Panasonic presents four new LCD models for digital signage

Panasonic launches a new IP66 model, with intrusion protection, and 42" and 47" screens that offer high brightness optimized for different digital signage applications. Among the new features, the first waterproof LCD touch screen also stands out.

Panasonic announced this Thursday four new series of LCD displays designed for a wide range of digital signage applications, including point-of-sale (POS) displays, point-of-information (POI) displays, transportation hubs and outdoor signage solutions.

The new screens of the LF series make it possible to make the type of environment where they can be installed as flexible as possible. The LF25, available in 42″ and 47″, features a slim bezel suitable for point of sale (POS) and point of information (POI) displays, restaurant menus and signage applications.

In places with a lot of light, such as shop windows, the new LF30 series provides more luminosity. Also available in 42″ and 47″, it is equipped with Panasonic's original function ports, “SLOT 2.0”, which allow users to change interfaces or internal equipment quickly and easily depending on the source emitting the signal.

Designed to withstand the climatic conditions of outdoor advertising and digital signage, the LFP30 High Brightness series (1,000 cd/m2 measured in ambient light conditions of approximately 80,000 lx.) is available in 42″ and 47″ and has screens with protection against dust and water at IP66 level. They are ideal for factories, public spaces and transport stations, where they are expected to be exposed to rain and dust.

The LFT30 is specially designed for brightly lit outdoor environments. The combination of LCD technology of light transmission and reflection with the highest level of luminosity (1,500 cd/m2 measured in ambient light conditions of approximately 80,000 lx.), and the air cooling system allow the use of the screen even in sunlight. The series is factory equipped with touch screen technology and protection against water and dust to a level equivalent to IP53, allowing interactive applications in public spaces and information stands in shopping centers, for example. The strong color and brightness of the screens ensures that images can be viewed regardless of weather conditions or viewing angle.

David Martín, general director of Panasonic displays marketing, highlighted that "the four different models reflect what our customers are looking for in a medium format LCD screen, and for any scenario from outdoor to corporate. In response, we are working to expand our LCD line and today is the first launch of a waterproof touch LCD screen from Panasonic for the outdoor signage market, a sign of our growth and continuous innovation."
