PPDS has launched the Philips Signage 7000 Series, its first range of “UltraSlim” digital signage displays, unveiling the 4K UHD line at InfoComm 2026 in Las Vegas. The company says the panels are up to 60 percent slimmer than comparable models, making a thinner, lighter build the range’s central pitch.
PPDS, the exclusive global provider of Philips Professional Displays, said the Signage 7000 Series establishes a new “UltraSlim” category within its line-up and is available across all major regions, including EMEA, Asia-Pacific and the Americas. The displays are 4K UHD and described as AI-ready, built on the Android system-on-chip platform that underpins much of the company’s professional range.
Rather than target a single use case, PPDS is pitching the range across a broad set of environments. It listed corporate offices, hospitality, food and beverage, retail, stadiums and arenas, education, transportation and security among the intended markets, with configurations meant to be tailored to each customer’s requirements.
The focus on a slimmer chassis tracks a wider direction in commercial display design, where integrators increasingly want signage that sits close to the wall and blends into interiors — lobbies, boutiques and meeting spaces — rather than protruding from them. A thinner, lighter panel can also ease mounting and installation, a recurring consideration on large multi-screen rollouts.
Slim form factors have become a competitive battleground in professional displays, with major signage makers racing to shave depth off panels for retail and corporate installs. By branding an entire range “UltraSlim” and quoting a figure of up to 60 percent thinner than comparable models, PPDS is staking the series’ identity on that trend — though it has yet to publish the detailed depth, brightness and connectivity specifications buyers will use to compare it directly with rivals.
The launch formed part of a wider PPDS presence at InfoComm 2026, billed as the largest professional-AV trade show in North America, which runs June 13–19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Ahead of the show, the company said it would also demonstrate updates to its Philips Wave remote management platform and present the Philips LED Configurator in North America for the first time, alongside a new manufacturer partnership and an accompanying signage series.
Software is central to the pitch. The Signage 7000 Series runs on the same Android SoC and management ecosystem as the rest of the Philips professional portfolio, which PPDS positions as a way for operators to deploy, monitor and update screens across multiple sites from one platform — increasingly a deciding factor for buyers managing signage at scale.
PPDS did not disclose pricing or specific screen sizes for the Signage 7000 Series in the materials shared with media, saying further specifications would follow. The company, which builds its business around commercial and public-venue screens rather than consumer televisions, framed the UltraSlim launch as the start of a new product category rather than a single model — a signal that more displays in the line are likely to follow.
