Here are a couple of different digital merchandising displays put together for the Family Fare supermarket chain by another Grand Rapids’ MI-based company, Freshwater Digital. […]
Tons of great conversations and product demos on Thursday at InfoComm 2019. While it is very, very accurate to say there was/is not a whole pile that is strikingly new at this trade show, as you might expect, when you dig in, there’s lots going on and lots of subtle but meaningful improvements or innovations. […]
You know direct view LED is catching on in a big way with the pro AV crowd when companies known for projectors have big LED displays as focal points of booths. That was the case at InfoComm with Optoma and with Digital Projection, which has, umm, projection in its name. The latter has had LED in its product line for a while, but I don’t recall this prominence. […]
It appears LG’s next big thing to be showcased at InfoComm this week will be quite familiar to much of that show’s pro AV crowd. Transparent OLED has been around for several years, and definitely demo’d at trade show booths, but LG Business Solutions says it is officially launching its commercial, 55-inch digital signage display for the US market this week. […]
The high-end fine-pitch LED manufacturer SiliconCore is the latest firm to announce a product that adds a coating to protect fragile LED chips. The company’s InfoComm presence will include displays that use its LISA technology – “a proprietary surface protection layer that guard the LEDs from contact (or impact) damage, without compromising the brightness or image fidelity. […]
It is InfoComm week, and this year the show is in Orlando once again, as it is every second year. The weather forecast says high 80s, high humidity and thunderstorms – so if you venture outdoors you are going to be soaked either by perspiration or passing storms. Always fun! […]
Here’s a couple of examples of low-resolution LED display applications that use blend with fabric or film to create soft, diffused visuals that are meant as motion backdrops or accents. The first is a fixture by the NYC printing company Duggal, which has a digital wing and created an interesting spin-out product called . […]
The retail innovation consultancy HighStreet Collective has launched what it calls a Living Retail Lab, a unique project inside a city market in High Street’s hometown of Atlanta. The boutique consultancy has also formalized a partnership with NEC, to use that company’s retail-centric intelligence analytics platform, called ALP, at the lab. […]
Following up on that post about seeing a big BMO LED wall while on a layover, I also popped by the lobby of consulting giant Deloitte’s main Toronto office to see a video wall in its reception area that a friend said was interesting. The wall on the mezzanine level, where visitors check in, shows real-time graphics on things like availability of desks. […]
I forgot when I had a 12-hour (planned) layover in Toronto a few weeks ago that I took a little time to check out some digital signage installs I had heard about, but not seen. Looking for a photo reminded me. This is a branch of the Bank of Montreal, street-level at the Manulife Centre in midtown Toronto. […]
LG is a bit cheekily re-announcing and re-marketing the vast videowall installation at Orlando’s airport that uses some 700 of its smart display screens. It pushed out a press release this morning encouraging AV pros coming in to Orlando International Airport next week for InfoComm 2019 to have a look. […]
Planar has resumed marketing a transparent OLED, about five years after first launching a product and then pulling it because of supply issues from the original manufacturer/supplier. […]
In the past year or so I have really started to notice a lot of big printed graphics make way for LED in trade show booths, and not just for display industry shows. This is the GlaxoSmithKline booth at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, held recently in Chicago. The digital work was done by Fusion CI Studios (the small shop best known for its CGI waterfalls). […]
Another robotic LED wall has surfaced, though this one is much smaller and indoors. It is what I assume is a demo from the Chinese LED display manufacturer PJ Link. You may recall Coca-Cola bankrolled a very ambitious robotics-driven LED in Times Square that, as predicted by people who knew better, ran into reliability issues when faced with the weather and everything else New York throws at it. […]
When I was at DSE a couple of months ago, I had a high room with a Strip and west view, and every morning I’d see off in the distance a huge LED display being tested and perhaps burned in on the side of the Palms resort. […]
