About Gkgd Smart Screen
GKGD is a 136-inch interactive display designed for government, education, healthcare and retail settings. The unit combines an LED screen, a sound system and touch control in one body. The body is 22 mm thin and made of aerospace grade aluminum alloy with brushed and powder coated metal surfaces. A metal stand supports the screen and makes installation and removal simple. Eight microphones capture voice within a radius of six meters. The screen can be divided into four sections, so several meetings can be handled at the same time.
Shanxi High-tech Huajie Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd's GKGD Smart Screen emerges within the contemporary tradition of display technology design that synthesizes precision engineering with considered aesthetic sensibility, presenting the device not merely as functional apparatus but as an object worthy of visual contemplation. The presentation employs a trio configuration that elegantly demonstrates scalability while creating dynamic compositional interest through diagonal recession, a technique borrowed from classical still life arrangements yet applied here to technological subjects. The demonstration imagery selected for the screens merits particular attention: abstract flowing forms in warm coral and cool cerulean hues showcase the display's chromatic range while evoking natural phenomena—perhaps canyon formations, flowing water, or windswept fabric—thereby humanizing the technological object through organic visual association. The minimal bezel treatment achieves a near-frameless aesthetic that maximizes active display area while maintaining structural integrity, reflecting contemporary design philosophies that privilege content visibility over apparatus presence. Technical accomplishment manifests in the apparent uniformity of color reproduction across all three screen sizes, suggesting sophisticated calibration and manufacturing consistency. The compositional decision to present multiple sizes simultaneously invites consideration of the product family as cohesive system rather than isolated objects, emphasizing versatility across applications. The pure white background and subtle shadowing beneath each unit employ conventions of premium product photography that elevate the subject while maintaining documentary clarity. One might reflect upon how such display technologies have become windows through which contemporary viewers access information, entertainment, and connection—the quality of that window thus shaping the quality of that access itself.

Aerospace grade aluminum alloy
The shell is manufactured by die casting technology, while the stand, frame, and multimedia control box utilize profile or sheet metal fabrication process.
The LED display module uses VMD technology to enhance air tightness and thus fully encapsulate pixel light sources, which can withstand the impact of 25Kg/cm². - Design Challenge
- Multipoint grayscale calibration technology supports traditional brightness calibration, and can generate exclusive calibration coefficients for low gray parts. This enhances the uniformity and quality of low gray images. Power on self test technology automatically conducts open or short circuit detection and locates the positions. Once the defective pixels exceed a threshold set by users, the device will trigger automatic alarms, improving maintenance convenience and overall reliability.
- Project Duration
- This product was designed in June, 2023 in Shanxi, and launched in December, 2023 in China.
- Operation Flow
- The device integrates a sound system, a touch control system, a conference system including wireless screen mirroring, office software, Bluetooth remote control, etc., and dual boot Android and Windows. It can split into 4 sections for interaction with multiple conferences, and supports Bluetooth voice remote control. The screen with 8 mic array and 6m voice pickup radius ensures comprehensive sound capture while reducing echo and noise, improving conference efficiency and user experience.
- Research
- To meet the market demands for LED all in one featuring a P1.2 to P1.8 2K screen with the size ranging from 108 to 163 inches, the design team has developed this product. It integrates audiovisual and touch control capabilities, as well as easy mobility, providing users in different sectors with a quality, intelligent solution.
- Inspiration
- The device boasts a metallic texture and embodies an industrial structural aesthetic by virtue of an ingenious design language. Its 22mm ultra thin body is as slim as a painting, facilitating installation and removal. The rounded corners and ultra short rectangular multimedia control box exude the beauty of minimalism. The strong metal stand designed with graceful lines ensures both safety and stability while providing aesthetic pleasure.
