Information related to accessories that match the outfit can be provided for convenience.

A mirror display that suggests beauty tips and information on makeup according to the user’s schedule, skin type and weather will also be revealed. The most unique part of the mirror display is that it reflects the user just like a mirror through the use of hi-tech reflecting panels.

In addition, a smart LED signage solution with higher definition will be exhibited. The product has a high resolution with a pixel pitch(space between pixels) of 1.5㎜ and 2.5㎜. It can be set up indoors, making it possible to be used in the lobbies of shopping malls or large scale displays.

Samsung is also planning to show various LED signage products. “We are planning to suggest ideas of various usages of our signage products at the IFA. By introducing Europe to LED smart signage, we are determined to push into the global digital signage market.”
