June 24: At InfoComm 2026 in Las Vegas, PPDS, the exclusive global provider of Philips Professional Displays, announced a series of new products and strategic partnerships designed to expand the possibilities of digital display deployments. The announcements introduce advanced AI capabilities, greater installation flexibility, and new opportunities for businesses across a wide range of industries.

PPDS Partners with BrightSign for AI-Ready Signage

A key announcement at the event was PPDS’s strategic collaboration with BrightSign, a global leader in digital signage media players and operating systems. Together, the companies introduced the new Philips Signage 6060 with BrightSign Built-In, offering customers an alternative operating system option that combines high performance, enhanced security, and improved sustainability.

Available in 43-inch, 55-inch, and 65-inch models, the Philips Signage 6060 is designed for diverse environments, including retail, corporate offices, public venues, transportation hubs, and hospitality settings. Each display features a 500-nit UHD 4K panel, ensuring sharp, vibrant, and highly detailed content presentation.

The new series also introduces a slimline design measuring less than 40mm in depth, enabling sleek, close-to-wall installations where aesthetics and space optimization are critical.

BrightSign Integration Enhances Performance and Security

The Philips Signage 6060 represents a major evolution in PPDS’ digital signage portfolio by integrating BrightSign’s flagship all-in-one XS156 player system-on-chip (SoC). Powered by the trusted BrightSignOS™, the displays provide superior control, enhanced security, and improved energy efficiency for both single-site and global deployments.

Customers and channel partners gain access to BrightSign’s complete software ecosystem, including supported content management systems and the free remote device monitoring and management platform, BrightSign Control. These tools allow AV and IT teams to create and deploy content, monitor device health, and remotely manage software and security updates, helping to maximize uptime and extend product lifecycles.

AI Processing Built Directly Into the Display

Equipped with BrightSign Built-In technology, the Philips Signage 6060 leverages the integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) within the XS156 platform to run AI applications directly on the display. This architecture enables faster, smoother AI processing without affecting CPU or GPU performance, ensuring seamless user experiences.

Commenting on the launch, Bruce Wyrwitzke, Senior Director for North America at PPDS, said:

“The new Philips Signage 6060 is a further demonstration of our commitment to support our partners and customers at every turn and for every need, no matter how complex or unique they might be. We’re delighted to have partnered with BrightSign to deliver this incredible new addition to our Philips Signage range.”

Introducing the Philips Signage 7000 Series UltraSlim

PPDS also unveiled the Philips Signage 7000 Series UltraSlim, the company’s thinnest and lightest 4K UHD digital signage range to date. Developed for demanding 24/7 environments, the new series combines premium visual performance with an innovative ultra-slim design.

The displays are available in 43-inch, 50-inch, 55-inch, and 65-inch sizes and support both landscape and portrait orientation. Target applications include retail, corporate environments, hospitality venues, public spaces, and food and beverage establishments.

Featuring a breakthrough chassis design, the 65-inch model measures just 30mm in depth, while the remaining sizes are only 28.5mm deep—up to 60 percent thinner than comparable Philips signage models. Weight reductions are equally significant, with the 43-inch, 50-inch, and 55-inch variants weighing 10 percent less than their 4050Q counterparts, and the 65-inch model weighing 20 percent less.

All models deliver 500 nits of brightness and feature an elegant 11.5mm uniform bezel, creating a refined appearance suitable for premium commercial environments.

AI-Ready, Secure, and Built for Continuous Operation

Powered by a professional Android 16 SoC and equipped with a TOPS 3.0 Neural Processing Unit, the Philips Signage 7000 Series is fully prepared for AI-driven applications while delivering reliable connectivity and enterprise-grade security.

The series also incorporates PPDS’ FailOver technology, which automatically switches to backup content in the event of a primary media player failure, ensuring uninterrupted display operation when continuous communication is essential.

Andrea Barbuti, Global Product Management Lead EMEA at PPDS, commented:

“The new Philips Signage 7000 Series marks a new chapter in our signage display design, delivering visually spectacular performance and presentation across an unparalleled range of use cases. With the all-new slimline design, together with reduced weight, the installation opportunities are limitless.”

Concluding the announcement, Bart Wouters, International Product Manager at PPDS, stated:

“The Philips Signage 7000 Series delivers brilliance and beauty for almost any environment, enhancing and opening new opportunities for an even wider audience. Essentially, it brings all the features you expect from our premium Philips Professional Displays, together with an all-new, ultra-slim design.”
