470 sqm Outdoor P4.44 LED Display on an African Mall Facade: Project Case Study

Project at a Glance
A shopping mall in Africa commissioned a large-format outdoor LED display to anchor its exterior facade and carry high-impact advertising. The finished screen measures 28.8 m wide by 16.32 m high — roughly 470 square meters of digital surface — and resolves at 6486 × 3676 pixels.

The Brief
Outdoor facade displays face conditions indoor screens never see: direct sunlight, rain, dust, temperature swings and continuous operation. The client wanted a screen bright enough to stay readable in daylight, durable enough to run for years outdoors, and precise enough that advertising content looks sharp from street level and from a distance. It also had to fit the building's structural constraints and meet local safety expectations.
Our Solution
We supplied an outdoor LED display built on an aluminum-cabinet platform at a P4.44 mm pixel pitch — a sweet spot for large facade screens. At 4.44 mm, the 6486 × 3676 pixel canvas delivers fine detail while keeping the cabinet count, weight and power demand practical for a wall-mounted structure of this size. The aluminum cabinet adds strong heat dissipation and structural rigidity, qualities that matter in a hot, high-hour outdoor environment.
Brightness and contrast were specified for daylight visibility, and the system supports scheduled content and remote management, so the mall can run advertising, promotions and announcements on its own timeline without manual intervention.

Installation and Support
Large facade screens depend on disciplined engineering: the cabinet layout must match the wall's dimensions, power and data routing must be planned before the steel structure goes up, and every module must be tested before it leaves the factory. We shipped the display fully assembled and tested, and provided the documentation the installation team needed for a smooth buildup and a reliable switch-on.
Results
- Approximately 470 sqm of high-brightness outdoor display area across a mall facade.
- 6486 × 3676 px resolution at P4.44 mm for sharp, detailed content.
- Aluminum-cabinet construction for durability and effective heat management.
- Factory-tested modules supporting a reliable, on-schedule installation.
