ActiveLight introduces integrated touchscreen for digital signage

April 27, 2005

SEATTLE — ActiveLight, Inc., value-added distributor of advanced displays, dynamic signage solutions and projection equipment, announced in a news release that it has partnered with Display Werks to launch its 40-inch TActive LCD, an integrated touchscreen for digital signage applications, on May 18 at the Digital Retailing Expo in Chicago.

The booth will include a working installation of a true digital signage application using the TActive LCD. "This is another step forward for the digital signage industry, and ActiveLight is once again pleased to be involved," said Brad Gleeson, president and chief operating officer of ActiveLight. "Interactive displays are becoming increasingly popular, and Display Werks has created a breakthrough LCD that will lead the way for more innovative digital signage applications."

Designed for use in digital signage installations, the TActive supports multiple video inputs, features 1280 x 768 high-resolution video performance, and offers a 170-degree or better viewing angle. With the appropriate software the display can be used in both portrait and landscape modes, and allows the whole screen or just parts to be touch sensitive. Compared to a plasma display, the LCD reduces the chances for image burn-in.
