2/11/2026
At ISE 2026, Samsung showcased display solutions that tackle one of the biggest challenges facing commercial environments today: balancing visual impact with the practical demands of real-world business environments.
🔺 Samsung’s showcase welcomes a crowd of visitors on the first day of ISE 2026
Samsung showcased its solutions across an expansive 1,728 sqm exhibition space, welcoming 92,170 visitors throughout the four-day event. The booth featured ten product zones demonstrating how Samsung’s display portfolio supports retail, corporate, hotel, education, and hybrid commercial environments.

🔺 A record-breaking year at ISE 2026: Samsung’s commercial display solutions received multiple top industry honors
Retail: Display Solutions Designed for Inside and Out
In retail environments, Samsung’s display solutions are built to perform across different sightlines, lighting conditions, and store layouts.
At the show, Samsung brings this performance to life by showcasing the IBF series LED display in a 142-inch configuration for window-facing applications.
🔺 The LED display IBF model showcases bright visuals from a window
Designed for highly bright environments, the display reaches 3,500 nits of brightness to deliver clear advertising content to the public while maintaining a clean, visually unobtrusive presence inside the store. The slim 42mm profile and clean-back design showed how the display can blend naturally into open storefronts, while flexible installation options support a wide range of layouts, including flat, L-type, convex, concave and window-facing setups.
🔺 Two 109-inch IEF screens frame the Samsung booth entrance, stopping attendees with fine-pitch LED brilliance
The new IEF series indoor LED signage takes a different approach, optimized for retail environments where screens are viewed up close and details matter.
The IEF signage delivers 600-nit brightness with HDR10+ support, the display produces clear, consistent visuals across both bright and dark content, while Glue-on-Board (GoB) technology adds a protective layer to support long-term performance in high-traffic settings.
🔺 Samsung Color E-Paper lineup demonstrates how retailers can deploy low-power digital signage across every point of sale
Samsung Color E-Paper offers an impactful alternative to printed posters in day-to-day retail operations. At ISE 2026, Samsung showed how its 13-inch, 20-inch1, and 32-inch displays can work together within a single retail environment, using familiar proportions and formats that allow digital signage to sit naturally alongside printed materials and existing displays.
Across all sizes, Color E-Paper uses ultra-low power digital ink technology, consuming power only when content changes2. With the dedicated Samsung Color E-Paper app, retail associates can manage local content directly from their mobile devices, reducing the operational burden of frequent reprinting without disrupting the space’s look and feel.
🔺 Attendees share excitement as the 3D visuals appear to pop out of the 85-inch Spatial Signage
Samsung’s newly launched 85-inch Spatial Signage allows businesses to showcase products in high-traffic retail environments where space and aesthetics are equally important. With its patented 3D Plate Technology, Spatial Signage can display products and content in full 360-degree rotation, giving visitors a clear view of products from all angles.
🔺 Visitors experience the impact of 3D visuals with the 32-inch Spatial Signage
Smaller 55-inch and 32-inch formats arriving later this year will extend immersive 3D capability to smaller displays, and department-level retail environments.
At ISE 2026, Samsung Spatial Signage received broad industry recognition, earning honors across multiple categories including:
- Best of Show Awards from Future
- Digital Signage Award from Sector Projects Plus Limited and Sixteen:Nine
- Inavation Award for Technology from Inavate Magazine
- Top New Technologies (TNT) Awards from Commercial Integrator
These honors reflect a strong industry response to its immersive design and practical application across retail environments.
🔺  VXT’s AI Studio can turn static images into signage-ready video content with the click of a button
Designed to support a wide range of signage formats, Samsung VXT helps retailers to create, update, and distribute content across multiple screens from a single system.
Within Samsung VXT, AI Studio app3 enables teams to turn static images into signage-ready video content optimized for use across Samsung’s commercial display portfolio. Also, if you choose ‘Spatial Signage Optimization’ option, content created through VXT’s AI Studio App is automatically optimized with refined shadow detailing, adjusted margins and background treatments—creating more realistic and balanced visuals for Spatial Signage.
This approach was recognized at ISE 2026, where Samsung VXT’s AI Studio app received a Best of Show Award from Future in the Installation category.
