It is truly the digital age we're living in. Semiconductor industry is making fast and huge strides towards better display solutions. Huge screens with perfect clarity in picture have already been realized. Starting from LCD screens to the more recent LED display , today we have at our disposal great technology. Obviously the advertising sector is buzzing with excitement. The scope of these displays is beyond emphasis. Communication of an idea or concept has never been more fun. Creative genius can now be put to better use and justified with clever computer programming and graphic designs.
There have arrived, thanks to the brilliance of human mind, innovative means of passing on the message. Outdoor signs no longer translate to traditional paper or cloth banners. Posters stuck onto bill boards aren't the only way to advertise one's services and products. Neither is the newspapers nor radios the sole broadcasting technology at our disposal. Messages in the interest of public can now be flashed over huge, hard to miss and virtually "ready to be placed anywhere" LED screens. This gives the designers more creative freedom, allowing for stable but attractively illuminated text or pictures, short films in 2D or 3D.
No more do the M&M chocolate eggs have to stay where they are. They can bounce up and down and represent the cheerfulness they stand for. Quiet as well, public advisories and social messages can be presented in a succulent and interesting way, replete with animations to make them more noticeable. The fact that these monitors are lightweight and sleek allows them to be propped up almost anywhere so that people can get access to the information flashes when they're on the road as well as when they're at the reception of an exquisite hotel.
LED displays are new age screens with increased resolution, better contrast and brightness owing to the light emitting diodes which make up the picture. All that a tiny LED needs to glow is a voltage not higher than 12 V, thus lowering the power consumption. In fact, the best thing about an LED display is its power efficiency which invariably results in cost efficiency. The brightness of these screens attracts people's attention and messages of social importance can be effectively broadcast to a huge audience on these displays.
Aside from this, LEDs can also be used to fabricate illuminated signs . Until recently, the only illuminated signs came from phosphorous coatings or neon bulbs. While the former is good for night time signage, the latter has a better alternative to it, in terms of power efficiency. Traffic lights are one application of LED signs where differently colored LEDs are used under universal conventions to regulate traffic movement. In addition, these signs also help mark boundaries, lanes, directions and the best bit? They're good to use during the day as they are when it's dark.
In all, these innovative technologies have brought an undeniable tinge of excitement to outdoor signs as well as indoor ones- because life was meant to be beautiful.
