At the best of times, using an interactive screen can be a slightly dodgy experience because of the presence of dirt, grime, bacterial build-up and other stuff you really don’t even want to think about. […]
Here is some mildly encouraging news – while North America and Europe are turning into big quarantine zones, China is coming out of that phase and technology manufacturing is getting back to normal. […]
UK-based research firm Informa is suggesting narrow-bezel LCD video wall displays are still relevant and attractive despite many to most display manufacturers starting to heavily promote direct view LED as a new alternative. […]
Few retail verticals need digital signage the way cannabis retailing needs it. You have a wide range of products emerging from a black market into licensed main street, mainstream retailing and a whole bunch of new customers whose collective understanding doesn’t extend much beyond knowing they won’t get arrested for buying it. […]
Putting displays on vending machines and appliances for digital signage purposes is not new, but I don’t THINK I have seen an application that sees the fancy coffee machine in workplaces doubling up as a messaging screen. […]

Many people, myself included, have expressed a lot of interest and enthusiasm for LG’s transparent LED film, which has been shown at numerous trade shows but has not really shown up away from exhibit halls. […]
I was banging out a post, singing the praises of a recent video wall job done for a copper company at a trade show, until I noticed a pilot comment on Linkedin that noted what was done was pretty much a clone of a fixed installation in Germany. […]
One of the challenges any technology company faces in penetrating a vertical market is crossing the divide from selling something that would be nice to have, to offering something that is seen as essential. […]
Direct view LED manufacturer Daktronics evidently sees microLED as part of its indoor display future, having announced it was part of a Series A investment round in X Display Company (XDC), a Raleigh-Durham, NC start-up that “creates and owns leading intellectual property (IP) and capabilities in microLED mass transfer technology.

Every year, the UK-based consulting and research firm Futuresource Consulting sends a team of market analysts to walk the many halls of the RAI in Amsterdam to view and review what’s on show at ISE.
