The current LPD range, available from June 2010, features a 25" panel, which is designed to be completely bezel-less with a 0.2mm seam. The versatility of the modular design allows for the construction of video walls in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, including columns, strips, archways and rectangles. The screens can also be set out in curved formations or arranged in large arrays with resolutions significantly higher than the best available from current indoor LED solutions.
Each LPD panel draws just 30 watts of power, making it around seven times more efficient than an average LCD screen. The screens also generate almost no heat during operation, meaning less energy wastage and no cooling issues for installations in confined spaces.
PSCo will be supporting the introduction of Prysm technology in the UK, with demonstration screens available for viewing at its new Reading HQ from April.
PSCo managing director Stuart Holmes comments, "LPD is a huge step forward in the professional display market and will give system integrators and consultants an alternative to consider in almost every display application. Its picture quality and high brightness means it offers a high resolution alternative to LED, while its lack of degradation and low cost of ownership means it's a viable alternative to plasma, LCD and projection."
PSCo will be the distribution and service partner for the technology, offering AV integrators a training programme, demonstration facilities and technical support in specifying the screen. The PSCo team will also be working with Prysm to create a range of accessories to compliment its integration in both rental and permenant application.
Steve Scorse Prysm VP and general manager in EMEA adds, "We have chosen PSCo to partner with in the UK due to the company's extensive experience in introducing new visual technologies to both the rental and sales channels and their in-house technical and service expertise."
