digiFLEX, the first ever fully flexible LED video display, was awarded an Innovation Award at this year’s PLASA show.

The Awards are chosen by a panel of independent judges drawn from across the industry and were presented by PLASA Chairman Rob Lingfield. digiFLEX was amongst them, impressing the panel with its clever rubberised design that lends itself to new applications and adds a new dimension to display technologies.

Developed by UK-based LED specialist displayLED and forming part of its creative range of products, digiFLEX is the first LED screen that combines high-resolution, full colour video capability with a flexible architecture that lends itself to even the most demanding of applications.

“It’s fantastic to have the efforts of the displayLED creative and technical team recognised in this way,” comments the company’s managing director, Graham Burgess. “digiFLEX is a product that really does take LED into new territories. This is the first time we have exhibited at PLASA and the amount of interest, not only in digiFLEX, but in all our products, was incredible. We have enquiries from across the rental and staging sector including TV shows, theatre productions, rock and roll and all manner of public venues.”

Modular in its design, digiFLEX uses LEDs mounted onto a flexible PCB. It has a 10mm pixel pitch and 2000 Nits of brightness to provide great video resolution in a compact, easy to use form. digiFLEX tiles measure 320mm (w) x 160mm (h) and flex smoothly horizontally and vertically and weigh less than 6kg per square metre – less than 10% that of a traditional LED display - taking the product into new and uncharted territories. digiFLEX tiles can be used as a skin for pre-formed curved metal surfaces, its magnetic mounted making it quick and easy to install.

The system will accept all inputs including HD and uses our standard processing systems. The feed from the control system is DVI but it will accept anything a digiPRO, digiPRO HD or digiPILOT will accept.

digiFLEX is perfect for a wide variety of applications including television, live events and conferences.
