LIGHTHOUSE TECHNOLOGIES TO SHOW HIGH-RESOLUTION PANELS AND NEW CREATIVE PRODUCTS AT PLASA08

UK – 11th August 2008 – This September, Lighthouse Technologies’ returns to the UK’s premier show for new technology within the entertainment, live event, corporate, architectural and installation industries to demonstrate its state-of-the-art, high resolution R4-B and R6-B LED panels, as well as two of its new creative display products, the Tile and Mesh on Stand E81.

R4-B is a 4mm pixel pitch, black-faced panel and R6-B is a 6mm pixel pitch, black-faced panel. Both have brought a new dimension to the already superb picture quality of Lighthouse LED screens.

By combining a superfine resolution with Lighthouse’s new 3-in-1 black-faced Surface-Mount Device (SMD) LED, a much better contrast level and visual performance have been achieved. The lightweight and slim casing design makes these panels ideal for rental applications and they can also be easily installed and integrated, thus providing the best possible return on investment for customers.

The black casing of the SMD provides a truer black level within the displayed image and a contrast ratio of 3300:1 and 3800:1 respectively. The panels are able to run at lower temperatures and therefore consume less power.

Each panel has 2000 nits of brightness, enabling it to cope well with ambient light levels, a horizontal viewing angle of 140 (+70/-70), vertical viewing angle of 90 (+40/-50) and employ the single king pin for fast rigging making them ideal for the indoor rental, exhibition and conference markets.

The series also includes the superfine resolution P4-B and P6-B permanent installation panels, which are ideal for applications such as branded retail outlets where low noise levels and a high contrast ratio - allowing extremely detailed content, or that using dark colours to be shown to full effect – are required.

Finally, a new departure for Lighthouse is its creative range of products, which combine the concept of LED technology and its application to a diverse array of ‘landscapes’ to produce an innovative display solution for a wide range of applications.   

Tile is an imaginative new lighting fixture that truly brings together the worlds of lighting and video production, allowing abstract designs, blocks of colour and large fixed or animated illustrations to be displayed, bringing a whole new dimension to corporate and entertainment visuals.

Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, the Tiles T120850 feature a 12mm pixel pitch and 8 x 8 pixels per Intelligent Module (IM). With 5,000 nits of brightness from 3-in-1 SMD LEDs, contrast ratio of 2000:1 and a viewing angle of 140 degrees, users can produce creative display designs for any size or shape of site.

Mesh is designed for large-scale creative installations which will be viewed from a distance and where transparency is essential. Manufactured in epoxy-coated plastic, it is extremely light and straightforward to install in a wide variety of locations, thanks to the product’s integral hanging rings.

Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, the Mesh M181620 features SMD 3 in 1 LEDs, 18mm pixel pitch and a 16x16 pixel matrix per IM. It has 2000 nits of brightness featuring wide viewing angles and the ability to reproduce 28.15 trillion colours.

It can be installed in lavish arrays or combined with other creative display solutions to form unique installations that will more than satisfy today’s broad range of sophisticated consumer demands. The only limit is your own creativity.

The creative display solutions are driven by SVP-SXGA processors.

More information on the all Lighthouse products will be available from the Lighthouse Stand.
