Backlit Display Structures
Backlit display structures put your graphics in light — illuminated light-box towers and walls that glow with even LED backlighting behind tension-fabric prints. Built from aluminum T-slot with integrated LED and SEG (silicone-edge graphic) fabric, they deliver a premium, high-impact presence that draws the eye across a crowded show floor. Modular Solutions engineers each backlit structure for uniform illumination, easy graphic changes, and reliable, reusable operation.
What Are Backlit Display Structures?
A backlit display structure is an illuminated light box or tower built from aluminum T-slot with integrated LED lighting behind tension-fabric (SEG) graphics. The result is a premium, evenly lit display that stands out on a busy show floor.
Modular Solutions engineers each backlit structure for uniform illumination, easy fabric changes, and durable, reusable operation, with LED, power, and fabric all integrated into the frame. Because it is modular, the structure reconfigures as your graphics and layout change.

Why Choose Modular Aluminum T-Slot Construction
Modular Solutions builds every trade show system from aluminum T-slot extrusion rather than welded or single-use construction. The bolted framework is lightweight for freight, professional in appearance without painting, and reconfigures with hand tools — so one investment reshapes, extends, and repurposes across booth sizes, venues, and campaigns instead of being scrapped after a single show. Graphics, lighting, shelving, and AV mount directly into the profile, and because the structure is modular, it protects your investment as your brand and show schedule evolve. Every system is engineered and built in-house in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about backlit display structures design, integration, and customization.
What is a backlit display structure?
It is an illuminated light box or tower built from aluminum extrusion with integrated LED behind tension-fabric (SEG) graphics, producing an even, premium glow that stands out on a busy show floor.
How even is the illumination?
We engineer the LED layout for uniform, shadow-free backlighting across the whole graphic, avoiding hot spots and dark corners.
Can the graphics be changed?
Yes. Silicone-edge tension-fabric graphics install and swap easily, so you can refresh messaging without replacing the structure or lighting.
What formats are available?
We build backlit walls, illuminated towers, and lit counters in modular sizes, all on the same framework so they combine and reconfigure.
Is it reusable across shows?
Yes. The structure and LED are engineered for repeated setup, teardown, and freight, with replaceable fabric for durable, reusable operation.
Do you build custom backlit structures?
Yes. Our in-house team designs backlit displays around your impact, size, and graphics, engineered and built in Auburn Hills, MI.
