Bayan Signage supplies and installs transparent LED screens that let a shopfront, showroom or atrium carry video without losing the view through the glass. The LED panels and film come from established display manufacturers; we design the hanging or standing system, fabricate the frames and rails in our Ajman factory, install them aligned to your glazing and set up the content.
A transparent LED screen is built from thin vertical LED strips with gaps between them, so roughly 60 to 90 per cent of the surface stays open. From a few metres away the eye merges the lit pixels into a picture while still seeing through. Rigid panels, often 1,000 x 500 mm, hang or stand behind the glass; LED film bonds to the inside of the glazing. Flagship stores, car showrooms, mall atriums, hotel glass walls and street-facing lobbies use them to show content at night without closing in the space by day.
The quality of a transparent installation depends less on the panel than on how it meets the building. Panel joints that ignore the mullions look like a second, clumsy glazing grid. Panels pushed hard against the glass trap heat and make the inside face impossible to clean. And content designed for a normal screen, with white backgrounds, turns the window into a blank light panel. We align panels to the glazing, leave a ventilated gap and brief your content team before launch.
Bayan Signage has made signage at its own factory in Alam Square, Industrial Area 2, Ajman, since 2016, as the production arm of Bayan Advertising, which has worked in the UAE for 15 years. Our draftsmen detail the support rails and their fixings, our fabricators make the steel and aluminium frames and powder-coat them to match the shopfront, our electricians hide the power and control in the rails, and our installers work with your glazing and fit-out contractors.

Rigid panels and film each have their place. The choice depends on the glass, the viewing distance and how much structure the space can take.
P3.9 to P5 panels behind shop glass, aligned to the mullions, showing campaigns to the street while shoppers still see the products inside.
View details →Larger panel screens for car and property showrooms, where tall glazing and a long view from the road suit a coarser, more transparent pitch.
View details →A flexible clear sheet bonded to the inside of the glass, for doors, curved glazing and places with no floor or ceiling space for a frame.
View details →Panels hung in mall voids and double-height lobbies, where content seems to float without blocking sightlines across the space.
View details →Lightweight transparent panels that add motion to a stand while keeping the product and the people behind them visible from the aisle.
View details →When sharp text and close viewing matter more than seeing through, a window LCD is often the better choice for the same shopfront.
View details →We measure the glass and mullion grid, check the ceiling or floor for fixing points, note the sun direction and find routes for power and data. The survey is free in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman.
We recommend panel or film and a pitch, set the layout to the mullions, and our draftsmen detail the rails, fixings and safety cables for landlord approval.
Steel or aluminium rails and frames are cut, welded and powder-coated in our factory to match the shopfront, with channels to hide power supplies and cables.
Panels are ordered from one production batch and powered on our bench before site, so colour, brightness and dead strips are checked away from the shop floor.
Our crew fixes the rails, hangs or stands the panels with safety cables, aligns every joint to the glazing and leaves the inside of the glass reachable for cleaning.
We set brightness to follow daylight, load test content on a black background, check the view from the street and from inside, and hand over the content system.
This is the specification we start from for a street-facing shopfront. Atriums and film installations change some lines, and every choice is itemised on the quote.
| Component | Our standard | Upgrade options | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display | Rigid panels, P3.9 to P5 | Coarser pitch for distance, LED film | Pitch trades detail against transparency and cost. |
| Brightness | About 4,000 to 5,000 nits with light sensor | Higher brightness for sun-facing glass | Daylight through the glass competes with the screen; the sensor dims it at night. |
| Support | Top-hung from steel rail with safety cables | Floor rail, ceiling grid fixing, bespoke frame | A safe, level support keeps joints aligned and passes landlord checks. |
| Frame finish | Powder-coated to match mullions | Custom profiles to hide rails | Rails that match the glazing almost disappear from the street. |
| Power and control | Supplies and receiving cards in the rail | Remote monitoring, scheduled playback | Hiding electronics outside the visible area keeps the glass clear. |
| Access | 50 to 150 mm gap to glass | Lift-out panels for cleaning | Glass needs cleaning on both faces in UAE dust; access avoids taking the screen down. |
Transparent screens reward careful planning more than almost any other display. These are the points we settle before ordering.
On a transparent screen, black is clear glass. Content built on a black background floats on the window, while full-frame white turns the shopfront into a light panel and hides your products. Ask your designers for bold graphics, product shots and motion on black, and keep any white to small, deliberate areas.
A finer pitch means more detail but more LEDs and less open area. For a shopfront seen from 3 to 10 m, P3.9 to P5 is usually the right balance. For an atrium or facade seen from 15 m or more, P7.8 to P10 is cheaper and more transparent. There is no setting that gives both maximum clarity and maximum view.
Resolution is low. A 3 x 2 m screen at P3.9 is only about 770 x 510 pixels, so text needs to be at least 150 to 200 mm high to read cleanly, and long sentences will not work. Treat the screen as a moving poster, not a page of information.
Lay out panels so their joints line up with the vertical and horizontal glazing bars. From the street the screen then reads as part of the shopfront, not as a second grid laid over it. That sometimes means a slightly smaller or larger screen than first drawn, which is worth it.
Strong sun through the glass heats the air gap behind it. A 50 to 150 mm gap lets warm air rise out, and a brightness setting that follows daylight cuts heat further. The same gap lets cleaners reach the inside of the glass, which in UAE dust is needed often.
We quote each transparent screen from the glazing and the layout. Send us the glass dimensions, photos from inside and outside, and how far away people will view it, and you will usually receive an itemised quote within 24 hours.
A finer pitch means more LEDs per square metre and a higher cost; a coarser pitch is cheaper and more see-through but needs distance.
Rigid panels need rails or frames but are easy to service; film needs no structure but requires skilled application and is harder to repair.
Cost scales with area, and custom sizes that follow mullions or curved glass need cut panels and longer manufacturer lead times.
Higher brightness for sun-facing glass needs better LEDs and more power, and the extra heat in the gap has to be managed.
Top-hung systems, floor rails, safety rigging and work at height shape the installation cost, especially in tall showrooms.
A first content set made for the screen's exact resolution is quoted separately and often makes the biggest difference to the result.
A screen visible from outside may be treated as advertising, and malls, landlords and authorities often have rules on brightness, content and moving images in shop windows. Street-facing installations in Dubai, Sharjah or Ajman may need municipality or free-zone approval depending on the location and what the screen shows.
Suspended panels add a second layer: building management usually reviews the fixing to the slab or ceiling, the loads and the safety cables before work starts. Our draftsmen prepare the drawings and load details for both approvals. Requirements differ by site, so we confirm the current rules for your exact location before anything is ordered.
Support rails and frames are fabricated and powder-coated in our Ajman factory to match your shopfront, with the electronics hidden inside.
We set panel joints to the mullions and detail the fixings with your glazing contractor, so the screen looks part of the building.
Panels are powered and checked on our bench for colour and dead strips before they reach your shop floor.
We brief your designers on resolution, black backgrounds and text size, and test content from the street before handover.
Our draftsmen prepare drawings and load details for landlords, building management and, where needed, the municipality.
If a window LCD or printed window graphics would serve you better, we say so and quote that instead.
It depends on the pitch, the area, panel or film, the brightness, the support structure and the installation access. A coarse-pitch atrium screen costs less per square metre than a fine-pitch shopfront screen. Send us the glass dimensions, photos and viewing distance for an itemised quote, usually within 24 hours.
It is made of thin vertical LED strips with gaps between them, so most of the panel is open. From a few metres away the eye merges the lit pixels into an image while still seeing through the gaps. Black content shows as clear glass, so images seem to float in the window.
Yes, though the view is slightly reduced. From inside, the panels appear as fine lines of strips, and the street remains visible between them. Transparency of 60 to 90 per cent is typical, depending on the pitch.
Transparent LED keeps the view through the glass and suits large windows and atriums seen from a distance. A high-brightness window LCD gives a much sharper picture and readable text close up, but blocks the view behind it. If the window is the product display, transparent LED usually wins.
Film suits doors, curved glass and places with no room for a frame, and it is very light. Rigid panels are brighter, easier to service and replace in sections, and come in finer pitches. Most shopfronts use panels; film is the specialist option.
No. Transparent panels and film are products of established display manufacturers. We specify and supply them, fabricate the rails and frames in our Ajman factory, install and align them to your glazing, and set up the content system.
We leave a 50 to 150 mm gap between panels and glass, and where needed design panels to lift out, so the inside face can be cleaned without taking the screen down. The panels themselves only need occasional dusting.
Yes. Our crews install in all seven emirates from our Ajman factory, including malls in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. The site survey is free in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman, and we coordinate night-shift work with mall operations where needed.
