CDS Introduces Dramatic Price Reductions to Transparent Displays

CDS dramatically drop prices for transparent LCD products to encourage the retail market to adopt transparent WOW-factor displays as the market begins to open back up Transparency for Welcoming Retail Back The retail market has been hit hard during Covid times with trade shows all around the world cancelled and shops, bars, restaurants etc not being able to open. As exhibitions go into re-planning and venues begin to reopen, we thought it would be the perfect time to launch our dramatically reduced transparent displays pricelist. Whenever we ask for customer feedback following their transparent installs and case studies, we are constantly told that the transparent display integrated at the attraction, venue, exhibition etc. is always the most talked about piece. This could even be when the transparent display was not originally set to be the “main event” or even the transparent display was an after-thought or a smaller display compared to the whole display integration. This is because transparent displays are still deemed as new, exciting, revolutionary, innovative, all despite the technology being around for several years. Not only this, but they also guarantee to amaze and WOW audiences, and they open a wide range of new opportunities in retail, marketing and much more. In addition to this, there are so many options and possibilities with transparent displays. Sizes, touch options, components or finished products, options for 3D etc. Panel kit solutions are exceedingly popular for the creation of designer’s own models and ideas and the possibilities are endless, especially when clever content creators and integrators come along with incredible plans to optimise the existing technology.

In addition to this, as a part of the service CDS, we also offer some excellent free of charge content, so the customer does not even have to worry about that in the initial design / demonstration stage.

Impressive 3DP Transparent Technology

CDS have created a new Immersive 3DP Transparent Technology What is 3DP Transparent Technology? Our transparent LCDs needing a high amount of backlighting has posed many issues and hurdles for many customers in design and project applications in the past. To help solve these design setbacks, here at CDS we have created our 3DP Transparent Technology. This technology offers a new opportunity for backlighting our transparent LCD displays, by using a high brightness LCD display behind them. As a result, the installer will no longer need such a large showcase design to fit all the LED lighting within it required to backlight large format transparent LCDs. We call this whole new transparent experience ClearVue3DP technology. How does this 3DP Transparent Solution work? The rear high brightness LCD display has matched polarisers to the front transparent LCD, working as a pair, and creating a 3D effect. The high brightness LCD will act as a “mood screen” for a basic video which should be predominantly white. Content on the back should not be too detailed as there will be a refraction with the front screen. Keeping it simple is key as if it has too much going on it will affect screen in front. An object in between the screens would not be a problem at all if this is needed and the distance between the two screens is very subjective to your project/installation. They cannot be too close together due to a possibility of a moire effect. How is the ClearVue3DP offered and installed? Available in landscape or portrait solutions, and no need for additional software or additional glass. The solution can be purchased in component form with both displays consisting of panel and kits for integration. Or as another option, the transparent LCD can be offered in component format combined with an open framed high bright monitor which both will need to be integrated into your own design. This offers up an easier way of integrating for our customers. As well as this we can build the board for the transparent display into the aluminium frame for another ease in stall. Not only this, we can also offer a complete, finished showcase boxed solution with additional LED lighting.

So far, we have seen the 3DP Transparent Technology used in many applications, the most popular being 3D models of people but the opportunities are endless. We have the technology; we just need clever content creators like you for the ideas! This means the larger sizes have been the most popular thus far, the bigger the better! As you may know and have hopefully seen before, here at CDS we offer our transparent LCD panel and kits up to 98 inches!

Transparent Displays without a Back Light – Can it work?

Over the years, many customers have asked us whether transparent LCDs need LED back lighting and the answer is always YES. However, the ways of getting around using a showcase box with lighting are increasing as the technology moves forward and as it gets pushed to its limits by creative designers and implementers. We see some fantastic installs here at CDS from our customers and are always amazed by how they use the “limitations” of the technology to their advantage and make it work for them and their installs in ways we could never have thought possible. From our experience, the more cool white LED back lighting you can get behind a transparent LCD the more transparent it will look. As well as this the darker the environment around the transparent display, the more punchy the content looks! So in a window install, the ambient light from outside as well as the in-store lighting will both affect the performance of the transparent LCD. For years we have advised that transparent displays aren’t the best performing product in shop window applications. Transparent displays can’t reach their full potential in window displays and are not sunlight readable. For transparent LCDs, the more back lighting behind them the better! New ways of back lighting transparent displays can be seen through our transparent 3D creation, the ClearVue 3DP soltuion. This uses a transparent LCD and high bright monitor pairing to create a 3D effect and no need for additional back lighting. Another option is the newly launched transparent OLED, which self emits light! No showcase box needed.

CDS Transparent OLED Screens Offer Many Benefits

Crystal Display Systems Limited is known globally as the preeminent supplier of Translucent (Transparent) display solutions both in kit for and finished showcase boxes, but has now introduced the latest version of the highly engineered and improved Translucent OLED product.  Although the Transparent LCD is the best solution for many applications and lower in cost the OLED has some distinct advantages as highlighted below; The CDS version is brand new for 2020! Despite a number of Transparent OLED screens available the CDS solution is a well engineered thought through solution and not just a display with a base (which can put strain on the connections and affect reliability). The beauty of this emerging technology is it’s quality and visual impact but also the CDS value added results in an optimised solution.  The CDS T-OLED solution is allowing customers to create amazing visual effects and that all elusive WOW factor.  This technology allows Brands and companies to majorly differentiate their brand from all those around them! Amazing visuals and visual Impact! Another of the major benefits of Transparent OLED Screen technology is its visual impact, which is undeniably creates that WOW FACTOR by delivering a stunning effect.   Delivering a stunning 55” Full HD picture with a high contrast ratio that is viewing angle free, a Transparent OLED Screen is ideal for futuristic or high tech environments and even for creating incredible effects for media productions for many applications. The visual effect also lends itself well to a range of premium or luxury environments such as high-end retail, Museums or hotels.  The visual effects from the Transparent OLED technology is ideal for promotional / digital signage applications as well as prop / visual effects, offering an amazing and impactful display solution that only Transparent OLED can achieve. It emits its own light so no backlight needed! The CDS transparent OLED Screen does not require an additional backlight to display an image like T-LCD that require an LED light at the back of the screen.  But the way that Transparent OLED Screens work, they do not need a backlight as the screen is totally self-lit itself. But this Translucent OLED screen is special  as the screen is transparent also, meaning the light source does not interfere with the picture. Without the need for a lightbox or lighting unit behind like T-LCD, Transparent OLED Screens have an incredibly compact and slim depth of screen with a thin bezel that stands on a base unit, without the need for a back or an additional support. This is a merchandiser’s dream product, allowing them to build the base unit into a display to show the screen protrude from their own unit, creating incredible compact displays and making this one of the main benefits of Translucent OLED Screen technology. Interactive Touch versions are available from CDS! When combined with a CDS touchscreen overlay we can create a ‘Interactive Transparent OLED Screen’ for you.  You will know the benefits of making this solution touch interactive to replace a keyboard or mouse etc. resulting in a modern looking and feeling touch interactive Display solution.  We can offer you the rugged Infra-Red (IR) touchscreen panels with small raised bezel or the latest PCAP 40 touch point Projected Capacitive flat screen touch.  The pure glass IR solution gives better transparency whereas PCAP does block some transparency.  The choice of touch will depend on the customer requirements and application, but CDS can advise, where required, appropriately. The Screen IS Transparent even when off! Unlike Transparent LCD Screens, the screen of a Transparent OLED Display is completely see-through, even when switched off. A Transparent LCD Screen, which requires a backlight to display, switches to a blacked-out screen when there is no light source or power. This means that when the Transparent LCD unit is switched off, the image is not visible on the screen. But is should be highlighted (which many companies do not!) that although it is transparent when off it is not a purely clear view through the screen giving is a sort of grey / dark finish so anything behind the screen is slightly blurred / blocked.  So we would not recommend this as a selling point of the technology as it is at its best when the vibrant images are on the screen.  We can show you the product at our Headquarters near London or come to you with the solution for specific panels but please do not believe the screen is completely transparent and a great selling point when off as it is not practical from a wow factor point of view as viewers would be disappointed!
