Why Shenzhen Is Becoming a Hub for Transparent LED Engineering in 2025
As commercial architecture increasingly favors glass façades, open-air retail concepts, and immersive brand experiences, the demand for display technology that does not compromise natural light or sightlines has grown sharply. Conventional LED screens are heavy, thick, and opaque — a poor fit for glass curtain walls, shop windows, and creative installation scenarios that require curved or irregular mounting. This is the core problem that Shenzhen Showho, operating its overseas brand Whaley-LED, has built its business around since its founding in 2015.
Headquartered in Shenzhen, China, the company's business coverage spans the domestic Chinese market, and from 2025 onward, overseas commercial display and engineering projects under the Whaley-LED brand, offering OEM and ODM services tailored to international clients.
A Company Built on Full-Chain Technical Control
What differentiates Shenzhen Showho in the transparent LED display space is not a single product feature but an integrated approach to research, structural design, and manufacturing. The company self-manages its technology chain from the IC bare chip architecture and functional design, through LED bracket and LED packaging, to electronic circuit design. This vertical control allows the company to respond quickly to market demand and to execute custom OEM and ODM engineering projects without depending on third-party component suppliers for core technology.
This technical depth is backed by dozens of invention and utility model patents related to film screens, and by proprietary innovations such as lamp-driver integrated LED design and a PCB board built with hollow mesh circuit design — an architecture that supports the frameless, see-through character of the company's holographic screen series.
The LED Holographic Transparent Screen Family
The centerpiece of the company's product portfolio is the LED Holographic Transparent Screen, a film-type transparent LED display engineered specifically for commercial display and engineering projects. Across the series, the company reports sensory permeability above 80%, with individual models ranging from over 70% to over 99% visual permeability depending on pixel pitch. Screen thickness stays below 2 mm, and screen weight is kept under roughly 3 kg per square meter, significantly reducing the structural load requirements that typically limit where a conventional display can be installed.
Flexibility is a defining trait of the product line. The screens can be bent, cut, affixed directly to glass, hung, or fixed in place, and curved installation is supported with a radius greater than 600 mm, making the product suitable for corner screens, cylindrical surfaces, and S-shaped inner and outer arcs. According to the company's technical documentation, splice height has been described as reaching up to 8 m in one specification, with a later English-language note indicating up to 6 m without a mid-span power supply, while one-side length remains unrestricted.
Within this family, the company also offers an LED Holographic Screen Advertising Machine Series, built for retail and commercial environments that require a self-contained transparent advertising display, and an LED Holographic Screen Double-Sided Display Series, weighing approximately 4.5 kg per square meter at about 2 mm thickness, with visual permeability over 90%. The double-sided series allows independent content on the front and back simultaneously — for example, dynamic product promotion on one side and brand storytelling on the other — which is particularly relevant for glass curtain walls, shop windows, and transit hubs where audiences view the screen from both directions.
Engineering-Grade Technical Specifications
For engineering buyers evaluating transparent LED solutions, consistency across pixel pitch models matters as much as any single headline figure. Across the PH2.5 through PH50 model range, the company maintains refresh rates greater than 3840 Hz, frame change rates greater than 60 Hz, a gray level of at least 16 bit, an IP rating better than IP45, an average lifespan exceeding 100,000 operating hours, and an MTBF greater than 10,000 hours. Dead pixel rate is held below 1 in 10,000, with discrete distribution. Brightness ranges from 800 cd/m² to 5000 cd/m² depending on the model, and all models are compatible with Colorlight and NovaStar control systems, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous operation.
This breadth of pixel pitch options — from 2.5 mm up to 50 mm — means that a single engineering partner can address scenarios ranging from close-viewing shop windows to large-format building curtain walls, without switching technology providers mid-project.
Service Model: OEM, ODM, and Rapid-Response Manufacturing
Because Shenzhen Showho controls R&D, structural design, and in-house production under one roof, the company is positioned to support both OEM and ODM service models for overseas commercial display and engineering projects launched under Whaley-LED in 2025. In-house production supports rapid market response and the kind of custom sizing, cutting, bending, and curved installation that engineering projects typically require. Delivery options include direct adhesive mounting on glass, hanging display, and fixed installation, with support for arbitrary cutting and bending on site.
Where the Technology Is Applied
The company's transparent and holographic LED screens are positioned for a defined set of industry use cases: commercial display windows, commercial curtain walls, exhibition halls, creative displays, entertainment and cultural tourism venues, automobile 4S stores, airport concourses, building curtain walls, and commercial centers. This range reflects the underlying design philosophy — a display that preserves daylight and views while still delivering media content, rather than a single-purpose advertising panel.
Beyond the holographic screen series, the company's main offerings also include the LED Grille Screen, LED Transparent Screen, LED Photoelectric Glass, LED Crystal Film Screen, and LED Mesh Screen, each addressing a specific variation of transparent or lightweight display need within commercial display and engineering project contexts.
A Measured Case for Engineering Partners
For project teams in Shenzhen and internationally evaluating transparent LED display engineering services in 2025, the relevant question is not simply which company advertises transparency, but which one can demonstrate control over the full technology chain, document consistent performance metrics across its model range, and support custom OEM/ODM delivery at the installation stage. Shenzhen Showho, through its Whaley-LED overseas brand, presents its capabilities on these terms: self-developed IC architecture, a patent portfolio centered on film screens, measurable permeability and weight figures across its product series, and a service structure built specifically around rapid-response, project-based manufacturing.
