How to Install a Double Sided Screen

In modern commercial displays, double-sided screen are widely used in shopping malls, store windows, and outdoor advertising due to their dual-sided display, space-saving design, and increased advertising exposure. Compared to single-sided displays, they allow brand messages to be transmitted simultaneously from two directions, delivering greater communication value.

As a professional digital signage manufacturer, Yetronic will provide detailed steps and key points on how to install a double-sided screen in this article, helping you understand the entire process from equipment selection to installation.

Why Choose a Double-Sided Screen

In digital signage applications, traditional single-sided screens can only display content in one direction, while double-sided screens can display advertisements or information in two directions simultaneously, improving communication efficiency and saving equipment costs. Taking Yetronic as an example, our double-sided screens can be used in various scenarios, including store windows, shopping aisles, outdoor advertising, and hanging installations.

Overview of Advantages

Enhanced Exposure: Users can see the screen content from both sides (for example, in shopping mall corridors, inside and outside glass windows), improving information coverage.

Reduced Equipment Costs: Compared to installing two single-sided screens, a single double-sided screen can achieve two-way coverage.

Space Savings: Suitable for applications where space is limited or a simple installation is desired.

Brand and Customization Advantages: As a double-sided screen factory/OEM/ODM supplier, Yetronic offers customized design, size, brightness, operating system, and other services.

Pre-Installation Preparation

Pre-installation preparation for a double-sided screen is crucial to ensure safety, installation effectiveness, and subsequent operational stability. The following are the key preparatory steps:

Model Selection and Requirements Verification

1. Determine the installation scenario: window, shopping mall atrium, outdoor billboard, ceiling suspension, etc.

2. Determine parameters such as size, thickness, brightness, and operating system.

3. Determine the installation method: wall-mounted, suspended, vertical, ceiling-mounted, etc.

4. Determine requirements for a content management system (CMS), network connectivity, and remote updates. Most double-sided screens have built-in media players and remote update capabilities.

5. Confirm customization services, prototype approval, delivery cycles, and after-sales support with the double-sided screens factory OEM/ODM supplier Yetronic.

Pre-Installation Site Preparation

1. Check whether the installation location structure can bear the weight and whether the hanging or wall mounting points meet the equipment weight and safety requirements.

2. Determine the power supply location and whether data/network cables are reserved.

3. If used outdoors, also consider requirements for waterproofing, sand protection, sun protection, and high temperature resistance.

4. Ensure appropriate light shielding or ambient brightness conditions: For high-brightness scenes, the screen brightness should not be too low.

5. Put safety isolation measures in place before installation to ensure worker safety.

Step-by-Step Installation of a Double-Sided Screen

The following describes the installation process in detail, using a typical hanging installation scenario as an example. The screen is being installed as a Yetronic “hanging double-sided screen display.”

Step 1: Install the Hanging Rod/Bracket

1. Follow the installation instructions and secure the hanging rod/bracket to the ceiling or structural beams, ensuring verticality and firmness.

2. Check that the bracket conceals cables (data and power cables) to maintain aesthetics. High-quality double-sided screens often feature concealed power and data cable channels.

3. Adjust the horizontal and vertical alignment to ensure the screen is not tilted after installation.

Step 2: Screen Installation

1. Hang or mount the double-sided screen on the bracket, ensuring the clips/bolts are securely fastened.

2. Because it is a double-sided screen, ensure that the viewing angles on both sides are symmetrical and unobstructed.

3. Connect the power cable, network cable (LAN/WiFi), and data cable, and hide and organize them as required.

4. After securing, check that the device is stable and free of shaking.

Step 3: Initial Setup

1. Power on the device and access the operating system (such as Android, Windows, or a pre-installed CMS).

2. Configure the content management system, network connection, and remote control parameters.

3. Calibrate the two screens to ensure they display content synchronously or separately as needed (some products support different content on each side).

4. Adjust display parameters such as brightness and contrast. If using a high-brightness double-sided screen for windows, you may also need to enable “Solar Mode” or “High Light Mode.”

Step 4: Testing and Acceptance

1. Check that content on both sides plays correctly, there is no color difference, and there are no blind spots.

2. Check that the network remote update function is functioning properly.

3. Check that the audio (if equipped with a speaker) is working.

4. Check the device temperature and heat dissipation, especially when used outdoors or in direct sunlight.

5. If using an indoor double-sided screen for shopping malls or an outdoor double-sided screen for advertising, also check the environmental compatibility (temperature difference between inside and outside, IP rating, etc.).

Step 5: Daily Maintenance Recommendations

1. Clean the screen surface regularly to prevent dust accumulation that may affect the viewing experience.

2. Check that the mounting screws and brackets are not loose. Monitor device operating status (temperature, power supply, voltage, and network).

3. When updating content, it is recommended to use the CMS provided or recommended by the double-sided screen manufacturer to avoid compatibility issues.

4. For outdoor screens, pay attention to sealing, waterproofing, and lightning protection.

Installation Details for Different Application Scenarios

1. Store Windows — High-Brightness Double-Sided Screens for Windows

Store windows typically experience strong sunlight, requiring high outward brightness. A brightness of 700 cd/m² or higher is recommended.

Use an ultra-thin model to minimize the impact on the window’s aesthetics (i.e., ultra-thin double-sided screen displays).

Configure sunshades or anti-reflective glass to enhance visibility.

During installation, ensure both indoor and outdoor electrical safety and cable protection.

2. Mall Aisles/Indoors — Indoor Double-Sided Screens for Malls

Malls, with their dense traffic flow, are typical applications for double-sided screens. Key considerations:

The cabinet and mounting method should be aesthetically pleasing and coordinate with the mall’s decor.

Brightness should be moderate, approximately 400-700 cd/m² relative to indoor lighting.

The content management system should facilitate multi-screen linkage and remote control within the mall.

The mounting height, viewing angle, and sight distance should be designed appropriately to ensure effective dissemination of advertising content.

3. Outdoor Advertising – Double-Sided Screens for Advertising

The outdoor environment is more challenging, requiring protection from sun, rain, temperature fluctuations, and dust. Installation Notes:

Use models with high brightness and a high protection rating (such as IP65/IP66). These products often mention outdoor-specific packaging in their product descriptions.

Consider cabinet heat dissipation, shatter-proof glass, anti-glare and reflection, waterproofing, dustproofing, and lightning protection.

The mounting bracket or column must meet outdoor wind load standards.

Content updates should consider network stability and centralized control of multiple screens.

4. Hanging Method – Hanging Double-Sided Screen Display

The hanging installation method offers visual impact and high space utilization. Recommended installation method:

Pre-embedded load-bearing brackets/slide rails/hanging rods in the ceiling structure.

Cables are hidden within the hanging rods, maintaining an aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.

We recommend ultra-thin screens to avoid bulky hanging devices.

Regularly check the hanging rigging and bolt tightness.
