Airports demand robust, energy-efficient digital displays that can withstand constant use, with the ability to provide real-time information for travelers. From ticketing to the gate, these indoor spaces require dependable, long-lasting technology that can integrate into architecture, create an immersive experience, and provide valuable wayfinding and flight information.
Daktronics introduces flip-chip Chip on Board (COB) technology, the next generation of LED displays.
Explaining Chip on Board
Flip-chip COB mounts red, green, and blue LEDs directly onto the display, eliminating wire bonds and traditional packaging. This design offers multiple advantages, including enhanced durability, reliability, and flexibility for airports and indoor venues.
COB LED panels are available in a range of pixel spacing to fit various applications. The touchable LED screens are mounted directly onto ultra-thin cabinets, providing wide viewing angles so viewers can see high-quality colors and details from many vantage points.
Advantages of indoor COB LED display technology
Crystal-clear visuals and durability
COB displays feature high pixel density for crisp, vibrant visuals. The deep black, non-reflective surface elevates brightness and contrast, even in harsh lighting conditions, delivering stunning imagery with ultra-fine detail.
The LEDs are protected by a matte-finish surface encapsulant that reduces light reflection and shields the panel from impact, moisture, dust, and oxidation. This makes COB displays touchable, easy to clean, and built to last, even in demanding environments.
Lower operating temperatures and energy efficiency
Daktronics COB displays generate less heat, ensuring more stable performance and a longer lifespan for the LEDs and the overall display system.
High-efficiency power supplies greatly reduce power consumption, reducing operating costs over time. Fewer required circuits mean lower infrastructure costs, enhanced reliability, and a smaller environmental footprint—all contributing to significant long-term savings.
Lighter and thinner design
The COB display cabinets are up to 45% lighter and 55% thinner than previous generations, making them easier to install in a wide variety of locations. With reduced strain on mounting structures and an optional speed frame for quick installation, these cabinets fit seamlessly into tight spaces and close proximity environments.
Unlock new opportunities with COB technology
The effective use of Daktronics COB LED video display technology can provide durability, flexibility, eye-popping imagery and energy savings.
