Screen Technology Group PLC, a specialist provider of display solutions, has launched ITrans, the world’s first and only technology to provide high resolution, large format display screens with superior picture quality.

Offering an optical design that provides more than three times the number of pixels per unit area than the highest quality LEDs, ITrans eliminates sub-pixellation and image break-up associated with current display formats such as LEDs when viewed too close. Perfect for use in a wide range of interior or sheltered areas with high ambient illumination levels, the ITrans screens provide both high definition moving video quality images and clear information on large screens, which can be viewed, without image distortion or reduced visibility, from any distance and across a wide angle of view.

Screen Technology’s patent protected technology uses moulded optical fibre tiles to produce seamless large format displays. Typical screen sizes range from 68 to 200+ inches for standard screen formats, but can be built in a wide range of shapes and formats, including horizontal or vertical banner displays to give designers a previously undreamt scope for imaginative use of display media. Current display screens, comparable in price with 6mm LED displays, have a 1.7mm pixel size to provide high resolution, full colour video and excellent image quality.

Any Holmes, Commercial Director at Screen Technology, comments, “We are delighted to be the first company to launch a technology that finally delivers the performance needed to open up the large screen display market. Attempts to use LEDs in this area have had very limited acceptance due to the prohibitive costs associated with delivering any reasonably acceptable levels of resolution. The ITrans technology overcomes, for the first time, the performance barrier that has prevented the growth of a potentially very large market.

“The situations and applications open to ITrans are unlimited, the technology offers the high brightness required for use in high ambient light environments such as exhibitions, trade shows, departure lounges, department stores and hotel and conference facilities, together with high resolution, excellent viewability and an affordable price.”
