excited when I was introduced to NanoLumens because everything about their technology is representative of innovative, outside-the-box thinking, and Twitter knows a thing or two about innovation itself, so they come together perfectly to provide Twitter’s @Night party with an incredible crowd-commanding digital canvas.”

#FEED will feature a NanoLumens NanoSlim DS Tower display to provide sponsorship brand recognition images and videos, as well as a 112” NanoFlex display that will be central to the BioBeat’s “Pulse” app that transforms users heartbeats into music. Data visualizations of this amazing process will be displayed on the flexible 112” display.

Josh Byrd, Director of Marketing at NanoLumens, knows the NanoSlim and NanoFlex displays are going to be a hit at SXSWi. “South by Southwest Interactive is the mecca for forward-thinking technology innovation, so what better place is there to showcase NanoLumens’ one-of-a-kind display technology? We are honored to work with Twitter and Learned Evolution on #FEED this year to give attendees an experience they won’t soon forget.”

#FEED’s @NIGHT parties will transform the venue into a nightclub starting at 9:00 PM on March 8-13 with five high-tech, high-energy parties featuring performances by world class electronic DJs, AV artists, VJs and very special guests.

NanoLumens technology is not constrained by standard sizes and shapes, or by the weight, heat, noise and cost issues traditionally associated with commercial LED products.

The NanoFlex DS and NanoSlim DS Series remove all of the limits. Previously, digital displays were confined to squares and rectangles, which simply aren’t always the most effective solution. No environment is the same, no customer is the same, so why should every display be the same?

These questions are what started our internal drive to dreaming big. Our Design and Engineering Teams began taking cues from our Sales Team’s feedback from our customers who need the ability to create extraordinary environments with digital display technology. Through various collaborations, we discovered that the flexibility of our ground-breaking NanoFlex display was not always enough… so we upped the ante and pushed deeper to develop our Design Specific Series.

While all of this creativity is fun for us here at the NanoLumens Headquarters, what exactly does it mean for you, the end user?

First off, the Design Specific Series’ allows you to specify truly unique displays in your design and opens the door to create a completely original digital experience. If you can dream it, we can build it.

Secondly, our visionary team will work with you to ensure that you are getting the best display for your space. We recently worked with Sensory Technologies to create a unique 5-foot tall by 13-foot long digital display in the shape of the letters USA; and the feedback from Andrea Nicholson, the Business Development Manager at Sensory Technologies was all the confirmation needed to know we are onto something great! To hear what Nicholson and other clients are saying, make sure to check out our testimonials page.
