Together you'll see what we can do...

Here at Display Solutions, we are technically described as a distributor in the digital signage industry. But what exactly do you get from your distributor? Purely a product, or an all round supportive service from inquiry to installation? That's where we're different.

Our dedicated team have worked hard over the past 18 years to differentiate ourselves from the standard distributors in the market. With our technical knowledge and strong relationships with our overseas partners, we can offer you:

-          Shorter lead times
-          Components or complete turnkey packages
-          Lower costs

Not to mention our wide product portfolio, where our range covers:

-          interactive displays
-          ruggedised systems
-          embedded computing
-          touch screens
-          single board computers
-          individual components

To put it simply, it's your vision, and our capability. Together they create the unmatched technical innovation, interactivity, quality and value for money, brought to you by Display Solutions. We can see your project through from consultation to design, manufacture, installation and most importantly, after care. Or, if you just need a component, we can provide you this too. Your vision, and your choice.

Electronics Design Show Preview

We announced earlier in the year that we were to exhibit at the Electronics Design Show in October, at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, and we’re now in the 6 week countdown to the show! Here’s an insight into what you can expect to see on Stand H42 on the 22nd and 23rd October…

We are excited to announce that we will be unveiling our newest touchscreen products from our DisplayTouch range, which have been designed to resist strong impacts in exposed environments. 

The DTSF-17MOFP is the latest product to be added to Display Solutions’ own DisplayTouch range. This vandal-proof, open frame Projected Capacitive touchscreen features an optically bonded protective layer of glass secured over the PCAP touch sensor to enhance the performance of the display in outdoor environments. With a total 7.3mm glass stack-up thickness this provides superior resistance and protection from impacts whilst meeting the UL-60950 requirement. In addition, the edge-to-edge flush design enables easy cleaning, for a bacteria/dust free screen. Offering both multi-touch and gesture input, these screens are well-suited for a variety of high-performance touch applications, including kiosk, gaming and ticketing. The DTSF-17MOFP is available in a range of sizes, from 15” to 19”, and is Windows 7 compatible.

“Our DisplayTouch range offers proven durability, usability and originality,” comments Brendan O’Reilly, product manager at Display Solutions. “The range presents products ideal for any indoor environment, where a reliable, accurate and high-speed touchscreen experience is required. Working closely with system integrators in the entertainment, information, retail and education industries, we help develop fast and easy solutions to suit the ever growing demand for high-performance touchscreen technologies.”

However, that’s not the only new product we will be unveiling at the October show. We are pleased to be exhibiting our latest product from Shuttle, the DS81. The new DS81 is a slim, yet powerful embedded barebone PC. Shuttle’s DS81 supports the latest software and trends in high-performance digital signage. Pushing the limits in terms of interactivity and connectivity, the DS81 supports seamless playback of ultra-high definition video and graphics.

“The Electronics Design Show is a key event for Display Solutions,” continues O’Reilly. “Visitors to the stand will discover and experience our latest display technologies, which are underlined by our technological expertise and know-how within the digital signage sector and our ability to offer innovative solutions to meet the most challenging demands.” We're looking forward to showing off our latest product portfolio - we hope that you pay us a visit on Stand H42 to meet the team, ask any questions, and watch our product demonstrations.

Account Manager Brendan O'Reilly visits the Far East

At the end of August, our Account Manager Brendan O’Reilly took a trip out to the Far East to visit some of our partners and discuss some exciting new product releases coming up in Autumn. Accompanied by one of our customers, Peter Cieslak from RSL, Brendan flew out for a jam-packed 6 day visit to China and Taiwan.

Trips to the Far East have become part of a routine for Brendan and Cheng here at Display Solutions, with all of our suppliers located in the China and Taiwan regions. This trip involved meetings with partners such as ASRock, Litemax, Shuttle and Unicorn as well as our manufacturing plants for our DisplayTouch range. Brendan O’Reilly comments "By visiting our partners in China and Taiwan, we can see the latest products in the flesh and discuss large projects at ease with all the key members in one room. Peter accompanied me on this trip to discuss a potential project, which enabled him to gain peace of mind from seeing the product and manufacturers face to face opposed to over the phone or internet. " One of the key projects discussed on the business trip was our newest, vandal proof touch screen product from the DisplayTouch range, due to be arriving with us in October. We will have more information and a demo of the product on display at the Electronics Design Show in October, so make sure you pay us a visit on Stand H42.

We are pleased to announce that whilst visiting our LCD partner Litemax in Taiwan, Brendan was awarded the Best Distributor 2014 certificate from the company. It was a great honour to receive this award from Litemax and we are pleased to see our partnership growing! With new products being released all the time, we are looking forward to seeing what the future holds.
