We currently hold just five (5) units of a 55” Transparent OLED display with projected capacitive (PCAP) touch, located in the USA and available immediately. These units originate from a cancelled order and are therefore offered at a discounted, clearance price, making this an exceptional chance to secure cutting-edge OLED technology without the usual 8+ week lead time.

Managing Director’s Trekking Expedition to Uganda

/

Managing Director’s Trekking Expedition to Uganda Our Managing Director, Chris Bartram, recently undertook an unforgettable trekking expedition to Uganda, combining long‑haul travel, remote landscapes, and close encounters with some of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife. The journey offered not only remarkable natural experiences but also a deeper appreciation of local culture and environments far removed from everyday business life. Click here for a short reel of the experience Worth the long journey The trip began with a demanding international journey from London to Entebbe, travelling via Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) with Ethiopian Airways. After arriving in Uganda, the sense of adventure intensified with a bush plane flight from Entebbe to a remote grass airstrip in Kasese, providing a striking aerial view of the country’s diverse terrain and marking the transition from international travel to true wilderness exploration. The first significant trekking experience took place in Queen Elizabeth National Park, where Chris observed a large family of approximately 20 chimpanzees in their natural habitat in a deep gorge. Watching these intelligent and social animals interact up close was a powerful experience, highlighting the complexity and energy of life in the rainforest. Bespoke Solutions System to create your own solution The journey then continued to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, renowned for its mountain gorillas and challenging terrain. Over two separate treks, Chris encountered two different gorilla families: one group of 16 individuals and, on another day, a smaller family of just six. The second encounter was particularly memorable, with the gorillas passing extremely close, offering a rare and humbling perspective on these powerful yet gentle animals. Beyond the primates, the trip yielded numerous additional wildlife sightings. Along the way, Chris observed hyenas, vultures, hippos, baboons, various monkey species, elephants, and lions, each encounter reinforcing the richness and diversity of Uganda’s ecosystems. Overall, the expedition was demanding, inspiring, and deeply rewarding. It combined physical challenges, remarkable wildlife encounters, and meaningful cultural exchange, making it a truly memorable experience and a powerful reminder of the value of exploration beyond familiar horizons.

CDS Christmas Wrapped 2025: A Year of Growth, Innovation & Milestones Check out our CDS Wrapped for 2025 As the year draws to a close, we’d like to take a moment to reflect on what has been one of the most exciting and transformative years in Crystal Display Systems’ journey. 2025 has been a year defined by innovation, growth, and collaboration — driven by our customers, partners, and the dedication of the CDS team. From launching new technologies to delivering major global projects, here’s our CDS Christmas Wrapped for 2025. A Year of New Technologies & Product Innovation Innovation continues to sit at the heart of everything we do. In 2025, we significantly expanded our technology offering, launching multiple new product ranges and display solutions to meet evolving market demands. This year saw the introduction of circular LED displays, mini LED, transparent MicroLED technology, fine pitch LED, UART and Linux & Android smart displays, and Flexible OLED solutions, further strengthening one of the most diverse display portfolios available today. These additions allow our customers to push creative and technical boundaries across industrial, retail, gaming, signage, and embedded applications.

Design Trends Shaping the Display Market One of the most noticeable trends in 2025 has been the growing demand for flush-fit PCAP touch displays with anti-glare glass as standard. As product design becomes increasingly important, customers are seeking cleaner aesthetics, improved durability, and enhanced usability — and we’ve responded by making flush touch and AG glass a core specification across much of our range. Click here for our testimonials A Year of Strong Growth We’re proud to share that 2025 has also been a year of significant business growth for CDS. Thanks to the continued trust of our long-standing customers and the addition of 102 new customers, we achieved 15% year-on-year sales growth, with an impressive 40,219 items shipped worldwide throughout the year.

Investing in People & Sustainability This year wasn’t just about products and projects — it was also about people and progress. We marked the retirement of Richard Murton, recognising his valued contribution and wishing him all the best in the next chapter. We also invested in sustainability with the installation of solar panels at the CDS headquarters, helping reduce our environmental footprint and support long-term energy efficiency. Looking Ahead to 2026 As we look forward to 2026, development is already well underway on a number of exciting new product ranges. New launches planned for the coming year include SecureVUE, SoloVUE, and SphereVUE, with additional innovations to be announced throughout the year.

How AV Technology is Redefining the In-Store Experience

/

How AV Technology is Redefining the In-Store Experience A Crystal Display Systems Perspective The retail world is shifting fast, and the stores that thrive are the ones embracing this change. At Crystal Display Systems (CDS), we understand that the modern in-store experience must offer more than well-stocked shelves. As e-commerce accelerates, physical retail needs to deliver immersive, memorable, and interactive environments that genuinely connect with customers. Industry insights confirm this trend. Research referenced by Commercial Integrator shows that the demand for more meaningful in-store experiences is rising rapidly—driven by retailers who want to stand out and build deeper engagement. Bridging the Physical-Digital Divide Retailers are increasingly adopting experiential AV technologies—interactive touch displays, digital signage, video walls, AR/VR solutions, and smart kiosks—to merge the digital and physical worlds. This is where CDS shines.Our industrial-grade displays, embedded panel PCs, and interactive systems are built for: 24/7 operation in high-traffic environments Dynamic, high-impact content Interactive, personalised applications According to industry reports, TV displays, audio systems, and interactive kiosks remain top priorities for retailers wanting to elevate the in-store experience. CDS provides the robust hardware foundation that makes these installations reliable, scalable, and ready for long-term commercial use. Click here for our embedded panel PC range Click here for our circular LED displays From Content to Context Modern AV systems are no longer standalone installations—they’re intelligent platforms that link hardware, software, content, and analytics. Industry commentary highlights system value tied to metrics such as: Dwell time Customer engagement Conversion rates Operational efficiency CDS supports this data-driven approach. Our displays, embedded computing platforms, and touchscreen solutions integrate easily with analytics frameworks, automation tools, and content management systems. This ensures retailers gain measurable ROI, not just attractive screens. Operational Excellence Meets Experience Design One challenge retailers often face is misalignment between stakeholders—creative teams, IT, operations, and external AV partners. This can slow progress or create costly mismatches between expectations and execution. At CDS, we operate as a collaborative technology partner rather than just a hardware supplier. We guide clients through: Choosing the right display formats (open-frame, stretched bar-type, panel PC, LED, LCD) Mounting and installation planning Power and thermal considerations Long-term availability and lifecycle support Content and interaction strategy This joined-up approach reduces project friction, ensures smooth rollout, and keeps the in-store experience aligned with strategic business goals. Click here for our stretched displays Click here for our fine pitch LED displays Creating the Next-Generation Retail Environment The brands that will lead the future of retail are those who combine immersive AV technology with measurable business outcomes. As highlighted in recent industry analysis, AV solutions are essential tools for storytelling, customer loyalty, and creating environments that appeal to digitally native shoppers. Our roadmap at CDS reflects this direction, with solutions including: Ultra-high-brightness storefront displays Multitouch panel PCs for interactive zones Fanless embedded systems for low maintenance and high reliability Scalable LED and LCD video wall modules for high-impact flagship spaces Every product is designed to help retailers elevate the in-store experience while delivering operational efficiency. Why This Matters for Retail Clients A retailer partnering with CDS might deploy: Rugged open-frame displays in fitting rooms for virtual product try-ons Immersive LED video walls at store entrances to boost footfall and enhance brand presence Fanless embedded panel PCs for collecting behavioural analytics and feeding CRM insights Self-service kiosks for checkout, loyalty sign-ups, upselling, and product browsing Each of these technologies helps transform passive shoppers into active participants—boosting engagement, dwell time, and conversion. With our industrial-grade reliability, retailers also benefit from reduced downtime, lower total cost of ownership, and easier content refreshes as campaigns evolve. Click here for our Nebula Kiosk Tablets Click here to find out more about our team In Summary Today’s in-store experience is as much about engagement and storytelling as it is about product presentation. With Crystal Display Systems as your trusted technology partner, retailers can confidently create immersive environments that inspire customers, streamline operations, and deliver measurable business value.
