ISE 2017: digital signage and displays

With ISE 2017 just a few days away, here’s a selection of some of the new display and digital signage products to be seen on the show floor.

Absen’s HDV series, designed for the corporate market, is being unveiled for the first time in Europe at ISE 2017. With a depth of 65mm, the panel boasts quick and easy front access to simplify and speed up maintenance. Three models boast brightness of up to 1000 nits and a refresh rate of 3840Hz, with pixel pitch ranging from 1.25mm (for the HDV1.2) to 1.92mm (HDV1.9). Each HDV module is imbued with the strength of its distinctive honeycomb cellular design, to aid flatness and prevent warping across its 160° ultra-wide viewing angle.

Among the five new projectors being announced at ISE by Digital Projection are two new lamp-free models for its 3D-capable E-Vision range, offering picture-in-picture as well as edge-blending and geometry correction as standard, alongside a real-time clock for automation. The Digital Projection E-Vision Laser 4K-UHD is a single-chip DLP projector, adding a 7,500-lumen option with 4K resolution. The new E-Vision Laser 10K adds greater brightness to the range, delivering 10,000 lumens at WUXGA resolution.

Depending on usage, power can be sourced from battery or even solar panels.
