Latest project creates world first in large format displays
07 Sep 2007
Shearline, the integrated engineering and manufacturing service based in Cambridgshire, has just completed the production and manufacture of the world’s biggest ‘ITrans’ Modular digital display system for AIM listed Screen Technology, a specialist developer of large format display screens.
This latest project has seen the manufacture and production of 24 ITrans Modular display systems at Shearline’s showcase manufacturing facilities in Ely, Cambridge. Put together, the system measures an enormous 200 inches diagonally.
The screen, which has been assembled at Screen Technology’s Cambridge Demonstration Facility, provides high resolution moving video quality images and clear information, which can be viewed at any distance, even in bright sunshine, which makes it ideal for public information and advertising displays in areas such as shopping centres and airports.
Based on patent protected technology, Screen Technology’s ITrans Modular displays are 34 inch ‘building blocks’ designed to be seamlessly tiled together to create screens in almost any shape or size with none of the disadvantages – sub pixilation and image break up - associated with some LEDs and plasma displays when viewed too close.
David Lonsdale, Shearline’s Sales and Marketing manager, comments, “We’ve been working with Screen Technology for a number of years now – from early production development through to full scale manufacture – and we’re absolutely delighted to part of the team that has created the company’s largest display system to date.”
“Screen Technology has developed a compelling and unique product and like them we are sure that this latest display system is set to have a massive impact on the world-wide, multi million pound digital display market.”
Tom Jarman, Screen Technology’s CEO, adds, “With its broad manufacturing capability, a sound understanding of our ITrans technology and its flexible and responsive commitment to out needs, Shearline has proved to be an excellent partner.
“All at Screen Technology and Shearline can be very proud to have created a genuine and compelling world first in large format displays, which has created a real stir in the industry. Never before has pin-sharp image clarity in any environmental condition – including bright sunshine – been available in a display of unlimited size and shape. We see a huge market for this breakthrough technology for the digital signage market, a multi $Bn market that is growing at more than 30% pa.”
