Display LED wins PLASA Innovation Award for digiFLEX

The highly flexible LED display module can be curved around pre-formed metal surfaces.

digiFlex, the first-ever fully flexible LED video display

One of the Silver Award winners was UK-based LED specialist displayLED. Its digiFLEX product is described as the first LED screen that combines high-resolution, full colour video capability with a flexible architecture that lends itself to even the most demanding of applications.
“It’s fantastic to have the efforts of the displayLED creative and technical team recognised in this way,” comments the company’s managing director, Graham Burgess. “digiFLEX is a product that really does take LED into new territories. This is the first time we have exhibited at PLASA and the amount of interest, not only in digiFLEX, but in all our products, was incredible. We have enquiries from across the rental and staging sector including TV shows, theatre productions, rock concerts and all manner of public venues.”

Modular in its design, digiFLEX uses LEDs mounted onto a flexible PCB. It has a 10mm pixel pitch and 2000 nit of brightness.
digiFLEX tiles measure 320mm (w) x 160mm (h) and flex smoothly horizontally and vertically. They weigh less than 6kg per square metre – less than 10% that of a traditional LED display. digiFLEX tiles can be used as a skin for pre-formed curved metal surfaces, its magnetic mounted making it quick and easy to install.
The system will accept all inputs including HD and uses our standard processing systems. The feed from the control system is DVI but it will accept anything a digiPRO, digiPRO HD or digiPILOT will accept.
