Leyard Europe has announced the expansion of the DirectLight family with the DirectLight Slim Series. Launched at ISE 2025, the Made in Europe Series features an ultra-thin, narrow width form factor.
The company says the new fine pixel pitch mLED video wall display accommodates curved and space-constrained applications that benefit from its form factor, including control rooms, broadcast studios, virtual production, extended reality, simulation and training.
Offering an installation depth of less than 2in, the series is designed for tightly curved video walls with the solution’s reduced width delivering minimal colour shift compared to other LED displays, the company says.
Leyard Europe also believes the series is well-suited for flat video walls in tight spaces because of its minimum depth and front serviceability. Models feature mLED technology and are available in 0.9, 1.2, 1.5 and 1.8mm pixel pitches with a maximum brightness of 1,600 nits and a 4:9 aspect ratio.
The DirectLight Slim Series also introduces pixel-level monitoring which allows users to identify when services or repair are needed. DirectLight Slim Series customers can also select from the Planar WallDirector Video Controller or a ColorLight controller.
The latest improvements to the DirectLight family also add pixel-level monitoring and mLED technology to the DirectLight Pro Series, introducing improved brightness, power consumption and overall video performance.
Robert Detwiler, senior director of product management and training at Planar, said: “This expansion of the DirectLight family leverages our customers’ most popular features, while enhancing capabilities to support a broader set of needs and use cases. From a significantly reduced installation depth and slim profile for fastening to higher brightness, reduced power consumption and advanced display performance monitoring, DirectLight Slim Series and DirectLight Pro Series deliver unmatched deployment and energy efficiency for visual performance that stuns and lasts.”
A low power model is also available for energy-conscious customers or applications with low ambient light conditions, offering 500 nits of brightness with only 68 watts of power consumption.
DirectLight Slim Series and DirectLight Pro Series customers can remotely monitor their display performance and incidents with the Planar WallDirector Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) display fleet management application.
