CDS increases range of E-paper displays
Crystal Display Systems LTD ( CDS is offering one of the most environmentally friendly display technologies that can be used in many applications including retail and transport , such as bus stops , rail information boards etc .
E-paper displays for bus digital signage give the appearance of ordinary ink on paper ( like your E-reader ). Unlike traditional backlit flat panel displays that radiate light , E-paper displays work with reflected light , just like paper and can be operated without any power for a period , which opens many new applications and uses for this technology .
This ‘ E-Paper ’ display technology system that can be powered by a solar panel and / or battery with a wireless broadband connection to eliminate all cables and wired connections , allowing a true remote signage solution in otherwise inaccessible places . In all cases , in the event of power loss , the bi-stable technology will keep the current message on the display , which doesn ’ t happen with other Display technologies such as TFT LCDs .
What ’ s more , this display could be combined with a system to collect local data , measure external parameters , and can be used to receive and / or transmit information in case of a blackout of traditional phone networks ( i . e . cellular ) which is unique . The CDS technology when implemented correctly can use up to 99 % less power than a TFT and therefore could be powered by a battery and so become self-reliant . n
CDS Launch the Perfect Enterprise Android Tablet for Kiosk
Crystal Display Systems LTD ( CDS ) has launched the new N-series tablet , a new product designed as an all in one self-service kiosk . Kiosks aren ’ t a new solution in the market , however , a flexible tablet that is modular based and allows customers to attach a functional module such as barcode , RFID or Magnetic swipe is not as prevalent in the market .
Most of the offerings in the market are generic tablets and there are very few companies offering industryspecific ruggedised tablets , which is why CDS are promoting the N-Series Range . The difference between the enterprise N-Series tablet starts from the design . Consumer tablets have batteries , no fixations , exposed controlling buttons , no lockdown function and do not have LAN cables for security purposes . Enterprise tablets have mountings , functionspecific , with lockdown software to prevent third parties from accessing the controls , and the support of the product is 3-5 years , whereas consumer tablets changes models frequently , this leads to the heavy cost of re-engineering and re-testing of software and trying to keep up with the latest consumer tablet models .
The N-Series tablet has so many features and benefits ; it embodies an option for attachments such as a magnetic card swipe , RFID readers and barcode readers that enables applications in system terminals , retail stores , restaurants , hotels , self-service kiosks etc .
With 10-point PCAP touch technology ( reflective glass ), flexible CPU choice and increased security and durability with all controls featured on the back as well as toughened tempered glass , the N-Series is reliable in customer-facing locations . The tablet is equipped with embedded WiFi and offers a 4G module enabling remote content of multiple devices , as well as cable management and are fixation ready for options including wallmounted , tablet-mounted and shelfmount . n
