NanoBar

When Ben & Jerry’s decided to open its very first retail location in Japan, they wanted to open an innovative store, complete with the company’s first digital menu boards and a live Twitter feed display.

With that goal in mind, they contacted NanoLumens to build an 8’ wide, 4.5” tall, full color 6mm pixel pitch LED display, aka the NanoBar.

The ‘NanoBar’ display’s content is powered by software developed by Scala, which also provides content for the store’s digital menu boards behind the register counter.

NanoLumens displays are slim, ultra-lightweight, energy efficient. The company says its edge-to-edge picture quality (up to a brightness of 5000 nits) can be viewed from any angle or any distance without color shift or picture drop-off.
