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. […]
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. […]
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. […]
This is a tiled LG 2 by 6 OLED video wall built into the lobby wall of an office tower in downtown Vancouver, BC. The displays are set into a bamboo wood wall set against a granite wall. They replaced a physical building directory. […]
If you were unable to get to Integrated Systems Europe, but very badly want and need to know what all was shown and demo’d there, you are in luck. The market research/consultancy firm Futuresource had several people fanned out in the many halls of the Amsterdam RAI, and has produced a comprehensive 63-page report on all the tech on show. […]
I managed to squeeze in a few podcast interviews in and around ISE last week, and this is the first – a long-planned and finally realized talk with Sam Phenix, who is the VP of research and development for Planar and Leyard. That puts her in the middle of everything happening in the display market right now, from LCD and OLED to light field displays. […]
Good … freaking … Lord!!! Here’s a video of the absolutely massive curving OLED video wall that was the unmissable eye candy for LG at its booth earlier this month at CES in Vegas. I have not been briefed on what LG will do at ISE – which is also a monster trade show. […]
Last year, CES visitors to LG’s stand walked along an OLED screen canyon. This year, there’s an OLED waterfall … kinda sorta. LG’s sprawling CES booth, by the main entrance to the Las Vegas Convention Center, has 260 OLEDs in a dramatic, wavy waterfalls-like set-up. […]
First there was OLED. Then QLED, which looks like OLED but is actually LCD tech. Now there is also ULED, which is like QLED, but different. […]
As someone who got started in digital signage 20 years ago by putting screens in skyscraper elevators – single 12-inch screens that cost $2,500 each – it’s a little freaky to read about an elevator that has its walls and ceilings all lined with 55-inch OLEDs. This is a 360 video – you have to watch on your smartphone to get the 360 effect. Online, it looks very weird. […]
Via Display Daily A German testing lab has released results of tests that verify Samsung’s QLED technology doesn’t suffer any of the burn-in problem of some other flat panel display tech. […]
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. […]
LAS VEGAS – It’s very hot. The Las Vegas Convention Center has renovated the food services area in the north and central hall areas so it looks more polished and the the options don’t all lead to desperation eating. But there’s still nowhere enough seating. […]
The buzz around Integrated Systems Europe is that the show, which is sort of on now but really opens tomorrow, could push past 80,000 attendees. That’s a lot of people to squeeze into the RAI conference center in Amsterdam, even with a jumbo temporary tent out front and a new exhibit are that has taken out most of the food court outside the digital signage hall. […]
Here’s a video and some good pix showing the LG OLED canyon that leads into the company’s mega-booth at CES this week. The OLED Canyon has 90 concave and 156 convex open frame screens. Visitors walk through a 28m long twisting canyon trail and experience images produced by a total of two billion self-emissive OLED pixels. […]
