Europe - Leyard Europe has announced the expansion of the popular DirectLight family with the DirectLight Slim Series. Launched at ISE 2025, the Made in Europe Series features an ultra-thin, narrow width form factor. The new fine pixel pitch MicroLED video wall display accommodates curved and space-constrained applications that benefit from its unique form factor, including control rooms, broadcast studios, virtual production, extended reality, simulation and training, research and more.
Offering an installation depth of less than two inches, the new DirectLight Slim Series is suitable for tightly curved video walls with the solution’s reduced width delivering minimal colour shift compared to other LED displays. The series is also well-suited for flat video walls in tight spaces because of its minimum depth and front serviceability. Models feature MicroLED technology and are available in 0.9, 1.2, 1.5 and 1.8mm pixel pitches with a maximum brightness of 1,600 nits and a unique 4:9 aspect ratio to support deployment versatility and vibrant viewing experiences.
The DirectLight Slim Series also introduces pixel-level monitoring, offering more detailed insight into display health and performance by allowing users to identify when service or repair is needed. In addition to further simplifying display management, this delivers a faster time to issue resolution.
“This expansion of the DirectLight family leverages our customers’ most popular features, while enhancing capabilities to support a broader set of needs and use cases,” says Robert Detwiler, senior director of product management and training at Planar. “From a significantly reduced installation depth and slim profile for fastening to higher brightness, reduced power consumption and advanced display performance monitoring, DirectLight Slim Series and DirectLight Pro Series deliver unmatched deployment and energy efficiency for visual performance that stuns and lasts.”
