There have been a few small gatherings here and there in recent weeks, but the seriously downsized and hybrid live/virtual Integrated Systems Europe event this week in Barcelona provides a glimpses at what going to trades shows might be like in the second half of this year. […]
A pair of upcoming webinars look at QSR technology and deploying big retail networks. The drive-thru one is run by the custom display firm GDS, and is Wed. May 26th. […]
In my virtual wander along the exhibitor aisles of SID Display Week, I am looking for display tech that is either a big advance on what’s already out there, or very different. I came across a Silicon Valley start-up called Brelyon that has an immersive display that delivers an immersive virtual reality experience, without the goofy-looking, uncomfortable headset. […]
MicroLED has received a ton of buzz in digital signage circles the last 2-3 years because of the proposition of building big seamless video walls that look as good as LCD or OLED. The big barrier to widespread adoption has been cost – driven in part by a need to make production more efficient and speedy, while also minimizing production flaws. […]
This a demo video from the SID Display Week virtual stand for an Illinois company called Sun Vision Display, which is showing an outdoor-rated LCD display that uses reflective LCD technology. The company uses reflective LCD technology to work WITH bright sunlight, instead of cranking up the brightness on a conventional LED backlight array to overpower sunlight’s glare. […]
I am looking at a big, curved monitor as I type this, and while it seemed crazily large when I first got it, I’ve had it long enough now to vaguely think, “I’d maybe get something bigger if I could.” I would not, for example, say no to getting a real-world version of this prototype being touted at SID Display Week by the Taiwan microLED supplier PlayNitride. […]
Japan Display or JDI – a specialty LCD display manufacturer owned by Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi – had some of the more impressive tech at Display Week that last time it was an in-person show. This week, the company has a virtual stand at the event and I was intrigued by a link to a transparent display. […]
E Ink has a stand at the virtual SID Display Week, and this video (below) walks through where the company is at with things like showing color and animations. Every year, the product gets a little closer to something that competes favorably with more established technology, most notably LCD. […]
The Society For Information Display’s Display Week is now live – virtual like most things, still. It is a display nerd fest that is aimed much more at engineers than end-users, and it is a serious challenge for people like me who never even mused about a career in advanced polymers or electrical engineering. […]
Audience measurement is a huge factor in the out of home media business – both analog and digital – and the global volunteer body that’s trying to herd the media company cats has developed a set of guidelines designed to help more easily sell the mediums. […]
Integrated Systems Europe has released the list of on-premise exhibitors for its two-day in-person event at the start of June in Barcelona, and it is reasonable to describe the list as modest. Some would suggest a shadow of its normal self, but that’s the situation, not the show. Hopefully, February 2022 in Barcelona will see lotsa people and exhibitors. […]
The regional events Integrated Systems Europe planned to stage in June in Amsterdam and Munich have been scrapped, but similar events planned that month for London and Barcelona are still going ahead. Mike Blackman, Managing Director for Integrated Systems Events, the company that runs the show for owners AVIXA and CEDIA, says the ongoing pandemic forced the decision. […]
The Taiwan tech company Lextar has taken the curious step of announcing what will be on display LAST WEEK at the Touch Taiwan trade show – noting some interesting new mini and micro LED display products. More normally, tech marketers would push out this kind of information ahead of a show, or on opening day. […]
The Digital Signage Federation (DSF) and the Digital Signage Experts Group (DSEG, or for total simplicity, the Brawns), have started something called Digital Signage Certification Week – a period in June intended to promote credentialing and professional development in digital signage and experiential technologies. […]
The global Digital Signage Awards for 2020 have been announced, with the grand prize going to a concept apparel store in Warsaw, Poland, called MODIVO. The store is digital first – a physical manifestation in many ways of online shopping. The store’s visible space looks like a high-end hotel lobby. […]
