How a holographic fan display works
Spinning LEDs, perfectly timed, and your eyes do the rest
A holographic fan display has LED strips mounted on blades that spin hundreds of times a minute. As each blade sweeps around, its LEDs flash in sync with the blade's exact position. Your eyes hold each flash for a split second, so the light blends into one solid image that seems to hang in the air.
- LED blades spinStrips of LEDs rotate at high speed inside a protective enclosure.
- Content is mapped to positionSpecially prepared video tells each LED when to light up and in what color.
- Your eyes blend it togetherPersistence of vision turns the flashes into a floating image. The dark background and open gaps make it look like it hangs in space.
Strictly speaking, these are persistence-of-vision LED displays rather than true holograms. We'd rather you know exactly what you're buying, and we'll show you one in person first.

Holographic display FAQ
Questions about 3D holographic displays
Still deciding? The fastest way to know is to see one running.
Request a DemoWhat is a 3D holographic display?
A 3D holographic fan display uses rapidly rotating LED blades and specially prepared digital content to create the appearance of images, products, logos or animations floating in space. It's used for retail advertising, product displays, showrooms, events and promotional installations.
Are holographic displays real holograms?
Most commercially available holographic fan displays are persistence-of-vision LED displays rather than true holograms. The rapidly moving LEDs and specially designed content create the illusion of an image floating in open space.
Can my company's logo appear as a hologram?
Yes. Logos and other branded assets can be converted into content designed for holographic displays, including animated versions that spin, pulse or build in.
Can you show my products on the display?
Yes. Products can be photographed, rendered in 3D, animated or converted into display-ready content depending on the project.
Do I have to manage the display from a phone app?
Not with HoloCare™. Our managed content subscription means you tell us what you want to promote and we prepare and upload the content for you, so you don't have to learn the software or convert files yourself.
Can the content be changed after installation?
Yes. HoloCare plans can include managed video uploads, promotional changes, seasonal content, content scheduling, software assistance and remote technical support.
Do I have to buy the holographic display outright?
Different purchase and managed-service options may be available. We offer system ownership as well as HoloCare plans for customers who want ongoing content management, updates and support.
How much does a holographic display cost?
It depends on the size and number of displays, the enclosure and mounting, how much custom content you need and whether you add a HoloCare plan. We'll evaluate your space and give you a quote built for your project.
Can I see a holographic display before I buy?
Yes. We offer live demonstrations for qualified businesses, and we can show your own logo on the display.
Can you manage displays across multiple locations?
Yes. We can deploy compatible displays across several locations and coordinate branded content and promotional campaigns between them.
