Curved Rooftop LED Display in Downtown Atlanta Case Study

Project Overview

A groundbreaking curved LED screen was installed atop a historic building at 140 Peachtree Street NW in downtown Atlanta, overlooking Margaret Mitchell Square at the bustling intersection of Peachtree and Forsyth streets. This Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) display, procured by Orange Barrel Media, combines cutting-edge technology with architectural preservation, creating a visually stunning landmark in the heart of the city.

Key Features & Specifications

 Dimensions: 13'4" (height) × 43' (width)
 Curvature: 50-foot convex radius for optimal visibility from all angles
 Pixel Pitch: 8mm, ensuring high-definition clarity
 Resolution: 510 × 1,640 pixels (830,000+ total pixels)
 Location: Positioned above a waterfall feature with columns, facing the Peachtree Center MARTA station entrance

Technical & Design Innovations

1. Curved LED Technology
