First-Of-Its-Kind Prysm Display Solution Featured In American Eagle Outfitters SoHo Flagship Store

Life-size displays enhance immersive brand experience for customers

Prysm, Inc. today announced that American Eagle Outfitters has chosen the company's free-form display solution for its flagship store in the heart of Manhattan's SoHo district. This is the first retail installation of the Prysm Laser Phosphor Display (LPD) solution.

Prysm's high-definition stackable display building blocks enable American Eagle Outfitters to deliver high-impact brand imagery throughout the store. Multiple displays standing seven-feet tall have been arranged throughout the three-story, 24,000 square-foot retail space. There are three columns in the main entrance working as both window displays and in-store branding. Four columns are presented at the escalator gateways, guiding customers to each level of the store.

"Prysm displays create a more engaging and immersive brand experience for the retail environment," said Amit Jain, CEO of Prysm. "Our solution is unique in that it offers a spectacular image at any viewing angle with the ability to create any size and shape display."

Prysm's display solution is made up of four key components which can be customized for any creative project.

  • One or more display building blocks
  • Image processor
  • User-friendly set-up and remote monitoring software
  • Flexible frame options

At the core of the Prysm LPD display solution is a 25" diagonal building block. Solid-state lasers deliver brilliant image quality for even the fastest action video content, which is viewable from nearly a 180-degree angle, while using up to 75 percent less power than traditional backlit or projection technology-based products. Since Prysm's display solution uses less power, generates less heat and has no consumables to monitor or replace, infrastructure costs related to space planning and air conditioning are lower. In addition to lowering total cost of ownership and operation for customers, Prysm's display solution exceeds industry standards for energy use and environmental impact.

"We're very excited to be part of American Eagle Outfitters retail merchandising plans," said Dana Corey, vice president of sales of Prysm. "American Eagle Outfitters marks our first retail installation, so serving them is an important milestone for the company as we ramp up our business."
