Overview

SNA Displays manufactured this LED mosaic as part of the newly constructed Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital on the campus of Ohio State University. The hospital and its state-of-the-art LED display is part of the campus’ Wexner Medical Center.

The art deco-style digital display consists of 15 LED display units built with 6 mm BOLD™ Interior video display product, creating a mosaic that complements other interior architecture of the hospital unit.

Goals

The custom display was intended to serve as a donor recognition wall for the hospital.

Process

Each of the 15 displays employs surface-mount device (SMD) technology, allowing for crisp, clear imagery and a widened viewing experience. In addition, all displays have a 6 mm pixel pitch to allow for walk-up viewing.

All displays are 32 pixels high and range from 160 pixels to 448 pixels wide. There are 140,288 physical pixels in the installation, but because the "empty" spaces in the content are also rendered, the display system processes more than 400,000 pixels.

SNA Displays custom-designed and fabricated cabinets for each unit to match components of the interior architecture, and each is finished with a clear, anodized look.

Additional Information

"These displays complement the new state-of-the art facilities at the hospital. A dynamic and changeable donor recognition wall will be a great asset to the hospital, in terms of ease of use as well as look and feel." - SNA Displays representative.
