Sunlight Screen is simply a cut above the rest

Let's face it, Sunlight, especially direct sunlight is a huge problem when it comes to digital signage. LCDs weren't designed for the continuous exposure to sunlight and quickly suffer from black spotting and subsequently burn out. This is further compounded by the fact that there is simply no luster or brightness in the displays as a result of the sun.


And so the world has been marching on with the same old static outdoor signage and tired, faded marketing imagery. Sunlight Screen LCDs have changed all of that and make direct exposure to the sun not only tolerable, but invited and desired! A whole new world is now at your fingertips. Sunlight Screen is the answer!

How can that be you ask?
Sunlight Screen uses a special patented "transflective" technology that harnesses the sunshine to further power the backlight thereby providing a rich and stunning image that only increases with the sunlight.

But what about the burn in effect caused by continuous exposure to direct sunlight?
Sunlight Screen uses a special cooling mechanism that controls the climate within the housing and thus provides a continuous stream of cool air over the surface of the screen. (Or heat in colder climates)


The result?
A climate controlled, vandal-proof, true sunlight readable LCD unit (available in a variety of sizes and configurations) that can optionally be touch interactive and performs like no other system in the world!

A few more benefits
  1. Designed for long term 24/7 usage
  2. Suitable for all weather conditions (Outdoor Units)
  3. Vandal proof housing (Outdoor Units)
  4. Reduced energy consumption by harnessing the sun
  5. Anti-reflective glass which protects against UV, IR and vandalism
We currently have systems installed in a variety of extreme climates. From outdoor units in the snowy Austrian alps to blazing hot and humid installations elsewheres. We can provide a variety of unique solutions including large 84" bus stop systems and even saltwater-proof housings for installation on the decks of luxury yachts or cruise ships. And Sunlight Screen can just as easily be used indoors as well providing you with a rich and unforgettable image.

Sunlight Screen is ideal for the following unique applications:
-Outdoor digital signage solutions
-Extreme weather environments (Snow, high humidity, rain, heavy traffic)
-Theme Parks and similar large venues
-Luxury yachts and cruise ships
-Storefront windows
-Interior applications (Train Stations, Car Dealerships, Hotels etc.)

Sunlight Screen is manufactured by Screen-NT in Alzenau, Germany and imported and distributed by vislogix in the US, South america and Canada.

Their unique mobile marketing software allows you to effortlessly send your customers text, image, video and web-based content immediately, directly, and automatically to their cell phones whenever they text your keyword to one of MobileLink Media's dedicated short code numbers. They also offer a turnkey "White Label" product known as Enterprise Plus which in essence allows you to incorporate the entire business model and custom branded API into your company's existing infrastructure.

vislogix now distributing Sunlight Screen in the US, South America & Canada

We are very excited to announce that we will be distributing Screen-NT GmbH's absolutely amazing Sunlight Screen products in the United States, South America & Canadian territories.


What is Sunlight Screen?
Sunlight Screen is a true "direct" sunlight readable LCD that comes in a vandal-proof enclosure that is both self-cooling/heating and is manufactured to thrive in virtually any climate from the hot and humid summers in Florida, to the bone-chilling temperatures way up there in the Colorado ski havens. Not only is it "direct sunshine" readable, but it actually gets more vivid as the sunlight intensifies. Even better, each system can be ordered with an optional on-board PC and touch-based interactivity.

To be honest, you can't even compare a regular LCD to a Screen-NT Sunlight Screen. It's a well known fact that normal LCD's don't perform well in sunlight. They lose their contrast, show a lackluster image and get damaged from the continuous exposure to the direct rays of the sun.

Screen-NT's patented Sunlight System on the other hand, utilizes a transflective technology that actually harnesses the strength of the sun to brighten the picture via a built-in reflective system behind the crystals. So in layman's terms, the sun actually increases the backlight therefore improving the image in even unobstructed, direct sunshine. In dark lighting and nighttime conditions, the picture is illuminated as with any other comparable high quality LCD, by using the standard active backlight.


Where will you put yours?
Think of all the new avenues that these Sunlight Screens now open up. Theme parks, outdoor mall interactive directories, stadium interactive screens, special event signage (i.e. golf courses, concerts), in-window daylight displays, bus stops, or any other outdoor digital signage locations that previously were simply unworkable are now fair game. Sunlight Screens are weather proof, vandal proof, self-cooling/heating, perform like a workhorse, and can easily be deployed and maintained.


Stay tuned this month for several new entries and articles on these game changing screens. In the meantime feel free to contact us for more information, case studies, pictures, powerpoint presentations, pricing and specs. Sunlight Screen is manufactured by Screen-NT GmbH in Alzenau, Germany.

Quick Infocomm2009 Booth Recap

Just a quick post regarding our amazing reception at Infocomm2009. Our booth was extremely well received by both attendees and fellow exhibitors alike and this was evidenced by the fact that we were absolutely swamped from start to finish.

We showcased several amazing rear projection screens and films including a brand new super high contrast dual (front & rear) screen called VIStiqueICE which was the highlight feature on our faux interactive thru-glass storefront window touchscreen.(Stay tuned for a more in-depth product feature on this)

We also featured two 50" SAX3D HOPS.® Glass screens and enjoyed having their global business development manager Ronald Schmidt on hand for the event. (Pics & video clips to follow)

Another big highlight was our 4'x9' VIStiqueHC seamless video wall which was done in collaboration with one of our partners Scalable Display Technologies, the leader in edge-blending software. CEO Andrew Jamison, Zach, Ben and the rest of Scalable's team were absolutely fantastic and the response from the crowd was proof once again that SDT's EasyBlend product is the solution for easily blending multiple projectors for seamless large scale displays. (we will post a special piece on this in a few days as well)

And last but certainly not least we launched our Holo-iTouch all-in-one transparent touch screen systems for the US market at this event and needless to say it was a smash hit. Below you can see a short clip from Infocomm09 blogger "Rave Pubs" where our Co-Founder Gino Centofanti was briefly interviewed.



vislogix would also like to thank Mark Cunningham from Infocus for providing the "light" for the booth, Tara Correia (Infocus) for the very cool Infocus touch screen content package, and Brian Wannamaker from Content Interface Corporation for showcasing some of their ultra-dynamic content creation software which looked simply spectacular on our Holo-iTouch units throughout the event.

Welll that's it for now. Over the coming days and weeks we will be providing much more in terms of the event, pics, videos etc. and as always, you can follow us on twitter (@vislogix)

The possibilities are endless
Want to turn a storefront window into an interactive touchscreen without sacrificing transparency? Perhaps create an incredibly eye catching display for your office lobby or tradeshow? Interested in transforming an entire glass building into a sunlight/spotlight powered mural of unforgettable artistic impression? Or how about creating a transparent entry display where a holographic presenter can react to, and welcome your customers in a highly futuristic fashion? Then look no further because with SAX3D and vislogix the only limitation is your imagination. Below are a few examples of HOPS.® in action.

vislogix installs an 84" VIStiqueHC projection screen for Texas de Brazil in Chicago


What better way to start off our new blog than with an installation. Texas de Brazil, a high-end Brazilian steakhouse with 15 current locations across the US and 1 in Aruba, hired us several weeks ago to help increase visibility and branding at their E. Ohio, Chicago location.

The challenge: Increase restaurant traffic and enhance brand visibility by specifically focusing on showcasing the luxurious interior, fine dining, and Texas de Brazil's fabulous "wine angels" to the outside world.

The solution: We designed and manufactured a custom oval-shaped 84" VIStiqueHC (high contrast) projection screen that is suspended in the window. The screen plays a continuous loop of branding effects and restaurant footage including their fabulous wine angels that fly acrobatically like trapeze artists to grab bottles of wine from the 60' high wine wall that is located inside this lavish and sprawling restaurant. (A truly impressive acrobatic display) We also included an interchangeable VISclear screen which is 98% transparent for potential future holographic content.

For inquiries about how vislogix can help you, please contact us at (954) 779-6322 or drop us an email at info@vislogix.com
