  1. LED Mesh Electronic Message Signage.

The LED Mesh (“Curtain Wall”) is a favorite of artists and is popular in settings where less is more. Fully programmable and customizable, the transparency of the LED curtain wall is due to the distance between its LED strands. Each LED is twice as far apart horizontally as vertically. As images and text scroll across the array, the human eye fills in the gap in the LED matrix. The result is an illusion of text floating in midair on a nearly invisible background. CW Series signs are made in the United States.
