Houdini Transparent

Houdini is our transparent LED display series — a soft, flexible fiberglass-based display that people see through, showing vibrant content while preserving the view behind it. With up to 90% rated transparency, no rear structure, and panels that hang freely or adhere to glass, Houdini turns windows, facades, and open air into display surfaces.

Houdini is nearly invisible when idle or viewed from behind: up to 90% transparency, no rear supporting structure, and a soft, flexible fiberglass PCB instead of a rigid panel. Content appears to float on the glass — or in open air — while visibility through the display remains clear from both sides.

Houdini comes in four pitches — 2.5mm, 3.9mm, 6.3mm, and 10mm — and pitch selection works differently here: transparency and brightness increase with pitch. The 2.5mm delivers 70% transparency at 1,200 nits for close viewing; 3.9mm reaches 80% and 3,000 nits; 6.3mm achieves 90% transparency at 5,000 nits; and the 10mm extends the series to its longest viewing distances and most open configurations.

Transparency scales with pixel pitch: 70% at 2.5mm, 80% at 3.9mm, and 90% at 6.3mm — the wider the pixel spacing, the more open area light passes through. Choosing a Houdini configuration means balancing viewing distance against how invisible the display should be, with even the finest pitch keeping most of the view intact.

Yes — Houdini reaches up to 5,000 nits maximum brightness, keeping content sharp and legible even in exterior-facing windows under direct sunlight. Brightness scales with pitch, with the high-transparency configurations delivering the most output — precisely the models suited to storefront glass.

Both — Houdini’s flexible panels adhere to either side of glass on nearly any storefront, facade, or atrium surface, and can also hang independently as a free-floating curtain with air passing through the display itself.

TL;DR: LEDs can shine through the glass (display protected indoors) or face away from it (wider viewing angles, but weather-exposed on exterior windows).

Either work, it depends on the application. Mounted with LEDs shining through the glass, the display adheres inside the building — ideal for retail, with content facing the street while hardware stays indoors and protected. Mounted with LEDs facing away from the glass, viewers get wider clear angles since they aren’t looking through the glass depth — but on exterior windows this places the display outside the building’s protection, exposing it to the elements. Adhesion is non-permanent either way, so modules remove, service, and reinstall cleanly.

Yes — Houdini panels can be trimmed to exact length and interlock through a splicing connection that preserves transparency, with splices nearly invisible except from behind at certain angles. Custom windows, unusual shapes, and massive glass walls fill completely, with transparency and image quality intact.

Every Houdini pixel contains its own static integrated driver — pixels are always lit rather than scanned row-by-row, eliminating scan rate entirely — while refreshing at 3,840Hz. The result is an exceptionally stable image with up to 16-bit processing depth and adjustable color temperature from 3,000K to 9,000K.

Yes — because Houdini’s pixels are statically driven, there are no scan lines by architecture, and 3,840Hz refresh keeps the image clean on video. Transparent displays photograph memorably — content appearing to float in air or on glass — making Houdini a distinctive choice for filmed events, broadcast backdrops, and social-ready installations.

TL;DR: Yes — unlike most transparent LED, where pixel damage means discarding the module, Houdini pixels repair like standard SMD, and can even be replaced in place.

Most transparent LED encases pixels in a clear substrate — pixel damage means discarding an unserviceable module. Houdini repairs like any SMD display: remove the module, replace the pixel, return it to spare stock. When hung freely or with glass behind the modules, pixels can even be replaced in place, no removal required. A transparent display that’s actually repairable protects the investment for its full lifespan.

Houdini includes a 3-year warranty, with coverage up to 5 years available and sufficient spare parts included. Service is front-access and module-level: because glass adhesion is non-permanent, individual modules remove, repair, and reinstall without disturbing the surrounding display — maintenance as unobtrusive as the display itself.
