The newest addition to the series delivers the finest outdoor pitch by using MicroLED technology to enable a 1.2mm pitch while also achieving superior performance in an outdoor rated LED display.

The finest outdoor pixel pitch LED available, the Planar Luminate Ultra Series 1.2mm utilizes MicroLED technology to enhance the image with increased black levels and 150-degree visibility while a proprietary coating ensures outdoor ruggedness and enhanced high ambient light visual performance.
