Public Displays In Everyday Use - NEC MULTEOS Series Brochure & Specs

Public displays in everyday use

Large format LCd public displays are now to be found everywhere. As
information displays they can be seen in all aspects of transportation, in hotels
and museums, on the trading floors of international finance, in the medical
sector, as well as in the monitoring and control rooms of manufacturing plants
and for presenting detailed simulations.
They also find a tremendous variety of different uses at the point-of-sale in
digital signage and retail signage applications: in department stores, shopping
malls, bars/restaurants, fitness studios, on exhibition booths or in conference
centres etc.
How do NeC's public displays differ from
conventional flat-screen TVs?
display solutions, particularly those in daily, continuous use, have to function
professionally, problem-free and reliably for long periods. device malfunctions
can often lead to costly problems and expense.
Conventional flat-screen televisions have been designed for domestic use
and are rarely made to operate beyond the average of four hours daily TV
consumption. The maximum continuous stress these devices have been
designed to operate under is only ten to twelve hours. However, NeC's public
displays have been designed for reliable operation over long periods of time.
TV appliances also have a lifetime of approx. 27,000 hours – professional
public displays have been designed for an operational running time of up to
50,000 hours. This means a doubled product lifetime.
NeC's public displays in the MuLTeOS series and the MultiSync
are remarkable due to their numerous high-quality technical characteristics as
well as their robust design. For example, a special thermal design maintains
4
the temperature of the display at a constant level so that even in extreme
operational environments longevity is assured. Alternatively, the innovative
dust protection technology is also noteworthy. Both these aspects are rarely
to be seen, if at all, in a flat-screen TV.
in format flexibility, NeC's public display solutions also beat conventional flat-
screen TVs hands down. Whilst TV appliances can only be installed or placed

on a stand in the usual 16:10 landscape format or horizontal mode, public
displays also allow the screen to be turned through 90 degrees into portrait
mode. This is particularly advantageous for digital signage applications.
