Did you know? In commercial space design, the doors function is no longer limited to simple “opening and closing isolation”. Although traditional glass doors are transparent, they lack dynamic display capabilities; although ordinary LED screens can play content, they sacrifice the openness of the space.
The birth of sliding doors transparent LED display cleverly combines the dual needs of display and transparency. They have become the “black technology” for upgrading the visual experience.
What is a sliding door transparent LED display?
The sliding door transparent LED display screen is to embed or cover the transparent LED module on the sliding glass door structure. It forms a “movable and displayable” intelligent media carrier. It mainly includes 2 core components:
Transparent LED module:
- The transmittance can reach 60%~85%
- The commonly used pixel pitches are P3.9, P7.8, etc.
- It has the advantages of high brightness, wide viewing angle, light and easy to install.
Sliding door structure:
- Sliding opening and closing can be achieved through the top track or side track system
- Can be controlled manually or automatically
- The door body itself is mostly tempered glass and aluminum profile structure
- Can be integrated with LED modules.
The core technology of the sliding door transparent LED display lies in the embedded design of ultra-thin LED light strips: LED lamp beads only occupy 5%-20% of the glass surface area. The rest of the area remains transparent, and the subversive experience of “door as screen” is achieved with the sliding track.
Take the luxury window as an example. Traditional glass doors can only display goods statically during non-business hours, while transparent LED sliding doors can achieve seamless connection of “advertising diversion + space opening”. Therefore, this feature of maintaining the sense of space transparency and dynamically transmitting information has quickly made it a “new favorite of facades” in scenes such as shopping malls, exhibition halls, and high-end hotels.
Sliding doors transparent LED screen aplication
The application scenarios of sliding doors transparent LED screen are rapidly expanding. From commercial spaces to private homes, from static displays to smart interactions, you can see them.
Mall windows & brand stores
In high-end malls, flagship stores and boutiques, sliding doors were originally just transitional devices to separate indoor and outdoor areas. Today, sliding LED display can be transformed into smart windows to achieve:
- High light transmittance during the day, automatic playback of brand advertisements or promotional information at night;
- Play welcome animations or new product displays when the door is opened by induction;
- Enhance customers’ “first glance” impression and increase store entry rate.
Exhibition halls & corporate exhibition areas
In technology exhibition halls, museums, and corporate brand display areas, sliding transparent LED screen not only serve as space partitions, but also can simultaneously play product introductions, interactive content or immersive videos.
- Can be linked with touch sensing, intelligent voice and other technologies to enhance the visiting experience;
- Can quickly change content according to different exhibition periods to save exhibition costs;
- The overall sense of technology and brand image complement each other.
Office lobby & high-end hotel
At the entrance of high-end office buildings and hotel lobbies, sliding doors transparent LED video wall can be used for:
- Displaying welcome messages, meeting arrangements, weather time and other information;
- Combined with automatic sensing systems to improve the entry and exit experience;
- Looking high-end and atmospheric, highlighting the modern smart space design concept.
Smart homes & luxury villas
In private homes or villas, some users have also begun to try to use this sliding door for:
- Personalized home theater partition door;
- Transparent door between the living room and the balcony, showing the scenery, weather, and family information;
- Festival atmosphere rendering: Spring Festival scrolling “Fu” characters, birthday surprise animations, etc.
Such a creative LED display, do you know how it is installed?
How is the sliding door transparent LED display installed?
To achieve the transparent LED sliding door effect, this is a system engineering that requires professional integration, involving multiple aspects such as slide rails, screens, and power supply control. You can follow these common installation structures and key technical points.
1. Installation method
Top rail system: commonly seen in exhibition halls and commercial facades, the electric rail is installed in the ceiling. The door body is suspended and slid, and the power cord and signal cord can be hidden in the rail, which is neat and beautiful.
Bottom rail system: suitable for places with high load-bearing requirements or inconvenient hoisting. The rail is set on the ground, runs smoothly, and is suitable for large doors.
2. Control and drive system
Automatic sliding control: driven by servo motor/DC motor, supports infrared sensing, button or remote APP control;
Opening and closing synchronous display control: can be set through the timeline, and the playback content is automatically adjusted while the door body slides (such as switching from “Welcome to enter” to internal introduction).
3. Power and signal system
Wiring method:
- Internal rail wiring: suitable for top rails, no cables are exposed visually;
- Soft wiring on the side of the door frame: suitable for non-enclosed installation, easy to maintain;
Control method:
- Supports Wi-Fi/4G/wired multiple methods;
- Can be connected to the CMS system to remotely batch manage content updates of multiple devices.
4. Module maintenance and safety
The module usually supports front maintenance, and bad points can be replaced without removing the door;
- The door body uses tempered glass and aluminum profile frame, which is safe and stable;
- The display part is usually powered by low voltage (5V/12V) to avoid high voltage safety risks.
How much does sliding transparent LED screen cost?
The sliding transparent screen cost consists of multiple parts. Due to Different dot pitches, sizes, control methods, customization and other factors, they will have a significant impact on the total cost.
Transparent LED module price
The transparent LED modules price is mainly affected by factors such as dot pitch, brand, and quality. Taking the common P3.9 dot pitch as an example, its price is approximately between US$1,000 and US$3,000 per square meter. The smaller the dot pitch, the higher the price.
Cost of track sliding system
The cost of the track sliding system includes the cost of components such as tracks, pulleys, and motors. The prices of tracks of different materials and specifications vary. Generally speaking, the cost of a track sliding system ranges from hundreds to thousands of dollars, and the specific price depends on factors such as the size and weight of the door and the sliding method.

Typical application total price estimation
Take a sliding door LED screen with a size of 1.2m×2m as an example, the screen area is about 2.4㎡.
Assuming that you use P3.91 transparent LED display, the display price is about US$2000/㎡, then the total screen price is 2.4×2000 = US$4800.
The cost of the track sliding system is about US$1000, the cost of the control system is about US$1000, and the installation cost is about US$500.
Then the total price of this sliding door transparent LED display system is about US$4800 + 1000 + 1000 + 500 = US$7300, and the price range is roughly between US$4000 and US$8000.
Of course, if the size is increased, or customized opening and closing angles, interactive controls, touch screens, etc, the overall price will also increase simultaneously.
However, compared with the rental of shopping mall windows and traditional advertising investment, its advantage of “one-time investment and long-term display” is still very prominent.
