The future of digital sign in the RAI

The European tradeshow Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) occupied 14 of RAI´s halls between 9 and 12 February. The show is the biggest in the world for professionals in integrated audio and video systems, and also the largest for RAI this year. A lot of attention went to Digital Sign. Enormous 4K and 8K screens tickled the senses. The screens were so bright that a pair of sunglasses wouldn´t have been out of place.

The screens for retail and public spaces for fast changing information and ad space are not new. The realistic quality was new. Every detail was visible on the new screens. Screen manufacturers are convinced of the fact that the printed poster will soon be extinct and all outside advertising will be replaced with digital.
Sharp´s screens are sharp and better-than-print and closer to pms or ral colours than ever before. According to Sharp´s Ronald Huijbregts demand from sign companies an retail is rising.
