Imagine a digital screen that is as thin and flexible as a piece of tape, allowing you to wrap it around any shape. Instead of heavy, rigid panels, this technology puts lights on a foil that can be scaled to any size. It works like a giant, lightweight sticker that turns any surface into a high-quality video display.
Current digital displays are often too heavy, rigid, and power-hungry, making them difficult to install on curved surfaces or in weight-sensitive environments like aircraft.
An ultra-thin, flexible LED video foil (ledTec.flex) including a P8 version for DOOH and a P5 high-resolution beta demonstrator.
If you are a DOOH provider dealing with high energy costs and rigid installation limits — this project developed a light-guarding LED foil that uses almost half the power of standard technology. This allows for faster deployment of large-scale displays, such as the 70 m² wall realized in Düsseldorf.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with heavy, bulky interior lighting that lacks dynamic content — this project developed ledTec.flex, an ultra-lightweight video foil. It enables dynamic ambient lighting in planes, trains, and cars without adding significant weight.
If you are an equipment provider dealing with the need for specialized medical illumination in tight spaces — this project developed a malleable, flat, and scalable LED film. This allows for high-quality lighting integrated directly into healthcare environments.
Based on available project data, the light guarding technology allows DOOH displays to operate at almost half the power compared to state-of-the-art technology, directly reducing energy costs.
Yes, the technology is described as endless scalable in size and has already been used to create a 70 m² LED wall in Düsseldorf.
Based on available project data, the project was led by LightnTec GmbH, but specific patent or licensing terms are not detailed in the report.
The product is ultra-thin, flexible, and lightweight, making it easy to install on various surfaces, including those with curvature, both indoors and outdoors.
The project ran from 2023 to 2024, with a beta phase demonstrator for the P5 product and a released improved version of the P8 product.
The project is managed by a single-partner consortium consisting of LightnTec GmbH, a German SME. With a 100% industry ratio, the focus is entirely on commercialization and market entry rather than academic research, utilizing a total EU contribution of EUR 1,703,625 to accelerate product release.
