“Micro LED technology is set to define the future of display innovation. From the luxury industry to hospitality and travel, the potential of Micro LED is endless in enabling businesses to achieve more,” said Hyesung Ha, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “ISE is the largest show of its kind in the world and we are excited to unveil our expanded lineup of The Wall. The next-generation technology of The Wall will deliver benefits beyond expectations, transforming any business and unlocking new opportunities.”

2022 The Wall – Introducing the Slimmest Ever Pixel Pitch

At ISE this year, Samsung will unveil its 2022 model of The Wall (Model name: IWB) – an innovative modular Micro LED display that delivers immersive viewing experiences in a high-resolution, large screen format. The IWB will be available in 0.63 and 0.94pixel pitches, with 0.63 being the slimmest ever pixel pitch in The Wall lineup. The new display is now available to preorder globally.

The micro pitch feature of the IWB demonstrates Samsung’s most detailed picture and dynamic range expansion with the screen’s 120Hz frame rate, HDR10/10+ and LED HDR. Following installation, The Wall provides a variety of screen sizes, accommodating 4K movies for 110-inch and up to incredible 8K quality for 220-inch to meet any consumer or business needs. This resolution capability is enhanced by the powerful Micro AI (Artificial Intelligence) Processor, which analyzes every second of content instantly and optimises picture quality while removing noise.

The overall size of the cabinets has been increased, allowing businesses and consumers to install only four cabinets to configure the UHD screen, meaning faster and more cost-efficient operation. The display’s improved cabinet strengthens the large, high-resolution screens and improves the mechanical quality for immersive viewing while enhancing seam adjustment. In fact, the installation time has been reduced offering significant benefits to businesses compared to conventional LED signage.

The Wall is also packed with industry-leading technology. Firstly, with Multi View, The Wall enables simultaneous multi-source playback from up to four sources, all on one screen, without any additional splitter required for dynamic content display. Secondly, Black Seal Technology built into the display creates a seamless canvas for purer black levels, with an ultra-low reflective film that has been applied to minimize external light reflection. Plus, with 20-bit processing, The Wall delivers outstanding image quality and a smooth viewing experience, supported by a peak of 2,000 nits providing clearer images.

The Wall All-in-One – Innovative and Convenient Installation

Also being unveiled in Barcelona this year, is The Wall All-in-One (Model name: IAB) available in three different models: 4K 146-inch, 2K 146-inch and 2K 110-inch. This incredible, next generation display brings innovation to the installation, not just the viewing experience. The standard resolution of The Wall All-in-One is a 16:9 form factor. The product, which is only sold by screen, will be available globally following ISE 2022.

The most innovative feature of The Wall All-in-One is the convenient installation that features a pre-adjusted seam and a ‘Pre-Assembled Frame Kit.’ This kit, which makes the whole process simple as a consumer TV, includes the 16:9 form factor display’s internalized deco bezel and an embedded media player S-box, also lowering the total cost of ownership.

The Wall All-in-One offers a sleek design with display thinness of just 49mm, which is ultimately 59mm in total installation when measured from wall to screen. This slim, bezel-less infinity design provides a direct input connection on the screen without a separate device – creating a clean and convenient setup.

Additionally, together with 20-bit processing, Black Seal technology and Micro AI Processor, two 4K 146-inch screens can be installed side by side to create a 32:9 form factor model with a detachable feature creating an entire wall of outstanding image quality.

Versatile Display Lineup Adapting to a New Era – From EV Charging Station to Hybrid Classroom

Along with industry-leading Micro LED technology, Samsung is showcasing various new display products at ISE that will meet the constantly evolving needs of this new era. The new lineup will exemplify Samsung’s ongoing innovation in building solutions that include the likes of contactless communication and enhanced safety features.

Samsung’s latest 2022 outdoor line-up (Model Name: OHA 55’’, 75’’) has been verified for outdoor visibility by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), while the slim composition enables easy installation and long-term performance through certified IP56-rated protection. With its durable and high-performing hardware, the OHA can perform in a variety of conditions. One use case is electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, which are increasing in demand as the sales of electric vehicles continue to rise worldwide.

In education, Samsung continues to deliver hybrid learning experiences with its innovative product and solutions. The new 2022 Samsung Flip Pro (Model Name: WMB), available in two large 75- and 85-inch models, is an interactive whiteboard that can provide both teachers and students, with enhanced usability and specialised features to meet ever-changing education needs.

Samsung Flip Pro’s newly added USB Type-C connectivity provides integrated video control and power (65W charging), while industry-leading touch latency and multi touch features allow simultaneous collaboration for up to 20 people^[1]. The newly added intuitive control panel, brightness control sensors, and the four front- and rear-facing speakers enhance the overall classroom experience and enable seamless video communication in a remote or hybrid classroom environment.

Through this partnership, Samsung will supply its state-of-the-art display technology, The Wall, to CJ ENM’s virtual studio, a part of its television and film production studio complex scheduled to open in Paju, Korea later this year. The custom virtual production volume studio will be the first in the world to leverage The Wall’s boundless LED technology, unlocking new possibilities for video content production operations and virtual production solutions. The main display will be installed in an oval shape with a diameter of 20 metres and a height of seven metres or more, creating a seemingly endless backdrop to capture content.

“We are excited to collaborate with CJ ENM to build a virtual production studio featuring Samsung’s most cutting-edge display technologies,” said Jong-hee Han, President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “With this partnership, Samsung is launching a new virtual production industry initiative with a commitment to deliver innovative products and solutions that offer the optimal environment for next-generation content production.”

This virtual production studio will use LED displays and connected cameras to create virtual settings in real-time. This solution will save time and reduce image compositing and on-location production costs while helping filmmakers to see the camera on the live-action set in any direction.

The Wall’s modular technology allows creators to design environments to their specific requirements, enabling a variety of installation options such as ceiling installation and convex or concave design, depending on the internal studio design.

The 2021 model of The Wall (Model Name: IWA) with MICRO LED technology enhances visual expression with ultra-deep blacks and wide viewing angles, giving filmmakers and content creators the ultimate canvas to fulfill their visions. The modular screens are ideal for studios thanks to their precise color expression, HDR10+ and cinema LED picture quality technology and optimised frame rates for production houses. A new molding process is also applied to the modular surfaces of The Wall to minimise any moiré patterns from forming, a nuisance typically associated with filming standard LED screens.

The Wall’s massive screen measures over 1,000 inches, producing vibrant colors and details supporting up to 16K high-resolution[1] content. Dedicated frame rates for studio production, a new addition to this year’s model, allows producers to run content at frame rates such as 23.976, 29.97 and 59.94Hz, ensuring seamless videos sync with the most widely used camera framerates. Frame Rate Sync technology further reduces screen disruptions for true-to-life accuracy. With thoughtful dust and contamination-resistant LED protective films, plus a variety of easy-to-use solutions, such as remote management and colour adjustment, The Wall is built for convenient management in any environment.

Both companies expect this collaboration to improve content production possibilities while satisfying a variety of customers by reimagining content production for today’s fast-paced entertainment environment.

“Combining CJ ENM’s globally recognised content production of television series and films and Samsung’s cutting-edge Micro LED technology, this partnership will allow CJ ENM to push forward the creation of a new powerhouse of the next-generation content,” said Ho-sung Kang, CJ ENM CEO. “While CJ ENM is investing $4.4 billion over the next five years in entertainment content, we are taking the lead in building a global No. 1 production studio to become a world leading entertainment company.”

LONDON, England – 24 May, 2021 – Racing fans can now discover a full-motion driving simulator exclusively at the Samsung KX experience space in Coal Drops Yard. The combination of AXSIM’s Formula Simulator paired with The Wall Biz, the 1.2m pixel new luxury and super-sized bespoke Samsung display, delivers an unbeatable esports experience.

Guests can fully immerse themselves in the action by testing out the patented g-cueing technology which simulates the g-forces felt in real-life racing. Initially developed for training fighter jet pilots, it’s since been supplied to Formula 1 teams and professional drivers. Designed and built in the UK, the innovative simulator also offers a range of race circuits and car models used for professional driver training.

Professional British racing drivers including The Grand Tour test driver, Abbie Eaton and stunt driver Jessica Hawkins, were invited to set lap times on this new experience.

Driver Jessica Hawkins said, ‘I first came across this simulator at the beginning of 2019 and used it to prep for my season that same year. It’s without a doubt the best simulator I’ve ever used and I’m excited that guests from both in and outside of London can have the same experience.”

What’s more, those under the age of sixteen can use the Racing Experience in ‘passenger mode’, a pre-recorded simulation allowing them to be taken for the ultimate ride with a champion driver.

The Racing Experience is free to use and available to the public throughout opening hours at Samsung KX, London’s Coal Drops Yard. Height restrictions apply.

The project was the first time that a runway collection had been presented as a “visual concept album” and featured 13 iconic looks inspired by 13 iconic songs. The 13 stills and 13 explosive fashion film shorts were shot by globally renowned fashion image-maker Nick Knight, while an accompanying series of virtual landscapes were created by pioneering digital artist Jon Emmony. Featuring an incredible cast of artists, activists and change-makers from across the UK; from Musicians Rina Sawayama, to The Royal Ballet’s principal dancer Matthew Ball, it was a ground-breaking mix of fashion and entertainment.

To achieve maximum impact the project was shown in super-size using Samsung’s cutting-edge display solution The Wall.

“Featuring innovative technology, this immersive screen delivers awe-inspiring visual experiences at breath taking scale, with stunning detail, explains Damon Crowhurst, Head of Display at Samsung UK. “With pristine, precise colours, pin sharp clarity and slim, bezel-less design, this product was perfectly suited to fulfil Pugh’s unique vision, fulfilling the spatial and aesthetic needs of the project and delivering an impactful visual experience.”

“From the outset we hoped to create what might be described as ‘a digital fantasia,’ and so we sought out a collaboration with some of the world’s leading image makers and digital artists,” explains Gareth Pugh. “When it came to presenting this work to the public for the first time, it made perfect sense to also seek out world class technology to bring this all to life. The Wall was really the centrepiece of our exhibition, in that this was the first time we presented ‘The Reconstruction’ film content to the public, taking them on a journey from conception to completion — a portal through which to experience new worlds.”

Crucially, none of the looks created by Pugh are now for sale: instead they have been re-imagined via a jersey capsule collection designed in collaboration with emerging designer Melissa Mehrtens. This launched alongside the art project and are being sold online in exclusive partnership with HIT + RUN – a new online retail platform promoting a zero-waste model.

The project was an entirely non-profit venture, with all proceeds going to Refuge. Fundraising for the charity was driven by ticket sales to an accompanying live exhibition taking place at Christie’s London across London Fashion Week.
