LG to showcase digital signage solutions at Passenger Terminal Expo 2018

LG Electronics, will showcase its futuristic digital signage solutions at the Passenger Terminal Expo (PTE) 2018, on March 20-22, in Stockholm, Sweden. Attention-grabbing displays, including Flight Information Display Systems (FIDS), the Ultra Stretch Signage products and the OLED range, provide crystal clear images and guarantee the best information visibility under any condition and viewing angle, leaving passengers in terminals with a satisfying smile.

The eye catcher of LG’s booth in the Stockholmsmässan Congress Centre is its 55-inch OLED Circle with 360 degrees of iconic signage and a state of the art design to attract the passengers’ attention. With its elegant form, this is the ideal way for retailers and airport operators to catch the passengers interest at busy airports. Besides that, its curved flexibility maximizes the space design versatilities, which makes this product ideal for various promotion purposes, such as advertising high-end products.

Arrival and departure information

Another highlight at PTE 2018 is LG’s Flight Information Display Systems (FIDS), showing real-time arrival and departure information that operate 24/7. These FIDS-signage solutions use In Plan Switching (IPS) technology which guarantees clear colours at any vertical and horizontal angle. This means that passengers can read the information on the screens regardless of the viewing angle.

The non-glare treated displays allows to not be affected by natural light during the day or bright artificial light in the evening. LG’s products include features for additional protection against other external factors, such as sunlight, dust and humidity. Furthermore, LG provides FIDS displays with power built-in Open Pluggable Specification (OPS), requiring only one electrical supply to power the display as well as the OPS-kit.

At LG’s PTE booth, there will be two Video Walls; one for FIDS, with a much lower reflection, and one for High Brightness. The Video Walls are ideal for large public spaces, like airport terminals, where it is essential to communicate the right information, quick and effectively, so passengers can find their way around. The FIDS Video Wall is equipped with LG’s webOS System-on-Chip (SoC) smart platform, which is directly integrated with the displays. This solution will not only reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) but also eliminate additional points of failure, remove the need for an external player and requires less cabling.
