We thought the halls of the Orange County Convention Center were more crowded than ever for InfoComm 2019, and we were right. AVIXA – the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association – says this year’s InfoComm show in Orlando logged 44,129 registered attendees, up about 1,300 over last year in Las Vegas. […]
The tech research firm IHS Markit says the day will come when big microLED display walls will not just be affordable by Arab royalty, Russian oligarchs and NBA free agents. […]
AVIXA – the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association – says last week’s InfoComm show in Orlando logged 44,129 registered attendees, up modestly from the last Florida show and about 1,300 over last year in Las Vegas. The show gets roughly half the attendees who go to Integrated Systems Europe (ISE had 81,000), which runs in February and is co-owned by AVIXA. […]
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! […]
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. […]
InfoComm is less than a couple of months out and I have sorted out my air, hotel and press registration, which means I can now start to look at why I am going and what I will see that I have not already seen this year at NRF, ISE, ShopTalk and DSE. Probably not much, but I tend to have more time to poke around at this event than, certainly, DSE. […]
InfoComm18 was one of our most successful trade shows yet, partly due to us bringing home a Best of Show Award – Digital Signage for the second consecutive year! Mvix wins again! http://mvixdigitalsignage.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/OrYPHImS-gB1DBsP9.mp4 The 2018 award was presented to Mvix for our content-rich, cloud-based digital signage software, XhibitSignage.

I liked this nice concept NEC had at its booth last week at InfoComm – a menu wall using projection on a textured, wood surface. This is very different from a row of LCD menus set together in an array. In this case, a laser projector beamed the menu options on a dark wood feature wall. […]
I thought this was an interesting way for a display company to show what pixel pitch differences mean, not only in the tightness of the image when seen from a distance (I was maybe 12-15 feet back) but also the brightness you get when you have more LEDs packed into a module. You can see the tightest pitch module is noticeably brighter. It also costs waaaaaay more than the one at the other end. […]
Just going back through my notes and pix from last week at InfoComm, and remembered how the focal point of LG’s big, impressive booth was OLED displays. The tech has been around for a while now, and LG continues to be the only major display company to drive organic displays as a commercial option. […]
One interesting thing I spotted at InfoComm, which I don’t think I’ve seen before, was a dual-sided display in the Samsung booth. Now, back-to-back screens is not at all new. Digital OOH street furniture and mall directories are good examples of well-established use-cases. […]
