Dual Sided Window Displays

Introduction to CDS Dual Sided Window Displays

Dual-sided window displays elevate the appeal of stores, banks, and commercial spaces with high visibility in any environment. The exterior screen offers up to 3000 nits (also available in 700cd and 1500cd), while the interior screen ensures high contrast with a minimum of 400cd/m² (or 700cd). Despite their dual-sided design, these displays remain impressively slim and lightweight, starting at just 12mm—thinner than most single-sided screens—offering both functionality and a sleek, modern aesthetic.

What is a Dual Sided Window Display?

A dual-sided window display, or double-sided display, is an advertising solution designed for storefronts and commercial spaces. Unlike single-sided screens, it provides visibility from both the interior and exterior, maximizing promotional impact in both directions.

Key Features

Visibility from Multiple Directions: Dual-sided displays attract attention from both inside and outside, increasing reach and engagement with pedestrians on both sides of the storefront.

Increased Exposure: By utilizing both sides, businesses can double their advertising impact without requiring extra space—ideal for high-traffic areas.

Versatility: These displays allow businesses to show the same message on both sides for consistency or different content to target varied audiences and promotions.

Maximizing Space: Dual-sided displays optimize valuable storefront real estate, making them especially beneficial for smaller businesses with limited space.

Attractive Design: Dual-sided displays are eye-catching, enhanced by vibrant colors, dynamic lighting, and interactive features to maximize impact.

Enhanced Customer Experience: Engaging content on both sides enriches the shopping experience, drawing in passersby and encouraging in-store exploration.

Cost-Efficiency: Though they require a higher initial investment, dual-sided displays double advertising space, leading to greater visibility and long-term ROI.

Digital Integration: Many models now feature digital screens and interactive elements, enabling businesses to showcase videos, animations, and dynamic content for a lasting impression.

Maximized Visibility

With displays visible from both inside and outside the store or building, dual-sided displays maximize exposure to passersby on both sides of the street or sidewalk, increasing the likelihood of capturing their attention.

Enhanced Engagement

By presenting information or advertising content from multiple angles, dual-sided displays can engage potential customers more effectively, increasing the chances of them interacting with the displayed content.

Improved Customer Experience

Dual-sided displays can enhance the overall customer experience by providing relevant information or promotional offers at multiple touchpoints, whether customers are walking past the storefront or browsing inside the store.

Anti-Glare and Anti-Reflection Features

Our dual-sided displays are equipped with anti-glare and anti-reflection coatings or technologies to reduce glare and improve visibility in sunlight. These features help maintain clear visibility of the content despite ambient light conditions.

Dynamic Content Adjustment

 CDS dual-sided displays can incorporate sensors or automatic brightness adjustment features that dynamically adapt the display’s brightness based on ambient light conditions. This can help maintain optimal visibility in changing sunlight conditions.
