LED displays.

Following the Industry’s LED LED displays are hard to miss and seemed to make up the lion’s share of exhibitors at InfoComm 2012’s digital signage zone. This provides clear indication of the growth of indoor/outdoor LED displays. One exhibitor highlighted that in Shenzhen alone, there are over one thousand LED manufacturers. New York’s Times Square and even the Las Vegas Strip provide an excellent show case for this technology. Why did LED-based products play a large role at InfoComm 2012? It’s the only viable technology to provide sunlight readable displays at a reasonable distance. Smaller LEDs are available for close proximity viewing. Historically purchasing LED displays has been an expensive hobby and with demand set to increase, the price will drop and we’ll start seeing more screens being integrated on buildings, billboards and other facilities. With mobile interaction and the integration of social media, the content will undoubtedly set to improve making this technology an exciting platform to work from. Now, all we need is for governments to sign off on making personal information publicly available and we’ll be able to make scenes from the Minority Report a reality - but with various privacy laws that won’t ever happen.
