When Pearl Jam front man
Eddie Vedder agrees to perform at a fundraising event at a private residence,
you can be certain that the event’s organizers will do everything possible to
make sure everyone has a center stage view of the performance. That’s exactly what Artists for Peace and
Justice did when they hung a NanoLumens® 112”
NanoFlex™ display from this home’s balcony — they turned a daytime backyard
event into a state-of-the-art concert venue in just under one hour!
Artists for Peace and Justice (APJ), a celebrity-backed fundraising
organization, recently utilized a NanoLumens 112” NanoFlex display at their
large backyard fundraising event in Toronto during the Toronto International
Film Festival. As an outdoor fundraiser,
there was certain to be bright sunlight, wind, and possibly even rain—all of
which made the ultra-bright, flexible, waterproof NanoFlex display the perfect
display solution!
With more than 250
guests, including actors and musicians in town for the film festival, the event
was a hit and raised more than $600,000! The proceeds helped APJ to open a new
building at the Academy for Peace and Justice, the first free secondary school
serving the very poor in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
According to APG Displays Vice President David Weatherhead, “There’s a reason most
concerts take place at night—the stage lights and video displays are easiest to
see in the dark. For a midday concert or
event where a video is shown in direct sunlight, the display has to be
exceptionally bright in order for people to view the video, and the NanoFlex display
excels in this regard because it is made to extremely high standards and is
capable of incredible brightness. When Artists for Peace and Justice told us
what they wanted to do and what the fundraiser was for, we decided to lend a
hand to the cause and provide them the NanoLumens 112” NanoFlex display for the
four-hour event. We also provided a cameraman who shot video throughout the
fundraiser and live performance. The
NanoLumens screen worked out perfectly because we were able to hang it right on
the back porch of the house in less than an hour, because it’s so light! I
wouldn’t be comfortable doing that with any other display.”
First introduced in 2010,
NanoFlex™ digital displays remain
the only solution of their kind. They
conform to fit any surface, are thin,
lightweight and energy efficient, and can be mounted as easily as a work of
art. NanoLumens is the only company in the world able to reliably manufacture
ultra-thin and lightweight, easy-to-install and maintain, seamless 6mm pixel
pitch flexible LED displays in virtually any
shape or size to meet each customer’s unique requirements.
“The NanoFlex is the most versatile digital
display in the world, thanks to its light weight, flexible design, super-bright
LED technology, and reduced installation requirements,” said NanoLumens President
Rick Cope. “Outdoor concerts,
fundraisers, rallies and sporting events have been waiting for a display
tailored to their specific needs for bright sunlight viewing, while also being
protected from rain and wind. A
flexible, bright waterproof display is exactly what the digital signage and
display industry needed, and it’s exactly what we are producing every day.”
Artists for Peace and Justice, established in early 2009, is a fundraising
effort founded by Paul Haggis and friends that encourages peace and social
justice and addresses issues of poverty and enfranchisement in communities
around the world. The organization’s immediate goal is to build schools to
serve the poorest areas of Haiti, providing an education, hot meals, clean
drinking water and regular medical treatments to the children living in the
slums.
Headquartered in
Norcross, Georgia, NanoLumens, Inc. (www.nanolumens.com)
is a privately held corporation engaged in the research, product development
and component design for unique flexible displays that address a yawning
technology gap in the $14 billion digital display industry. NanoLumens has
built a portfolio of more than 20 international families of issued and filed
patents on its flexible display technology that effectively address the
commercial market void between relatively small flat-panel displays and huge,
limited application LED boards. NanoLumens technology is not constrained by
standard sizes and shapes, or by the size, noise and cost issues associated
with commercial LED products.
