China Educational Equipment Purchasing News: Although interactive display technologies for signage, education and professional applications have been around for many years, the innovative products needed to drive the rapid growth of this market are only now on the market. With solutions. The InfoComm2011 exhibition held in Orlando, USA this month also demonstrated related technologies.
It is estimated that in 2013, global shipments of various touch screen displays for signage, education, and professional applications will reach 5.4 million units, compared with 1.4 million units in 2010, as shown in the figure below. These displays include liquid crystal, plasma, front projection and rear projection. The compound annual growth rate of the market from 2009 to 2013 will be as high as 56%.
Interactive displays are on the right track
Interactive signage or professional display is a touch screen module integrated with the display. These displays are mainly used in education, as interactive whiteboards, and as guide screens in retail and leisure establishments. However, these products also have great potential in public spaces and corporate meeting rooms.
The interactive whiteboard market has long been controlled by two companies: SMART Technologies Inc. and PrometheanWorldplc. But with the introduction of Texas Instruments PointBlank and Epson BrightLink technology last year, any projector can serve as an interactive whiteboard. SMART's resistive and Promethean's electromagnetic touch technology products are aimed at the relatively high-end interactive touch field, while Texas Instruments' PointBlank and Epson's BrightLink are mainly aimed at a large number of markets.
Texas Instruments announced at InfoComm2011 that it has cooperated with Optoma Technology Inc. and NEC and other companies to use PointBlank in actual products. This move will definitely make it easier for users to obtain interactive whiteboard technology, especially in the field of education that suffers from funding constraints.
PointBlank and BrightLink technology can achieve any surface interaction without using a special whiteboard. Using a pen containing a camera and sensors, these technologies are easy to use and allow users to write in the air or on the surface of the display. Although PointBlank and BrightLink systems allow more people to use interactive whiteboards, these companies still face multiple challenges, including a lack of market experience compared to SMART and Promethean.
Projector in educational applications
More than 97% of the educational touch screen market uses orthographic projection technology; IHS predicts that this situation will remain until 2013. At the InfoComm conference, manufacturers such as NEC, Panasonic, Hitachi and Epson introduced interactive front projector touch displays for the education market.
NEC's recently launched U310PW is an ultra-short projection distance projector that uses Texas Instruments' DLP chip and has a virtual projection remote control. In addition, it can use iPad as an input device. The company is developing multi-touch capabilities and developing an Android operating system for this projector.
Panasonic's recently launched Panaboard has been successful in the enterprise, K-12, and even higher education markets. The product can be used with any projector and can handle up to three-point capacitive touch, with dimensions including 77 inches and 86 inches.
Epson showed a new version of its BrightLink interactive projector at InfoComm. The product is no longer placed on the whiteboard, but on a table. By using 3LCD chip, IR technology, interactive pen and flip the projector, it becomes an interactive desktop. It can project 100-inch images and use any type of software and is suitable for educational and corporate conference rooms.
All the above-mentioned educational products are also suitable for corporate training and educational applications.
Interactivity takes center stage
Interactive displays are also increasingly prominent in digital signage and professional fields, and flat panel displays are more common in these applications. IHSiSuppli predicts that in 2013, the shipment of flat interactive displays in retail and leisure / healthcare areas will exceed 1.2 million units, accounting for 40% of the market in signage, education and professional displays.
Various companies began to introduce a variety of new interactive flat panel displays to the market. Mitsubishi and Cybertouch recently formed an alliance to develop a series of single-contact and optical multi-contact monitors using infrared (IR) technology. These touch-enabled monitors have been sold to a variety of applications, especially crewship, retail signage, education, and other digital signage applications.
NEC also recently launched its latest interactive product-the second-generation V651 monitor. The display uses Lumio's optical touch software. There are four cameras placed at each corner. It is mainly used for retail and directions applications, but it can also be used for enterprise applications.
Companies such as MultiTouch and uma also participated in the InfoComm exhibition, demonstrating their Skin multi-touch environment. Using optical touch, IR and semanticweb technologies, the company demonstrated a modular multi-touch interactive display product that can integrate multiple content producers such as businesses, retailers and brand manufacturers to provide smart content to end users. The device can respond to an infinite number of contacts and can operate 24/7, which has aroused great attention from many parties, including enterprises, museums and the automotive industry.
Interactive technology on the wall
Christie announced at InfoComm2011 that it has added interactive capabilities to its MicrotilesDisplayWallSystem system, calling it Interactive Interactive Wall (InteractiveImpactiveWall). Using BaantoInc.'S shadow sensing technology, InteractiveImpactiveWall technology can distinguish the angle and shadow of objects touching the screen and can detect its position. BaantoInc.'S sensing technology deploys sensors and IR light-emitting diode (LED) lights around to sense touch.
Chrisite's InteractiveImpactiveWall is the first splicable and expandable touch display that can interact with any object. It also does not need to be set up or corrected, and each display can communicate with each other when connected. Microtiles have achieved success in many areas, but the most prominent are architectural displays and rental / stage applications.
According to data from IHSiSuppli, optical and IR touch are the most commonly used technologies in interactive solutions for tablet technology. By 2013, it is expected that optics will account for 46% of the flat panel touch display market, and IR will account for 24%.
Optical imaging has high scalability, durability and cost-effectiveness, and will occupy a large market share. IR is more prominent in signage applications, and also has scalability, good optical performance and durability, but its cost is higher than optical imaging.
