LCD ELECTRONIC DISPLAYS

LCD (Liquid Crystal Diode) technology is what runs most of the screens on laptop computers. In LCDs, a flourescent backlight sends light through its liquid crystal molecules and a polarizing substrate. LCDs are very sharp, offer good colour, are very long lived and consume very little power. They are thin and lightweight. They are also free of burn-in. LCDs are available as touch screens for use in interactive applications. Maximum screen size is currently 80". If your display is always on, LCD is an excellent choice.

LCDs are suitable for a large variety of display needs

• Advertising in shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, retail and other establishments
• Multimedia presentations at conferences, meetings and in training classes
• Presentations in executive boardrooms
• Home theatre systems
• Promotion of services in banks and other financial institutions
• Information in theatres, museums, universities, religious organizations and other institutions
• Information and directions in hospitals and other health services
• Information at airports, railroad and other transportation terminals
• Control room and command centre applications in water and electrical power distribution allowing plant operators to view network conditions and to take action before serious problems arise

LCDs may be used in signage display systems consisting of both interactive and non-interactive displays and may be included in systems using other types of electronic displays. Monitors may be located to inform employees of the day’s sales campaigns and other activities, other displays may advise on conference room locations or may inform customers and visitors of sales in different departments. Interactive touch screens of building plans may be provided at different locations. Data for all screens may come from a single source via cables. The system can be managed over the Internet to allow for remote content revisions and updates and to change schedules, all from a single central source. Retail stores and corporate headquarters may play pre-recorded information to customers and employees, providing up to date information or entertainment or both.
