Kingyoo 60″ LED-backlit Plasma Installation

Just installed a really cool 120″ screen (which works with the software mentioned in this post). I thought its substantive to write a post about the new technology of ‘LED-backlit Plasma Screens’. Developed by LG, manufactured by Kingyoo – both Korean partners, these displays provide excellent contrast ratio, lower seam gaps and yet, much lesser power consumption than traditional plasmas.

We commissioned this project at one of the top universities in Abu Dhabi and the client was really happy with the display. The display is made up using a 2×2 configuration, which results in a 120″ diagonal width and seam gaps as low as 2.5mm.

This product is available in the Middle East by Multitech AV. They can carry out supply, installation, testing and commissioning of the video walls.

A superb interface for a 120″ video-wall, to read sensor outputs.

The Sensor Output reader software

A software interface specially developed for a well-known university in Abu Dhabi, to be displayed on the video wall which was integrated at the same location. The Software reads data from three different kinds of sensors – biometric, location and environmental. The resolution has been set to match the video wall screen size, four widgets are showing the information from sensors and reading live data.

The requirement was roughly told  us that have they needed a software or more of an interface that could actually show that outputs of sensors. This lab is a SMART technology lab, where they have many sensors along with  some proprietary software programs that gather the output data.

The challenge was to query the databases of the three sensors since each had their own unique db, and of a different kind. The interface was designed here in Abu Dhabi, and the four widgets that you see on the screen are actually pulling live data from the sensors. My partner company in India helped us with the backend development, using the node.js framework to program these widgets you see in the pictures.

55″ MLCD with 5.5mm bezel

Orion has introduced a 55″ MLCD screen with just 5.5mm seam gap at a much lesser price than plasma. The OLM 5550 is a great option for FF&E contractors and interior designers, as they were finding it hard to always fit the 40,42 and 46″ configurations.  The OLM 5550 has a frame of 1026mm x 580mm, which gives a far better choice to the fit-out designers as less number of screens are needed to fit a significant area. And all this costs lesser than you’d otherwise pay for.

Ultra Thin Bezel Multi LCD. Breathtaking technology with Full HD and Ultra Narrow Bezel (5.5mm), the OLM-5550 will pioneer the multi display market with seamless tiled display experience and vivid image. Being equipped with eco-friendly DIRECT LED BLU, the 55” FHD multi display consumes less power than conventional CCFL BLU model.
