May 10, 2006—Planar Systems, Inc., a worldwide leader in flat-panel display systems, is expanding its open-frame family of displays by adding products featuring superior brightness for digital signage, and streaming video capabilities for indoor kiosks, the company says.
Ideally suited for the retail and hospitality industries, the new LB1500R and LB1503R models are designed to give kiosk integrators and OEMs bright, attention-grabbing displays that attract and entice customers to view content.
Featuring brightness of 550cd/m2,—almost twice as bright as standard displays—the LB1500R and LB1503R attract attention from a distance, increasing visibility and ultimately reaching a wider audience, says Planar. The LB line is a new addition to Planar’s existing LX family, including the LA and LC designs, developed to fulfill ATM, retail and ticketing kiosk needs for challenging indoor and outdoor environments.
As kiosks and digital signage implementations become increasingly common, retailers, integrators and OEMs are looking for new ways to gain a competitive edge, while maximizing their investments. With the new LB open-frame displays, Planar enables a more compelling delivery of marketing content with intuitive, interactive and user-friendly solutions to engage customers.
