Sponsored by SID and Information Display Magazine, the awards are sought after in the international information display industry - the industry responsible for designing and manufacturing the displays that give life to television sets, notebook computers, desktop computer monitors, cell phones, PDAs, DVD players, and many other office-based, home-based, and portable electronic devices.
The award, which was announced in this month's edition of the Information Display Magazine, is voted for by display industry peers made up of distinguished display professionals and influential members of the trade press, making it a significant win for SoundVu technology. SoundVu technology brings sound and vision together by turning the display screen into a loudspeaker. The technology involves the optimal positioning of exciters at the 'invisible' edge of a screen and the controlled integration of a vibrating screen with the main body of a display product to achieve synchronization of image and sound. SoundVu technology can be applied to a wide range of transparent materials, from polycarbonate plastics to laminated and tempered glass. The technology removes the need for conventional loudspeakers, giving manufacturers of display products such as mobile phones, flat-screen LCD monitors and televisions added design flexibility and an easy, space-saving means of producing sound, without compromising on quality.
