The high resolution and high definition of the Company's displays give ahigh-quality image suitable for advertising images and video as well as publicinformation displays. They are visible at short viewing distances as well asacross larger venues making them particularly suitable for large retail outlets,shopping malls, control rooms and transport concourses where customers might bewithin 10m of the display, a distance at which LED display technologies becomeunsuitable. The high brightness means that the displays are also easily visiblein the kind of high ambient light environments where conventional LCD or plasmatechnologies become unusable. Screen Technology's patent protected technology uses moulded optical fibre tilesto produce seamless large displays using standard production LCD panels. Thescaleable modular technology enables screen to be built in a wide variety ofshapes and of theoretically unlimited size.
