LG Business Solutions (LG) showcased its latest display innovations for the UK market, including its transparent OLED, new streaming technology and all-in-one LED display, at the ThinkBeyond event in London on 4 and 5 September. The solutions are suitable for a range of industries, including hospitality, education, corporate, and retail.
LG says its latest entries into the hospitality TV market deliver 4K UHD and smart capabilities, and are the first hotel TVs to offer built-in Google Cast. Both Android and iOS users are now able to cast to their hotel TVs. Hospitality models on display at ThinkBeyond included the 4K UHD Smart TV and the 4K UHD OLED TV with Pro:Centric hotel content management capabilities.
Also displayed at the event were UK-first LG education solutions delivered by the new CreateBoard to enable teachers to deliver lesson content more effectively and memorably. Multi-touch capability can track up to 40 separate interactions at a time.
Teaching templates including a ruler, table, and sticky notes also allow for active engagement by students. LG says that images and videos can be quickly edited, and lesson content can be shared via QR code, as well as displaying up to nine shared screens. As well as teaching benefits, CreateBoard also enables communication across multiple rooms, with broadcasting and alert messaging capabilities
New to the UK, LG’s transparent OLED signage delivers in-store signage, and was also on display at ThinkBeyond. LG says the solutions offer high transparency and self-lighting pixels, maintaining vivid colours and high contrast ratio even when the display becomes transparent. The addition of P-Cap touch sensor film also enables interactive retail uses, including check-in, ordering, and product exploration.
Showcased at ThinkBeyond, LG’s 21:9 ultra stretch display is optimised for business, enabling a more flexible, immersive experience than standard 16:9 displays, LG claims, and ensuring all content displayed is the optimum size and definition. Alongside this, its all-in-one micro-LED display is designed for the boardroom.
Nigel Roberts, UK Head of the information display business unit of LG, said: “Our range of cutting-edge display solutions are the foundation for a new generation of excellent user experiences, right across the hospitality, education, corporate, and retail sectors. With many of these innovations coming to the UK for the first time, we’re committed to delivering high-quality display to meet business needs in multiple industries.”
