I saw this in a mall. It's a Santa photo spot but the walls were made out of a led like surface. I wish we could move to this eventually.(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/05/21bd6b55f2e0631208414b86f79869af.jpg)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/05/ea050bc8755f2695b6bd67f10affa94f.jpg)
This would be nice to have as certain elements to the show. I wouldn't want it as the whole thing.

I saw something like that in a mall too (actually looks like its the exact same unit).
I went and looked at it right up close, the walls are covered with are LED display panels. (looked to me like it was multiple smaller panels put together to make a large one for each wall)
Pretty cool stuff
-
If it really is LED, are they producing a brown color?
-
could it be back-lit material? was it animated?
-
It was probably built from LCD panels. They could be OLED panels but that is currently rather expensive.

@Steve Gase:
It was indeed animated, every so often 'pictures' would change, sometimes looking like a log cabin, sometimes more like a Victorian cottage. (they didn't just swap out, the change would start at the bottom and 'build' up the walls..someone really put some effort into that thing!)
@tbone321
Like I say I looked at one right up close (like 6 inches away) because I needed to see what it was :) , definitely not LCD.. they were tiny RGB LEDs spaced around 1/4" apart (I had meant to take a closeup pic, but forgot)
@chrisatpsu
The brown was made with a combination of red/green/blue

Not this, but something similar:

If it's producing brown, then it's using a special controller that's capable of adjusting HSL, as well as RGB.
To the best of my understanding typical RGB christmas lights stuff, cannot get a brown out of the RGB LEDS, since they only adjust for RGB levels.
-
As you said, RGB Christmas stuff can't produce brown because there is no black. Without black, you cannot control HSL. These panels must be composed of clear lensed LED's on a black background. Our nodes are white or clear lensed LED's on a white or tan board and where there is no black, there is no brown.

I have a feeling that whatever they were using works more like a screen/display type setup, than just a controller & RGB LED matrix.

Yep they were just that. clear LEDs, black panel.

I would have loved to see "behind the scenes" - the system(s) that were running it.
